I think Jim had a hand in it too...
but he was clearly on a mission from God.
Yes.
Absolutely!
Jim’s work was God-directed for just this time. It’s a humbling thought.
Of course I’m thankful for FR, but I attribute it to Jim more than to God. That way I don’t get angry at God over allowing Humblegunner’s absurd and counterproductive behavior.
Then donate if you haven’t already
Wow.
Nice choice of a thread to be slamming someone.
Your comment reminds me of a story, at least good for a thread bump.
God Will Save Me
http://epistle.us/inspiration/godwillsaveme.html
A terrible storm came into a town and local officials sent out an emergency warning that the riverbanks would soon overflow and flood the nearby homes. They ordered everyone in the town to evacuate immediately.
A faithful Christian man heard the warning and decided to stay, saying to himself, “I will trust God and if I am in danger, then God will send a divine miracle to save me.”
The neighbors came by his house and said to him, “We're leaving and there is room for you in our car, please come with us!” But the man declined. “I have faith that God will save me.”
As the man stood on his porch watching the water rise up the steps, a man in a canoe paddled by and called to him, “Hurry and come into my canoe, the waters are rising quickly!” But the man again said, “No thanks, God will save me.”
The floodwaters rose higher pouring water into his living room and the man had to retreat to the second floor. A police motorboat came by and saw him at the window. “We will come up and rescue you!” they shouted. But the man refused, waving them off saying, “Use your time to save someone else! I have faith that God will save me!”
The flood waters rose higher and higher and the man had to climb up to his rooftop.
A helicopter spotted him and dropped a rope ladder. A rescue officer came down the ladder and pleaded with the man, “Grab my hand and I will pull you up!” But the man STILL refused, folding his arms tightly to his body. “No thank you! God will save me!”
Shortly after, the house broke up and the floodwaters swept the man away and he drowned.
When in Heaven, the man stood before God and asked, “I put all of my faith in You. Why didn't You come and save me?”
And God said, “Son, I sent you a warning. I sent you a car. I sent you a canoe. I sent you a motorboat. I sent you a helicopter. What more were you looking for?”
He sent us a website....why didn’t we support it!?!
Thank you very much, xzins!!
And if I can do it anyone can.
Am thankful that Jim and God have provided Free Republic, now let's finish this FReepathon by Thanksgiving!
.
Yes - Free Republic is a ministry from God. I was a shy lurker for too many years, starting when FR started, member now for a long time.
That’s why I’m a monthly supporter.
I’d encourage all to consider being a monthly supporter - if we had enough, there would be no need for Freepathons!
Thank you very much, hunblegunner!!
All good things come from God. We are simply His instruments.
