A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....12-04-06....Military Monday

Billie, The Mayor

[La Enchiladita]

I am in the L.A. area and, sorry, I don't know if that is a magnet. I just snagged it as a gif.

So, where and when do you convene?

[StarCMC]

Thanks for always inviting me! :-)

[oneamericanvoice]

Great work, Bob!

I too have that feeling, and my voice is loath to be so still, so I take it to the corner where our critics know nothing of quiet or respect.

We can be silent no longer! For as our bravest stand on the front lines countering a evil who so fervently wants our destruction, we must stand against the those within who so vociferously back that enemy.

[oneamericanvoice]

Darn. It would make a great magnet. If you ever see it....

Great! The rally is every Friday night. 6pm to about 7:45 (or whenever the Lefties leave). Then we go out for dinner.
Studio City, SE corner of Ventura Blvd at Laurel Canyon in front of the First Republic Bank. Parking in back of Long's. We have signs and flags, but if you want to bring your own, please do so. The opposition is usually 30+ of the Neighbors For Peace & Justice, and friends. They're fairly benign just standing there singing old hippie protest songs, which is perfect since they are either old hippies, offspring of old hippies, or kids being indoctrinated into the Left. Ed Asner came out for their 4th anniversary. Yick! We definitely need the help as it is only Mac and I now. If you can come we'd love to have you join us! This is one of, if not the oldest rallies in the southland. Hope to see you there!

Take care!

Beautiful, Mayor..Thank you for military Monday.

[Billie]

Good evening, Mayor. Thank you again and again for always being here with our weekly tribute to Freepers and their loved ones who serve this great country of ours so selflessly. We are deeply indebted to all who put their own lives in danger for our safety and our freedom.

This is the time of year I would implore all FReepers who post or pass on the Christmas Poem to ensure it is the original version. You've all seen it. The one by a Marine in Okinawa. If the word "soldier" appears anywhere in the poem, it is a bastardized version that is insulting to the author and to all Marines. So please make sure you pass on the original version. It can be found at www.snopes.com

Scared To Death

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: MP3

READ: 1 Corinthians 15:51-58

Our Savior Jesus Christ . . . abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. —2 Timothy 1:10

The opening line of a country song, “Sarabeth is scared to death . . . ,” leads the listener into the fearful heart of a teenage girl who is diagnosed with cancer. The lyrics of  “Skin (Sarabeth)” expose the struggles she faces, not only with the disease and its treatment but also with the obvious evidence of her struggle—the loss of her hair (hence, the title). It is a touching song of triumph in the midst of tragedy, as Sarabeth deals with the understandable life-and-death fears that cancer brings.

The specter of death is faced by every human being. Yet, whether we face that reality with fear or with confidence is not dependent on having a good outlook or a positive attitude. The way we face death depends completely on whether or not we have a personal relationship with Jesus, who gave Himself to die so that death itself could be abolished.

Paul wrote to Timothy that our Savior was the One who “abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel” (2 Tim. 1:10). The result is that even in the most disturbing times of life, we never need to be scared to death.

We can live confidently and filled with hope, because Jesus conquered death. —Bill Crowder

Your love, O God, would spare no pain
To conquer death and win;
You sent Your only Son to die
To rescue us from sin.  —M. Gustafson

Because Christ is alive, we need not fear death.

Bible in One Year:   Ezekiel 47-48; 1 John 3

[The Mayor]

Excellent, Thank you.

[The Mayor]

Mornin Meg.

[The Mayor]

It's the least I can do Billie. The best way to start the week is reminding everyone about our Military Hero's and the struggle they have to face this coming week.

[The Mayor]

Thanks

[Diver Dave]

Excellent serving of Our Daily Bread, Rus.
I'll be busy today with Logan playing with his new toys. Now that the countdown to his birthday is complete, we'll start the countdown to Christmas. 21 Days and counting.

[DollyCali]

Good morning Rus, all... I always have enjoyed reading about Patton & the movie of the same title is one of my favorites. Wouldn't you love to hear how Patton would address the lame stream media? How he would support the troops? I would!!!

Praying for our brave men & women.

Have a great day all. Snowing here in Ohio. ugh!

[stopem]

Good Morning.

What a touching photo.

We are winning in Iraq thanks to our Finest Military!!
Regardless of the propaganda on the news, gee wonder why we don't get to see photo's like this one......(sarcasm)

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

You Go God! Bless those Iraqis! And bless and watch over our military and civilians serving overseas.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Thank you, Mayor.

The National WWI war museum opened this Saturday in K.C., MO.

On December 2, 2006, the National World War I Museum will open the window to an extraordinary emotional and intellectual experience.Envisioned by the people of Kansas City, designed by Ralph Appelbaum, and designated by Congress as the nation’s official WWI Museum, the new state ofthe art complex at Liberty Memorial uses highly-interactive technology to bring history to life, and to foster timely discussions of ethics, values, decision making and conflict resolution.

(I have no idea who wrote that last part, but it is K.C., a democratic/liberal stronghold.)
