The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
When a high school student tried using a thermometer to measure a table, his teacher was dumbfounded. In 15 years of teaching, Dave had seen many sad and shocking situations. But even he was amazed that a student could make it to high school without knowing the difference between a ruler and a thermometer.
When a friend told me this story, my heart broke for that student and others like him who have fallen so far behind in their education. They cant move forward because they havent yet learned basic lessons of everyday life.
But then a sobering thought came to me: Dont we sometimes do the same thing when we use wrong spiritual measuring devices? For example, do we assume that churches with the most resources are the most blessed by God? And do we ever think that popular preachers are more godly than those with few followers?
The proper measure of our spiritual condition is the quality of our lives, which is measured by such attributes as lowliness, gentleness, and longsuffering (Eph. 4:2). Bearing with one another in love (v.2) is a good indication that we are moving toward Gods goal for us: the measure of . . . the fullness of Christ (v.13).
Read: Ephesians 4:1-16
Just a switch from lurker mode to say hello!
Hi MA! *HUGS*
Hope you had a nice Labor Day!
Working weekend for me, just got home, and about 15 layers of dirt are swirling around me. I feel like Pigpen.
Off to go get clean, and pay some attention to my pets, we have only waved at each other coming and going.
Y’all have a great evening!

Hi, Lauren! (((hugs)))
Great thread tonight...in our old stomping grounds..Georgia.
We were at Robins AFB, in Warner Robins. Used to be a SAC base, and I loved watching the B-52s take off. :)
