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!

Bush - Cheney 04




Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

Behold the proud, his soul is not upright in him; but the just shall live by his faith. —Habakkuk 2:4


Lord, grant me grace throughout this day
To walk the straight and narrow way,
To do whatever in Thy sight
Is good and perfect, just and right.

The only right way is the straight and narrow way.

Only One Option

Read: Habakkuk 1:1-2:4

Behold the proud, his soul is not upright in him; but the just shall live by his faith. —Habakkuk 2:4

Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 17-19; Mark 13:1-20


If you were to ask several people to draw a crooked line on a piece of paper, no two lines would be identical. There is a lesson in this: There are many ways to be crooked, but only one way to be straight.

The Lord tells us that the righteous person has only one option—to "live by his faith" (Habakkuk 2:4). In the chapter prior to this declaration from the Lord, the prophet Habakkuk had complained about the violence and injustice around him. It seemed as if the wicked were swallowing up the righteous (1:13).

God responded to Habakkuk by saying that His people were to be "just" and were to live by faith. They were not to be like the one who is "proud" and "not upright" (2:4). A proud and self-sufficient person will rationalize his faults and imperfections. He doesn't want to admit that he needs God. His ways are crooked.

Wickedness seems to prevail in our world. God urges us to live our lives in faith, taking to heart His assurance to Habakkuk that there will be a day of reckoning for the wicked.

The only way to please God now and to be ready for that day of reckoning is to live by faith. —Albert Lee

Lord, grant me grace throughout this day
To walk the straight and narrow way,
To do whatever in Thy sight
Is good and perfect, just and right. —Huisman

The only right way is the straight and narrow way.

Good morning from the North Dallas area of the great state of Texas. Kind of cloudy this morning, but we know it come from the Master, the same One who send us sunshine also. We will welcome rain today if that's what we get and thank Him for all the blessings we get.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Good morning Aqua. It does appear to be a good day to clean the forest. I'm going out to the church campground to meet with the Amish who are going to build us some steps for getting up and down the hill. To watch them work is pure poetry. What discipline they have.

Mornin', everybody ! Happy Friday !

Kerry fails to back up foreign 'endorsements'

    Sen. John Kerry refuses to provide any information to support his assertion earlier this week that he has met with foreign leaders who beseeched him to prevail over President Bush in November's election.
    The Massachusetts Democrat has made no official foreign trips since the start of last year, according to Senate records and his own published schedules. And an extensive review of Mr. Kerry's travel schedule domestically revealed only one opportunity for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee to meet with foreign leaders here.
    On Monday, Mr. Kerry told reporters in Florida that he'd met with foreign leaders who privately endorsed him.
    "I've met with foreign leaders who can't go out and say this publicly," he said. "But, boy, they look at you and say: 'You've got to win this. You've got to beat this guy. We need a new policy.' Things like that."

Yeah, I saw that big green blob over Texas on the Weather Channel, it'll be coming this way next. Guess we do need some rain for the April flowers.

That sounds like a grand day in the making. Did you all get any snow last night?

Mornin' to the Finest...
While y'all are thanking God for Friday, would you also ask Him to provide healing for my father-in-law, George. He suffered a stroke yesterday. Latest word we've received is he is regaining some feeling in his right side and is able to speak. It was pretty scary yesterday morning.
George is an 84 year old WWII submarine veteran. He's also a plumber who forgot to retire. He was working on a job yesterday when the incident occurred. Would appreciate your prayers for George and the family. Mrs. d will be traveling north tomorrow morning to join her sister, brother and dad.
Thanks, FRiends.

I'm working on a new dance--"The Kerry Flip Flop Shuffle." The critters love doing it.

The last move is at a fire hydrant--get it?.
