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.

I never knew that it snowed in Texas. 
This year we only got a little bit, mostly rain. The weather is really crazy anymore. I remember when I was a kid our area getting lots of snow.

I never knew that it snowed in Texas.
Yes, it does snow, sometimes although rarely. It continues...hopefully it won't be too bad when I go to pick up my teens.
Oh the joys of having teenagers...I love them dearly, but I am finding myself challenged.
First of all, because I am now a confirmed side-seat driver, with a severe case of "telling the driver what to do." This because I taught my 17-year-old to drive last summer. We have graduated licenses here, and he doesn't have his own car yet, so he continues to drive with me...
Now I find that I am also guilty of giving him BAD ADVICE. The juniors took their TAKS test in Texas yesterday. Last year my son froze because he thought the test question was too personal and difficult. It was something like, "Write about how someone in your life helped you get to your 'secret place.'"
Well, when I dropped my son off at school yesterday, I told him, look, if the essay question is too difficult or personal again this year, just make something up and run with it.
So, my dear child did just that. The question asked him to talk about someone who helped him overcome a problem in his life.
So my darling son wrote that he used to be a drug addict, and that he had a friend who tried to tell him not to take drugs, and then one day when he was stoned out of his mind he was walking in the middle of the street and his friend saw a bus coming and shouted and then knocked him out of the way--and then was killed. And as a result, wrote this essayist, he no longer takes drugs....
Sometimes I wonder how I manage to give such bad advice...
I also wonder how long it will be until I get a call from the counselor at school inquiring as to my son's drug history....:o

Back! Found Flat...he's hard to find recently...
I hope you all have a great evening.
btw--my son, the one I wrote about--has never done drugs or alcohol, or even smoked. He goes to an honor high school, and to church with us every Sunday. He worries about his friends who are not saved....
And obviously a career as a soap opera script writer now seems possible....
AI YAI YAI YAI YAI!!!
