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!

(Don't mess with Texans)
To: All
A minister concluded that his church was getting into serious
financial troubles..
Coincidentally, by chance, while checking the church storeroom,
he discovered several cartons of new bibles that had never been
opened and distributed. So at his Sunday sermon, he asked for
three volunteers from the congregation who would be willing to
sell the bibles door-to-door for $10 each to raise the desperately
needed money for the church.
Peter, Paul and Louie all raised their hands to volunteer for
the task.
The reverend knew that Peter and Paul earned their living as
salesmen and were likely capable of selling some bibles but he
had serious doubts about Louie. Louie was just a little local
farmer,
who had always tended to keep to himself because he was
embarrassed by his speech impediment. Poor little Louis stuttered
very badly.. But, not wanting to discourage poor Louis, the
reverend decided to let him try anyway.
He sent the three of them away with the back seat of their cars
stacked with bibles and asked them to meet with him and report
the results of their door-to-door selling efforts the following
Sunday which they did.
Eager to find out how successful they were, the reverend
immediately asked Peter, "Well, Peter, how did you make out
selling our bibles last week?"
Proudly handing the reverend an envelope, Peter replied,
"Father, using my sales prowess, I was able to sell 20 bibles,
and here's the 200 dollars I collected on behalf of the church."
"Fine job, Peter!" The reverend said, vigorously shaking his
hand. "You are indeed a fine salesman and the Church is
indebted to you."
Turning to Paul, he asked "And Paul, how many bibles did you
manage to sell for the church last week?"
Paul, smiling and sticking out his chest, confidently replied,
"Reverend, I am a professional salesman and was happy to give
the church the benefit of my sales expertise. Last week I sold
28 bibles on behalf of the church, and here's 280 dollars I
collected."
The reverend responded, "That's absolutely splendid, Paul. You
are truly a professional salesman and the church is also indebted
to
you."
Apprehensively, the reverend turned to little Louie and said,
"And Louie, did you manage to sell any bibles last week?"
Louie silently offered the reverend a large envelope. The
reverend opened it and counted the contents.. "What is this?"
the reverend exclaimed. "Louie, there's 3200 dollars in here!
Are you suggesting that you sold 320 bibles for the church,
door to door, in just one week?
Louie just nodded.
That's impossible!" both Peter and Paul said in unison. "We are
professional salesmen, yet you claim to have sold 10 times as
many bibles as we could."
"Yes, this does seem unlikely," the reverend agreed. "I think
you'd better explain how you managed to do accomplish this, Louie."
Louie shrugged. "I-I-I- re-re-really do-do-don't kn-kn-know
f-f-f-for sh-sh-sh-sure," he stammered.
Impatiently, Peter interrupted. "For crying out loud, Louie,
just tell us what you said to them when they answered the door!"
"A-a-a-all I-I-I s-s-said wa-wa-was," Louis replied,
"W-w-w-w-would y-y-y-you l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-to b-b-b-buy
th-th-th-this
b-b-b-b-bible f-f-for t-t-ten b-b-b-bucks ---o-o-o-or---
wo-wo-would
yo-you j-j-j-just l-like m-m-me t-t-to st-st-stand h-h-here and
r-r-r-r-r-read it t-to y-y-you?"
