~ God Bless Our Military ~

We ask Lord, that you guide the leaders of our great country in all of their decisions. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decision.

Protect and guide our military Oh Lord; strengthen them in their trials; give them courage to fact the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; Aquamarine; dansangel, and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, all military personnel and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

"Godhelp"

Read:
Psalm 32

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. -Psalm 32:1

Bible In One Year: Numbers 1-3

A man arrested for the murder of a 12-year-old girl was also suspected of other killings. When police searched his computer, they found a file labeled "My Sins," but it couldn't be opened because it was protected with a password. A computer expert went to work using software to break the code. After 16 hours and billions of combinations, he found this password: "Godhelp." The file detailed six brutal crimes, including rape and murder.

I wonder if that man had created the file and its unique password because of the overwhelming burden of guilt for what he had done. Perhaps he knew that only God could help him deal with the enormity of his crimes.

We all have past sins that weigh us down. We may feel as David did when he wrote that God's hand was heavy upon him day and night and that his "vitality was turned into the drought of summer" (Psalm 32:4). Yet relief can come. David said, "I acknowledged my sin to You . . . . I said, 'I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,' and You forgave the iniquity of my sin" (v.5).

The miracle of God's forgiveness does not remove the consequences of our sins. But when we confess our sins to Him, He will forgive us and cleanse us (1 John 1:9). His mercy and help are sure. -David McCasland

Lord, give me courage to confess,
To bare my sinful heart to Thee;
Thy full forgiveness I would know
And from this weight of guilt be free. -D. De Haan

When God forgives, He removes the sin and restores the sinner.

"Mainstream" Media accuse Blogs of having agenda

They're right. Our "agenda" is truth and ending the socialist/liberal lock on the mainstream media.

I like your style. Thank you for your contributions to A Few of FR's Finest. I applaud your service and dedication and appreciate being welcomed into this thoughtful, caring and patriotic forum. God bless America. He is definitely working His message through all of you that meet here....

[Diver Dave]

...it's becoming increasingly clear that the salivating morons who make up the lynch mob in Old Media have slipped into a hopeless Blogmire. With no Exit Strategy.

Another GREAT Essay, JH2!

Dansy, GREAT job with the graphic presentation.

[LadyX]

"The salivating morons who make up the lynch mob prevail,"

WHAAAT Tha ---!!!
JH and dansy, I surely am glad LadyX had to be away today, and I - Sometime Reporter Maggie Malone" am subbing for her...that would have upset her mightily.

Looking around the Finest Family Room, there are "salivating morons" among us?!

Recruited jwfiv's sidekick, Johnny Mac to assist with looking for something to support their charge, and here are some of the faces he photographed --
Dear Readers -- YOU decide!!!

Entering the front door was one that *might* be a wee biased, but no moron --

[Pausing here for an unabashed "self-promoting ad" (sorry, Sean) for me. me, me :]

First, I tried to get Mama_Bear - too shy, and allowed only this: --

but gave me one of jkphoto --

Next, dansy, was your hunky driver, Lars!!
(eat yer heart out, dutchess - hahaha)

Johnny Mac managed to snap Aquamarine resting after her grueling days off --

Hard to believe, but this is the usually very busy The Mayor, thinking of an ice cream cone - definitely is NOT a moron!

WEINIE IS here with us!!! Hooray!!

Little confused since JM didn't mark these two --
Which one is the REAL Kitty Mittens, Johnny Mac??

UH OH!! Must be seeing things --
and will add just one more --

Yep, folks, FR is indeed the cats' pajamas,
but I didna see any evidence of "morons"..:))
