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!

I'm not ready. :( I don't know where the days went since *last* Tuesday. I have nothing ready for today. And the reason is because... uh, well, ummm.... I know there's a really good reason, I just have to think of it. Okay it's one of these maybe:

Top Ten Reasons I Don't Have
a Really Neat Post For Today

10.  It was a beautiful week so I washed windows.
 9.  I planted a garden.
 8.  I went sailing.
 7.  I slept all week.
 6.  My PC crashed.
 5.  OK, it didn't actually crash, but Roscoe
     jumped up, and hit the delete key just before
     I *saved* the file. (it could happen)
 4.  I had *writer's block* and nothing came to me.
 3.  I'm tired.
 2.  I needed a break.
 1.  I took it today. :)

Have a Happy Day!
Hope someone brings somethin' to eat!

[cyborg]

Good morning... pretty graphic!

[Billie]

Hi, cyborg, thank you. It's nice seeing you here today. Want to join Gabz and me at IHOP for pancakes? :)

[Gabz]

I could really dig into some IHOP pancakes about now - but I htink the nearest one to me is 100 miles away..............sigh

[Billie]

...but I htink the nearest one to me is 100 miles away..............sigh

Then you'd REALLY be hungry by the time you got there. Let's see if we can find some closer - like here. :)

(You like 'em with faces on them?) LOL

[Gabz]

ROFL!!!!!

My husband is a master pancake maker and makes a huge batch of them on Satuday mornings - we toss the leftovrs in the the freezer and can have pancakes for breakfast anytime!!!!

Lesson From A Honey Bee

Read:
2 Kings 7:1-11

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. -Psalm 107:2

Bible In One Year: Psalm 25-27

Years ago I set out a honeycomb to feed some bees that had a hive a short distance away. To start the process I captured one bee in a cup, placed it over the honeycomb, and waited until the bee discovered the treasure. When it was filled and satisfied, it flew directly to the hive. After a moment the bee returned with a dozen others. These in turn brought many more, until finally a swarm of bees covered the comb and soon had carried all the honey into the hive.

What a lesson for us! Are we telling others about the One we have found? Christ has committed to us the proclamation of the "good news." Shall we who have found honey in the Rock-Christ Jesus-be less considerate of others than the bees are?

The four lepers who sat just outside the gate of Samaria, after they had found food in the tents of the Syrians who had fled in the night, passed on the good news. They said one to another, "We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent. . . . Let us go and tell the king's household" (2 Kings 7:9).

The child of God who knows the good tidings of the gospel does not do right if he fails to pass it on to others. Tell a hungry soul about Christ today. -M. R. De Haan, M.D.

Close to your door may be someone in sin,
O tell him the story true
Of Him who died his lost soul for to win-
O bring the one next to you! -Forsythe

Once you've tasted the Bread of Life, you'll want to share it.

That's a good idea. I love pancakes. :)

[Billie]

Close to your door may be someone in sin,
O tell him the story true
Of Him who died his lost soul for to win-
O bring the one next to you! -Forsythe

That's beautiful.

[Gabz]

Lovely.

Good morning!

[Gabz]

It works great. Take out how many you want, stick on a plate and zap in the micro!!!

[Billie]

Will try to remember to make a bigger batch so we can save some for another day, too.

Well, I'm going to take a break for a while and will be back later. Enjoyed having breakfast with you! :)
