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!

Welcome Finest Friends. It's Another Finest Pet Day. Time to share some pet humor. Feel free to add your own "fuzzy jokes" (recommended google reading at pet humor or pet jokes!)

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

A local business was looking for office help. They put a sign in the window, stating the following: "HELP WANTED. Must be able to type, must be good with a computer and must be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer."

A short time afterwards, a dog trotted up to the window, saw the sign and went inside. He looked at the receptionist and wagged his tail, then walked over to the sign, looked at it and whined.

Getting the idea, the receptionist got the office manager. The office manager looked at the dog and was surprised, to say the least. However, the dog looked determined, so he lead him into the office. Inside, the dog jumped up on the chair and stared at the manager.

The manager said, "I can't hire you. The sign says you have to be able to type." The dog jumped down, went to the typewriter and proceeded to type out a perfect letter. He took out the page and trotted over to the manager and gave it to him, then jumped back on the chair. The manager was stunned, but then told the dog, "The sign says you have to be good with a computer."

The dog jumped down again and went to the computer. The dog proceeded to demonstrate his expertise with various programs and produced a sample spreadsheet and database and presented them to the manager. By this time the manager was totally dumb-founded! He looked at the dog and said, "I realize that you are a very intelligent dog and have some interesting abilities. However, I still can't give you the job."

The dog jumped down and went to a copy of the sign and put his paw on the sentences that told about being an Equal Opportunity Employer. The manager said, "Yes, but the sign also says that you have to be bilingual."

The dog looked at him straight in the face and said.......

"Meow!"

Have a great day...and keep smiling!!!!!

Shrike System

Read:
Ephesians 6:10-18

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. —1 Peter 5:8

Bible In One Year: Ruth 1-4; Luke 8:1-25

The ancient sport of falconry used trained hawks or falcons in the pursuit of wild game. When the "educated predator" was allowed to fly, however, it often rose too high for human eyes to see. So a hunter often carried a small caged bird called a shrike. By watching the antics of the little bird, the man could always tell where his hawk was, for the shrike instinctively feared the predator and cocked its head to keep it in view.

Christians desperately need an alert perception similar to that of the shrike to detect their spiritual enemy. Our adversary, Satan, "walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8). Our responsibility, according to the apostle Peter, is to be sober and vigilant. In other words, we're to be always on the alert.

It would be nice if God had giant sirens to warn us of an attack by the devil. But He doesn't operate that way. Instead, we must read the Bible regularly, meditate on its truths, maintain a prayerful attitude throughout the day, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Only then will we be sensitive to an imminent assault by the evil one, and be armed by grace to meet it.

Is your spiritual "shrike system" working? —Mart De Haan

The devil is clever, deceiving us all,
He cunningly causes the strongest to fall;
But we his sly methods are sure to discern
By making God's warnings our daily concern. —D. De Haan

He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. —1 John 4:4

wonderful job Sistah Dutchess! Thank you for the chuckle & opening the doors this morning at the Finest. Doing a dozen things at home today before I leave at 1.. I know you are a busy beaver today also... HAVE FUN IN THE DAYS AHEAD!

[Mama_Bear]

G'mornin' sistah. Funny thread today!

Dogs are talented little critters. Give them half a chance, they could take over the world (and it would surely be a better place!)

Have a wonderful day. It is drizzly and gray here AGAIN, but I am going to try to make the best of it by going shopping. :-)

What a delightful pledge of allegiance, dutchess!!

New photos of the little scholar securely fastened into his car seat on his way to school last week. Chachi graduates tomorrow night from intermediate class! An event which will surely provide more photos for your next pet thread. ;-)

Ah, yes!
We all are familiar with his efforts to undermine us in every possible way.

However, God gives us His Divine backing when we bear all those assaults with prayer and confidence, placing our trust in Him, and rely upon the fact that

GOD IS GREATER THAN HE WHO ROAMS
AND HAS POWER OVER THE EARTH!!

[La Enchiladita]

HIGH-larious, MEG!

Oh, how true! I've been there.

'Morning to you and Luv.

[MEG33]

The first time I read that I got so tickled I couldn't talk..I had just been through an ordeal of pill giving with my cat.

[MEG33]

He's a cutie pie!

[La Enchiladita]

I'm supposed to be giving my dear kitty some interferon.

Just a few drops out of the dropper.

You would think I was about to murder her.

I'm not sure much of it gets in her.

Believe me, I cracked up over here reading that true-to-life cartoon.

[Mama_Bear]

He's a cutie pie!

Chachi sez 'thank you'!
