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 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. : )

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

[Majie Purple]

Good idea about posting those table links for all!

While I'm at it.I'm not sure that I'll get that framed one to post in my Profile page... 'cause when I re posted it to you here, it came out un framed.

No worries! I'll just come back tp the thread to view it! I have this one bookmarked anyway!

[MEG33]

Freepmail on the way to explain..and some tips..Those links I gave you are about frames and has some you can use.
I did the frames..I takes time to learn.

[Zacs Mom]

Thank you!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

I am self taught on the computer and have been working on learning to set up tables forr the past week and a half!! I knew I was making it harder than it needed to be and as I read thru Billie's 3 threads it all finally clicked!!

What a wonderful tutorial, Billie and Meg33, bless your heart for thinking to post those links!

[MEG33]

I am so glad I did! I could not begin to do what you do with graphics!

[Zacs Mom]

"I could not begin to do what you do with graphics! "

LOL ~ Thanks......but sometimes it is a struggle!! I am definately one of those people who learn by doing rather than by reading, so I think for the most part I actually re-invent the wheel each and every time I figure out how to do something with a graphic. (which is exactly why Billie's great tutorial helped so much!!)

He Never Changes

Read:
Psalm 103:11-22

You, O Lord, shall endure forever, and the remembrance of Your name to all generations. —Psalm 102:12

Bible In One Year: Leviticus 25; Mark 1:23-45

Photographer David Crocket of Seattle's KOMO-TV knows that solid mountains can move. On May 18, 1980, he was at the foot of towering Mount St. Helens when it erupted. For 10 hours he was nearly buried by the falling debris. As the atmosphere cleared, a helicopter pilot spotted him. He was dramatically rescued and flown to a hospital.

Writing about his horrendous experience, he said, "During those 10 hours I saw a mountain fall apart. I saw a forest disappear. . . . I saw that God is the only one who is immovable. . . . I feel somehow that I'm being allowed to start over—whatever is in His master plan for me."

Nothing in our world, not even a mountain, is absolutely indestructible. God alone is absolutely unchangeable—He endures "forever" (Psalm 102:12). He "has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all" (103:19).

When we trust ourselves to God's keeping, we are forever secure. He removes our sins from us "as far as the east is from the west" (103:12). And His mercy toward us is "from everlasting to everlasting" (v.17). He holds us in His almighty hands, and nothing can pry us loose from that omnipotent grip (John 10:28-29). —Vernon Grounds

I do not rest on shifting sand,
Or fear the storm that rages;
For calm and sure, I stand secure
Upon the Rock of Ages. —Anon.

Our world may crumble around us, but God never changes.

Good morning, Mayor. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Have a blessed Sunday...sing out in church!

Thanks for our beautiful lesson from God's Word. Thank God that He never changes and that He always loves us, no matter what.
