  • 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.

Thankful!

I thankful that I'm alive today with a new outlook.
I had a depressive episode last night(as a result of bipolar II disorder). I can't remember when last I had one and it was really depressing to feel so lost and hopeless. And for no other reason than chemicals reacting or rather not reacting in my brain.
It's a rough road emotionally for me but God's still awesome and I know that there's nothing that will happen to me that I can't deal with - He's equipped me for that.
I'm thankful that I feel a lot better right now even though my eyes are swollen from crying. I'm Thankful that my family is safe and taken care of. I'm thankful for support even at midnight and people who care enough to stay up with me until I fall asleep.
I'm thankful that He loved me so much He gave me people to love and who love me.
I'm thankful that I can now see myself the way I am and not be clouded by depression. I love me again.

The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace. --Psalms 29:11

I needed that last night, as I have so many times before and He met me at that point.
