• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

It's a mystery to me too. I prefer watching gymnastics (my daughter has been in gymnastics for 10 years now!).
Gem just started a "big girls" gymnastics class this week. She's been in the pre-school classes, but this is for 6-10 year olds. She'll be six in April. She's the tiniest thing there, but the teacher says she's fearless, and a joy. So we're encouraging her.

No, I'm not technically a 'Brit'. I've lived most of my life in California. My Grandfather was British and my Mum spent a lot of time in London, Canterbury, and Cheshire in her teenage years. Hence, the influence.
No, I don't confuse American Football with Soccer. Actually, I'm kind of gormless about Soccer as well. Sports never were my thing. My High School had these enforced 'Spirit Rallys'. As soon as I found out I could opt out and study in the library, that nonsense was history for me! It was total silliness.:p I'll take a good book thank you. Now, if anyone wants to make a team up and actually play the game, fine. But to sit there a few hours whilst someone else has a good time out on the field? Puh-leeze!:doh: C-ya!:wave: I've got much better things to do.

Give Gem a Hi five for me, Synger. Tiny is good in gymnastics. When I hit six feet the coach kicked me out.

She didn't tell you - a soda can took a huge chunk of flesh out of my left ring finger - still hurts, but hasn't been bleeding since Friday evening when I put on Neosporin ($10 at the gift shop!) and a bandage.

Another nice thing was that both head coaches are good friends.

Yep, I had been hearing for a few days about the coaches. They are not afraid to praise God. I liked it that Dungy said something to the effect that God will give them the ability to play well, not the God wanted us to win so we won type speech we usually hear.

I was glad the Colts won. Dallas Clark is from this area (less than 30 miles from me) and came from small town. It is neat to see a local boy in a game like this.
