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!
~ Billie, Dutchess, DollyCali, GodBlessUSA, JustAmy ~

Thank you to all our Hall of Famers and to all of you who have become part of our Finest Family ... as regular contributors and supporters who drop in every day to say hello.  We wouldn't be here without you. : )

We're FOUR YEARS OLD now! Still having fun. We hope you are. As promised, for your information and perusal, here is our sixteenth "Hall of Fame" - a list of all our threads from the very beginning ... from Monday, June 24, 2002, through yesterday, June 30, 2006.

[stopem]

Thank you ALL Hall of Fame'rs!

This is one of the BEST Threads on FR!

::::Applauding.:::::

I appreciate being allowed to participate in this heartwarming thread in honor of and Blessings on our fantastic Troops!

[Billie]

Thank you, stopem. I appreciate your post. I'm sorry I didn't get your post answered yesterday. Was gone most of the day, and last night we lost our power when I was just about to get to the thread again.

Since FR's Archive Search doesn't work worth a darn, I've been keeping all our threads archived in these Hall of Fame updates every 3 months. It's fun sometimes to go back and see some of the early ones. (And yes, we have come a long way in our presentations! YIKES! Some of the early ones are not all that!)

[Billie]

Hi, sistah! Thank YOU! You've been here the whole time - even with Poison Oak. :)

[Billie]

Comment # 5 removed by moderator./i>

Oh, gosh I hope it was just a duplicate and not a troll. :(

[ConorMacNessa]

Good morning, Billie - great thread!

[Billie]

LOL Thank you so much! Do you have any white. I have a pair of short to sew. ;) LOL HUGS!

LOL! I found that old post in one of the first threads I did! But go ahead and sew your white shorts with red thread and then put a flag on them! :)

[Billie]

Thanks, GeeBee! It makes it worth the time doing these links when I hear someone goes back and looks at some of the older ones. :)

[Billie]

What BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL pictures!!!

And, sistahs! Dibs on the Pearl Harbor pic with the flag! :)

[Billie]

Hey there! Thank you. Hope you'll have some time sometime to check out some of the older threads. Each Hall of Fame thread has about 3 months of daily threads linked!

[Diver Dave]

Mornin' Billie.

Four years, eh? This thread caused me to search through my bookmarked links for my first post when I signed on to FR. I don't have the time to scroll through 117 threads and 8,295 replies to find the first one, but I remember it like it was yesterday.

Actually it was July 4, '98. Someone posted a thread called Roll Call - asking vets to answer roll call. I'd been in lurker mode since the near beginnings of FR, but that thread really got to me and I signed up and the rest is history. Tuesday I will get promoted from newbie. :)

Wishing all a Wonderful weekend.

[Majie Purple]

# 4! Here's hopin' for many more! I just got to FR in 2006. But as soon as I entered through The Finest door I knew I'd check in daily for sure! 4 more years! 4 more years! 4 more years!& when the next 4 are done I'll say it again my FRiend...s 'cause we wouldn't want an end to all this fun!

[DollyCali]

That pearl harbor one is WONDERFUL for sure. I will use it also but NOT for a pledge... thank you Excuse for great pix. all of them wonderful

And Billie, this is a simply lovely thread! You put so much work into cataloging & organizing .. not to mention all the adorable logos

(that most TAKE FOR GRANTED!!!)

& wonderful graphics that you create. I'll bet most think you just copy past pix not realizing how you compile & create the lovely offering)

Thanks for making the Finest a great place to come & find refreshment for the soul. The past months my life has been in turmoil & I have not been able to participate as much in the chat as I would like, but I do read each thread & everyone's comments every day. And steal the appropriate pix along the way.

Now what is going on? Out of the 5 sistahs.. three of us have Poison "something".. Dutchess & DollyCali w/poison ivy & Billie with Poison Oak! Bummer. Is this one of the downsides of being a Finest Hostess? (watch out GeeBee & Amy!)

I am taking a quick indoor break.. doing heavy duty work outside again.. chain saw, garden work, weeding etc. Still chaos in basement & house ..soggy boxes strewn all over. Have air conditioning running 24/7 & several air purifiers in house to minimize the mold/mildew problems

[La Enchiladita]

I believe the USS Ronald Reagan is scheduled to return from its maiden voyage in the next few days.

Happy Homecoming in the works!

[Diver Dave]

Pledge graphic? You decide. For your viewing pleasure - USS RONALD REAGAN, USS KITTY HAWK, and USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN Carrier Groups. Photo from Navy website June 18, 06 from joint ops in Western Pacific...

[DollyCali]

That is a yummy picture BUT on my 13" screen I cannot see a flag.. sure there are many flying.

One of the requirements of a pledge graphic is the presence of a flag. Now we can "add" a flag.. or have various vignettes to accomplish..

but OK.. I will claim this one (first come, first serve?) and see what I can do with it... Some time after the 15th of July..

here is one that I added the flag .. it was LAST 4th July when I hi-lighted Ceegar Guy ... My flag "adding" techniques are quite tacky compared to what Lori & Billie can do..

[ConorMacNessa]

Nice pic, Diver.

OUR DAILY BREAD

July 2, 2006

The Cloud And The Spirit

READ: Exodus 13:17-22; 14:19-20

The Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way. —Exodus 13:21

The Lord led the children of Israel by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night (Exodus 13:21). Commentator Arthur Pink draws a significant parallel between this cloud in the wilderness and the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer.

Pink points out that just as the cloud was a gracious gift to the Israelites, so the Holy Spirit is a gift to the trusting child of God.

Jesus said, “I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper” (John 14:16). The pillar of cloud was provided to guide the children of Israel. So too, the Holy Spirit leads the Christian. Jesus said, “When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth” (16:13).

Even as the cloud remained with Israel in the wilderness, so Jesus promised that the Father would send the Spirit, who would “abide” with believers forever (14:16). Think of it! God Himself dwells within our hearts. We who know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord are temples of His Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19).

When we are led by the Spirit, our lives will be characterized by love, joy, peace, and self-control (Galatians 5:16,22-23). We will be effective witnesses for Christ as we travel through the wilderness of this world. —Richard De Haan

Blest Holy Spirit from above
With all Thy quickening powers
Come, shed abroad the Savior’s love
And that shall kindle ours.  —Watts

The power that compels us comes from the Spirit who indwells us.

Bible in One Year:  Job 22-24; Acts 11

For All Of Sunday's Finest


Little Lessons





I'm kind of small and very new to the scene
A cute, inquisitive ball of fur with eyes of blue-green
I'm on my very first trip Outside, you see
And I'm still a little too small to climb a tree
So, I'll make do by hiding in the curled and noisy leaves

I heard them last night whispering through the breeze
As I watched them fall like big snow flakes from the trees
Then swirl and spin across the ground with a most appealing rustling sound
Curiosity piqued, I went Outside before it started getting light
And was greeted with a most inviting and amusing sight
As the leaves were dancing wearily from their night long fight
I thought that if I could crawl and slide under them I just might

Be able to blend into the background and disappear from sight
I tested my idea as the Sun began to rise up into the trees
And kept very quiet and still when the Pretty One began looking for me
When she turned her back, it was a moment I just could not believe
So, now my best hiding place is in the falling leaves!

I know I don't say it much, but I just LOVE your kitty poems and the accompanying pictures.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

Dear God, who suffered
torment, agony and death upon the Cross
to free our souls from the chains of iniquity;
protect and defend our troops. Guide them in the
performance of their duties. Strengthen them to endure
hardship, danger and deprivation in Your service.
Let their efforts free the people of Iraq from the
chains of terror and slavery, foster a lasting peace in the region,
and bring all to a greater share in Your mercy. Amen.

[Jack Deth]

You're more than welcome, Allegra!

If you're over in The Sandbox and can't visit Dulcie and Finbar, it's my pleasure to bring a taste of Feline Frolics your way.

Stay safe.

Jack.
