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 to Warm Fuzzy Wednesday at the Finest. For those who start counting the days on Monday until the weekend, we're halfway there! So we're here to banish those doldrums and make you smile inside! Please feel free to post sweet graphics and/or little stories that make you feel all warm and fuzzy - or just come by and give us a smile. Only two more days 'til the weekend!

Hi, Dave - I really am in awe of you and Lori and others who grow and photograph such beautiful roses!

Photographer's notes and a link to other photos:
More pictures
Thick-tipped Greta (Greta morgane) female.
December.2004.."A very special image here, it was a first US record of the species and first record in 100 years since any members of its family has been seen in the US. I found it and it made the cover (above the fold) of the local newspaper and again the cover (below the fold!"

I recall I could not find this information when you did the beautiful butterfly thread, Dolly. I just happened on it last week.

[Billie]

You can see it? Your butterfly? Yes, I did see it - I was wondering if you were talking about "My" graphic, which I realized just now didn't post. :(

I put the wrong folder name in my post. Try again - I fixed it. :) Actually, I even typed the height of the picture wrong, so that it's 'squatty'! But anyway, this is what it *should* look like:

[MEG33]

You can't!..not if you delete it..You can put it back in photobucket after you delete it using exact name of the original to photobucket and it will show up again in your post ..but you must leave it in photobucket to make it permanent.

Boy, all the kids have the munchies today!

LOL! I think that puppy is getting a worse deal than the kitty's tail earlier!

[Diver Dave]

How about some pink ones?...

[Billie]

I like these even better! BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Here is the thread: Butterflies the Pretty Bugs

So many visited that day & I had graphics coming out of my ears to post.

Our maggie(lady X) posted, Freema did her FIRST graphic post, Mama_bear told me it was my prettiest thread ever(I didn't send her money anyway),Bob posted a thread & MaMa graphic, Jemian told me about Butterflies being territorial (I didn't know that, fine entomologist I am), I posted my pix of the butterfly conservatory at Stan Hywet House, and everyone posted LOTS of great graphics

It is so much fun going back over threads.. the sad thing is seeing screen-names that you rarely see as they have become busy with other things, been banned, passed to God's thread in Heaven, etc.

One side note re: Maggie. Note my butterfly pledge, which I did for this thread. I had left the word indivisible off (have done that several times,..she says hanging her head in shame).. Maggie Emailed me a note ...mild chastisement as only Maggie could do in her loving way.etc.

I was ever so grateful, that is embarrassing! SO as Billie had just taught me that I could change & reload my pix if I kept the same screen-name, that is what I did. WE caught it early & no many saw or noticed it.

Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne.
Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King through all eternity.

Crown Him the virgin’s Son, the God incarnate born,
Whose arm those crimson trophies won which now His brow adorn;
Fruit of the mystic rose, as of that rose the stem;
The root whence mercy ever flows, the Babe of Bethlehem.

Crown Him the Son of God, before the worlds began,
And ye who tread where He hath trod, crown Him the Son of Man;
Who every grief hath known that wrings the human breast,
And takes and bears them for His own, that all in Him may rest.

Crown Him the Lord of life, who triumphed over the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife for those He came to save.
His glories now we sing, Who died, and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die.

Crown Him the Lord of peace, Whose power a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end, and round His piercèd feet
Fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet.

Crown Him the Lord of love, behold His hands and side,
Those wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified.
No angel in the sky can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright.

Crown Him the Lord of Heaven, enthroned in worlds above,
Crown Him the King to Whom is given the wondrous name of Love.
Crown Him with many crowns, as thrones before Him fall;
Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns, for He is King of all.

Crown Him the Lord of lords, who over all doth reign,
Who once on earth, the incarnate Word, for ransomed sinners slain,
Now lives in realms of light, where saints with angels sing
Their songs before Him day and night, their God, Redeemer, King.

Crown Him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou has died for me;
Thy praise and glory shall not fail throughout eternity.
