  • 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.

Sabbath

Add bookmark
As these last 14 months have come and gone, working, taking care of the family, the house, the issue of transportation...and the lack thereof for 7 months...and all of the other insanity that life has thrown at us this past year...I'm finally unplugging and getting away...in the process I've also realized something...

The Sabbath isn't just a holy day to spend in G-d's presence...though that is what you think of when you hear "Sabbath"...the day with the family to worship and bask in the rest of G-d's presence together...it also extends to a break from life itself...the time you take away to not be at work, and to just be with your family...spending time with the Blessings He's given, your spouse, your children, and the rest He provides during these "down" times.

This year we once again head out to my dad's place. Low tech capitol. No internet, No cell signal, No computers...just time with G-d, family, and the simple pleasures of watching deer on the pond dam, or hummingbirds at the feeders, the plants flourishing in the garden...and the summer breeze as moves across the top of the mountain.
Truly a High Place of rest and restoration ...
We leave Friday...so see ya in a couple weeks
