A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997. Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Welcome to another
Fabulous Friday at the 'Finest',

YIKES!! It's....















Yes, it's just...

Superstition n. A belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation; an irrational abject attitude of mind toward the supernatural, nature, or God resulting from superstition; a notion maintained despite evidence to the contrary.

It is windy and muggy here, and it has rained some, but we are just south of the bad storms that hit Dallas and Tyler.

Well, that's good, because it sounds like they are getting hit pretty good up there.

[LadyX]

Oh, no!! Look what happened after I kissed these guys!!

Chris, it will be our privilege to lift up your needs in prayers for your situation.

Many of us here at The Finest have been recipients of the outpouring of such support from our friends, and can attest to the effectiveness thereof.

Father God, we ask for Your hand to be placed upon this dear young mother and her husband and their precious child, Hannah Rose.

Strengthen all their infirmities, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, giving them grace and peace and blessings.

We as in the Holy Name of Jesus. Amen.

[MeekOneGOP]

Was busy finding things in Google and got sidetracked.

Mama_Bear! It's all your fault..:))

That's right, the bear gets blamed for everything....now, even for Friday the 13th. :-(

I think those fella's look quite cute....especially my PapaBear. Although it's obvious HE likes my porridge, maybe a bit too much. LOL.

This was from my grandmother (my dad's mom).

"never braid your hair or else the devil'll get you."

Perhaps this way will not frighten The Wolfie:

Makes wolfie want to sing a love song.... AhRooooo!
