  • 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.

Second Week

Add bookmark
Things are still moving forward.

There have been some hiccups this past week though. Not with anything in my current relationship or with my current goals.

I was notified on Thursday from Child Protective Services that there had been a report filed against my ex dealing with my two children. I'm working to set up a meeting to get more details on the report and to figure out what is going on. I also learned that the person she is now living with (and who my kids are living with now) was arrested in September 2017 for child endangerment. My mom was actually the one to discover that little detail. Suffice to say that was a lot to take in all at once.

My finacee and I were planning to work on our relationship before we went after full custody of my two kids. However, these little details have changed our plans. I have a meeting with a different lawyer on Monday, as we both feel that my current lawyer is not doing enough -- and seems to keep dragging his feet on everything.

Enough about the negative things.

I am continually doing the devotional each day -- twice a day. Looking to add more into this so I can get more out. I think I'm going to get some Christian books and start reading them during my lunch break at work. Small steps to get my feet moving in the right direction.

For the other goal -- I've been doing my 30 day workout plan each and every day. I just need to pick up my steps during the other times. I find that I just sit at my desk at work. I need to get up more and walk around to get some more steps in.

This week was an up and down week -- especially in learning the details about where my kids are currently living. I think that I've dealt with it quite well. It's hard -- I'm trying to remember Ephesians 4:29, but sometimes I just want to say something.

Hopefully after my meeting on Monday with the new lawyer things will be more in perspective.
