  • 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.

Slow Fade

It’s a slow fade, when you give yourself away…
Or when you dissolve into the despair in yourself. It fades pretty quickly then.
Metaphorically, I am driving in an ice storm, there’s black ice everywhere, its pitch black in the dead of night and there are flurries of snow mixed with the tumultuous fog and glistening pavement, going faster and faster, uncertain of what lies in front of me, just waiting to crash.
Its all a matter of time, everything is time. Timing this, timing that. It’s all time. Now, it has come down to a matter of time, just waiting, until the times comes…
I just keep waiting for things to change, standing on a prayer, slipping off, trying to cling to some semblance of normalcy to the outside. Why does God stay silent? Why did He give me something for my ambition which had to be used for something else? Why was it not ‘enough’? I am so tired, dear Lord, hear me now, I am so tired.
