• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Do you have a best friend?

I have 3 best friends.

One is from highschool, one if from college, and the other is my SO, who I have been best buds with before we started to date.

I have 2 other very close friends who know me and I share almost everything with.

I have a best friend who moved to Del Rio (we are about 15 hours apart)... cry...

I wish I was better at developing close relationships because I miss that nearness of my best friend (we have been friends for 16 years)
My mom's best friend of 30 yrs moved to Del Rio and then on to Uvalde. It's hard but I think that's why cell phones were invited. They talk constantly.

I think it's horrid that my best bud is moving 20 mins from me.

I think your all very blessed. In my life I've met few that have best friends, usually the ones that do are pretty neat people too. Giving, good at listening and just being a friend. I wish I had one (I've had them short term), but so is life, not everyone does. Hmmm..Maybe when I'm married:) In Christ, sampa

My Christian brother Ed, next to my wife being my absolute best friend.

He is a loving, silly, highly intelligent guy who loves the Lord. He just went through a divorce and my heart aches for him, been there two until I met my wife. I just tell him go out there and do what he does best, bring people to Christ. His soon to be ex-wife doesn't know what she is missing!

My Bestest Friend and I have known each other for 36 years. Met when we were just 2 yrs. old and I moved in two houses away from her. I could not get by without her.Actually, we consider one another sisters as we both only have brothers. We accept one another 100% and she is my sister in Christ as well!!

I have a co-worker who was senior to me on our team, we're really close. We keep losing team-mates in the other two slots . . . but we hang in, say we'll quit if the other one does.

My best semminary buddy, called him today to freak about losing another team-mate & stressing over pregnancy hormones & life chaos.

Two overseas -

One in Uganda, hope to retire to where he does ministry now.

One in Pakistan, living in the house he had to leave behind . . . good deal for both of us, I have baby on the way . . . he needed to get rid of a house in a hurry.
