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

FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues; salute and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which we can express ourselves.

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   I can remember lurking when there were only a few regulars who posted, and now there are over 60,000 who have registered for posting privileges. 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 November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I can no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I've been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that doesn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why, in addition to seeing FR's Finest Military Personnel every day, I thought it might be fun to feature a different FReeper (or FReepers) each day. If you would like to be pictured, or know someone who would, please FReepmail me and we'll turn the spotlight - on YOU - for the day!

And do let me know if you'd like your picture added to the groups of Veterans/Active Military below. I will keep this page updated, and continue to add them to the comment section of the original Veteran's Day thread as well.

SOME OF FR'S FINEST PROFILE PAGES #8

Many Freepers have taken advantage of the opportunity to create a Profile Page. The results of these creations are often illuminating, humorous, inspirational, artistic or biographic, just to mention a few descriptive words.

Below are some randomly selected FR's Finest Profile Pages. There are, of course, many other FR's Finest Profile Pages worthy of featuring, and we will be featuring them in future editions of Some of FR's Finest Profile Pages. Several have already been featured (see links below). If you have a Profile Page you would like to share, or if you come across a Profile Page that you want to bring to our attention, you know the drill - freepmail Billie, Mama_Bear, Dansangel, dutchess or myself.

In the meantime, please take a look at Some of FR's Finest Profile Pages #8.

phelix is another talented Freeper with a beautiful Webpage which is linked on her Homepage - "simply a collection of flowers from my yard, my cats, my artwork and some poems and stories that are special to me. It means a lot to me to be able to share them here as part of my life...my blink within a dream." Do check out the lovely flowers. Spring is coming!

Mr. Mulliner, whose screen name was formerly Singapore Yank, has provided a recommended reading list of Christian Classics. In fact, he has nifty "bookshelf" with some of these classics. They are all in the public domain so can be freely downloaded. Just click on a title and start reading or print it out.

Mr Fowl's Homepage is devoted to the sport of water fowl hunting on the Delaware Bay. Everything from tide charts, to satellites, to navigational photos can be found here. And if you are not into water fowl hunting, have a look anyway. There is one particular link I enjoyed-one to the lighthouses of Delaware Bay. Also included are some good photos of his beautiful hunting dog, Bob.

Centurion2000 claims that his Homepage is under construction but believe me, it is completed enough to be featured here. Once you read this page, you will come away knowing plenty about this younger FReeper. He shares much of himself. He is picturered here at the Hawkwood Mideval Fanstasy Festival playing a character named Pox. Did I mention that he is interested in science fiction gaming?

Siobhan's Homepage features beuatiful religious art, mostly of Madonna and Child, with a poignant lead-in message from Mother Teresa on abortion, published in the Wall Street Journal in 1994. This message starts out "America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and...."

Arkinsaw's Homepage provides a link to "The Cult of Scalia" - a wonderful site for all fans of Justice Antonin Scalia. Some of the magnificent opinions he has written are available on this site. Also links to two fine organizations are provided - Sons of Confederate Veterans and Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War.

[ST.LOUIE1]

LOL!!! Saddam = The Bogy Man! LOL!!
Thanks Louie!

You're welcome. Now hit the sack.: )

[Pippin]

Amen!

Thank You, Nan!

[LadyX]

Marie, I know you are a woman of deep faith, and that is the secret to all those worries you are carrying.

Rely upon that - believe it when God assures you HE IS IN CHARGE of your life - has a Plan just for you, as he has each of us.

I see you as participating here because of the contributions you make to us, cheerful and complimentary and spreading sunshine.

He has told us that for a time, the Evil One will have dominion over the entire earth!
That means he is allowed to nip and bite us - cause the sickness and pain and dismay and disappointments, so that we might be SEPARATED from God!
He is so jealous of not being able to top God that he tries to ensnare as many as he can - knowing God has SAID there will come a day when He will stomp him!

It is a matter of choice for us to learn to lean on God, realizing He is always there - always has our best interests at heart.
Was it not God who made it possible for you to move to a better place?
No doubt guided you to your good job?
Probably deliberately planted you there to influence those with liberal thoughts and attitudes.

Perhaps you are to change the mind and heart of just ONE person - and that would be wonderful!!

Even so, the world's course has been developing for centuries - all the stories are in the Back of The Book - and guess what?
God WINS!!

So therefore, do we, believing He loved us so much His only begotten Son was born among us - suffered for us all the sins ever thought of - and paid the price for them all.

Although we each might face tragedies and horrible things, continue to pray, believing God hears each prayer, and will strengthen you and see you through all things.

I extend to you {{{ Hugs from Him, with love from me }}}

[Pippin]

You telling me to go to bed?

Okay, I'll go to bed and dream of GWB kicking Saddam's butt!

Okay, Folks!

This time I'm off to bed for real this time.

Good night and God bless!

(and behave yourselves)LOL!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Louie! Thanks for calming my fears, now how about a piece of pie?

Surely you jest!!!!! You just told me I wasn't "caring" or "giving".

And now you want pie???? Hah! Run along, hobbit!

[Pippin]

Thank You, ((LADYX))! And Thanks be to God!

[ST.LOUIE1]

You telling me to go to bed?
Okay, I'll go to bed and dream of GWB kicking Saddam's butt!

Atta girl! LOL

[WVNan]

Oh my goodness! I didn't realize how late it is. I need to got to bed. Weekends are your time off, but it's my work time. Good night all.

[LadyX]

NOT YET!!!

I just 'talked' to ya!!
LOL

[Pippin]

Run along, hobbit?!

HAH!!!

We'll see about that!

[Pippin]

Good Night, Nan!

[LadyX]

Hugs good night, Nan.
May God give you and Pippin rest and refreshing.

[Pippin]

Wellllllll!!!!!!!!

Since you insist!

I'll stay for a little while then I'll go to bed.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Good night, Nan, good night Xie, goodnight, Pip, goodnight Jonboy. Hey....he could be a lurker. : )

It's been a pleasure spending the evening with such lovely ladies tonight.

I almost went out tonight....glad I didn't. : )

[LadyX]

And you, Louie, get a special good night for being - - being - - the wonderful wolf you are.

I really, really mean it..:))

I should go to bed, too.

[Pippin]

Good Night, Louie!

[LadyX]

I see now you read what I wrote, Pippin.
Seriously, you can reach a state of calm if you learn how to let go of all the reins - stop being 'responsible' and self-sufficient, and let God LEAD you more.

That is the hardest thing in the world to learn, I found!
We often are so intent upon 'fixing' things we do it all wrong.
He sometimes places roadblocks in our path so we will, in despair, look to Him.

He has the answers.

[ST.LOUIE1]

And you, Louie, get a special good night for being - - being - - the wonderful wolf you are.
I really, really mean it..:))

I know you do, how could you not? LOL Seriously, thank you, pretty Xie. : )

I should go to bed, too.

Yes, you should, I think we've worn this thread out. : )

Nitey, nite.
