  • 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.

Spent the end of last week in the doctor's office...... the news was not the best in the world but I still count it as a blessing and good news.

1. high BP can be monitored and controlled with meds only on them since friday night and already I can feel a difference. I have more energy than I have had in a long time.

2. Weight............groan if you look at my profile picture you will see I am not a tiny guy. My precious beautiful wife has lost nearly 50 pounds and she is my encouragement to lose.
I was startled to learn that I had balloned up to around 306. I thought I was somewhere around 275 but wow was I wrong! Good news is I have already lost 6 pounds.....I know, I know it is water weight but It is a start.
For a man my age and height I am supposed to weigh around 176......... come on, i think i was in the 7th grade when I weighed that last LOL. I played football in HS and worked out pretty regularly. My wieght then was 225. I figure if I can get from 300 to 230 I will feel a LOT better. My wife says I may be able to preach for an hour or more LOL.

3. My heart is enlarged. they say with the wieght coming off, and the BP coming down that it will reduce, that and me continuing to use my CPAP machine. Good to be a hosehead LOL


You know, looking at all of this I could choose to ignore the warnings of my doctor and try to make it however....I dont think that is the wisest thing in the world to do.

If I want to be of any good to the kingdom and if I want to be around for my family then I need to do everything that I can to improve my quality of life
