  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It really pains me to think about how few people I have trust for. There’s really only one person I have complete trust with. And I feel blessed to have that while also sad that I do not have that with others in my life. I think there are sort of different levels of trust. For instance, you...
Recently I was on Facebook responding to a friend and I mentioned to them that I was about to take a hot soak to try and ease my back pain. I said to them “make sure I don’t drown”. (I fall asleep in the tub sometimes). Later on, someone on their friends list, who also knows (but doesn’t like)...

I really didn’t know where to put this as a thread, so I just put it as a blog. But I am looking for responses. I’ll try to be brief. Two weeks ago I made contact with my father through email after 23 years of nothing at all. Long story short, my dad had tried unsuccessfully to find me. See, my...

Its been a long time since I’ve blogged. I decided to this morning because there is a lot on my mind. Gather round everyone whilst I tell you a story...(lol) Recently I made contact with my father. It’s been twenty three years since we have seen each other or had any contact whatsoever. I know...
Its 4 am where I am. And I'm up because I just had a dream unlike any other I've ever had. It left an impression on me. So the blog "processing" seemed a good place to make this entry. Anyway... the dream starts in this grand department store. Its dark, for some reason, which dream-me even made...
Oh lots to process. Lots of questions. Im debating whether or not to discuss anything that's going on with me in group today. I attend a "life balance workshop" on Thursdays at the community college. It's basically a two-hour-long group therapy session. But we get a $25 gift card for attending...

In one of my blogs I describe a moment I had walking into school ( I can't recall the title so if you want to know what I'm talking about I guess you'll have to go back and read all of them. A shameless plug? Perhaps.) in this moment I suddenly saw things differently. Instead of cars, I saw what...
