Why "people" hate Trump. It goes so much deeper than that he has been married more than once, that he has said some rude things about women in the past, that he has an "attitude" that rubs people the wrong way, and has tweeted some things even he has come to realize were not good. It is more...

The True Info on Covid-19 by a Medical Expert. Of all the videos I have seen this year, I would hope that this one is the one that goes "Viral" far beyond all the rest. It was posted on Youtube and I hope it enlightens the world, and counteracts all the wrong and politically motivated...

When my daughters were growing up, they would often hear me sing the song "He's Alive" at Easter time. Seeing they are both grown and have been out on their own and miles away for a number of years now, they have not been hearing my version of this song. My oldest daughter requested that I...

Seeing and hearing a recorded prayer on this site regarding bullying, responding to it, and both fearing my response may be deleted, and also wanting others to see my response, I copy it to this blog. Father, after listening to the recording of the prayer above, THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST PRAYERS...

I woke up this morning thinking along a particular line, and so wrote it down in the back of my Bible, and thought I would also share it here. Live the Christian life and read the Bible, not just to endure the troubles in this life, not just to get by, not just to obtain blessings in this...

As I think of all the passwords that I have been asked to create for various things since I started using computers, I wish I had known I would have been running into this need to keep thinking up new passwords from the start. "Different" passwords are hard to remember, and somewhat unsafe to...

I don't usually back Catholics, but I thought I would pass this along for those on CF. This is an excellent video made by high school students who don’t say a word ... From a Catholic High School (Archdiocese of Hartford, CT) in response to a Senator's remark about "Where is God in all the...

My CF alerts now tell me there are over 320 blogs I have not read. Well I just read one, and it stimulated me to write this one entitled "So Who is to Say Who is Right or Wrong?" Someone writes about "the five solas". They talk about Catholics, they talk about Protestants, and say they are...

I wonder if the same "Christians" that are criticizing President Trump spend as much time praying for him as they do criticizing him. I have read in 1 Timothy 2:1-3 how that praying for those in authority is to be done by Christians and that this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our...

I put a prayer request on the CF prayer wall regarding an upcoming on-line discussion. I have put an update on my request, and said I would post what the first evolutionist to respond had to say, and my response. I am feeling good about how this has started, with the first four responders...

When I first came on CF I would see that "alert number" of all the blogs I hadn't read yet, and want to read them and get rid of that number, or get it way down. Lately, I have just let that number rise to 76. I am reading very few blogs currently. The division among the writers/responders...

Have you ever seen those maps (at a zoo, at a mall, at a national park, etc.) that say "You are here! and then have an arrow point to your location on the map? Sometimes we need to find out where we are. Sometimes we just find it interesting to see where we are. Have you ever thought about...

This is the third, and final blog that I am moving from one of my 5 blog categories to another. As I read about President Trump giving the commencement speech at Liberty University here in 2017, and about the interview later regarding him, the university, and Jerry Falwell. It reminds me of the...

This is the second of three blogs I am moving from one of my 5 Blog Categories to another. As I write, it is Easter morning, 2017. Many people will say today "Happy Easter." Many others, though less in comparison, will say "Happy Resurrection Day." What may come to mind with the first is...

This is one of 3 posts I am moving from one Blog Category of mine to another to reorganize that Category. On the eve of this 4th of July I wanted to share something with you that recalls some real fireworks, some real bombs bursting in air. I will give you the link at the end of this message...

I have found myself reading less and less of the blogs on this site, but I just came across a line in a blog of one of my favorite writers on this site. "the only anger that is justified is when we are angry at the injustices suffered by other people." Now that sounds good, sounds...

If you have ever read a Gideon's Bible, you may have come across these words: THE BIBLE contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its...

It seems to me that I have been on CF for a long time, and yet it has only been a little over three months!! I have been blessed, and have been told that I have been a blessing. As I continue to read some other blogs, I am grieved this morning that so much time and effort has been put in by...

[Staff edit] If God has gone to all the trouble to remove our sins, with the Second Person of the Trinity leaving His home in heaven, to be born then laid in a feeding trough, live a virtual life of poverty, sweating blood in dread of becoming the world's sin bearer, be ridiculed, spat upon...

I just heard a song on one of the threads here saying "I'm only human, don't put the blame on me." We have heard the first part of this phrase a lot, as well as "We are all human, we all make mistakes." Yes that is true, but let's not use that as a cop-out or as an excuse, setting us up or...
