  • 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.

Patience ...this is so cute!!!!!!!! I just love it!

Theres has never been a commercial that has made the biggest impact on me like this one, I figured I could find it online because if it touched me in the way it did I was certain others were (somehow) touched as well.

I have seen it before, I'm on a dial up right now so I cant watch it again, I just caught that it was listed at youtube so I figured to post it. Please tell me its the same one! ^_^

I was telling someone here about it privately and thought I'd post it. Im sure many here have seen it, it always brings this HUGE smile to my face I just loved it, maybe it might bring more smilies? Heck, I think we need something like this here ^_^ I mean so often we might lose our patience with folks and somehow this sorta puts it into perspective for me.

Just wanted to bless

YouTube - Wet Cement

I can watch this over and over again lol (need to hop on my other puter, this dial up wont cut it lol)

Neat commercial.

At first the guy looked like he could bury the kid in the cement!

^_^ But thats why its so cute too, it speaks of our need for patience and how tribulation (itself) worketh patience^_^

I was discussing with someone here about our need for tolerance and patience, and how parents themselves are imparted those very qualities through children. Those who have children learn this through them the best I think. Especially when they are your own, you know they didnt do a thing (like walking through the cement) with a malice forethought and sometimes they "get in the way" when you are trying to accomplish something and there they are with peanut butter all over the walls or footprints through the cement making more work for you ^_^

I just though this was so cute, the older is learning patience (a godly quality) through the younger and how much more important that is then the sidewalk (although we might dare to differ when we look at all our labor putting together that sidewalk) lol

Theres a sorta "equally out" between young and old even in Christ, the older bearing up with the failings of the weak, how we behave toward them, them sometimes being a kind of trial to our own character revealed in a time that could very well mirror this. I thought this commercial was great, it sorta drove that home for me.

Yeah... he was holding back! ^_^ THAT TOO was precious! Almost like seeing what he was made of in the face of something like this (A Child!)

Too sweet I tell ya ^_^

God sends those patience testers indeed !!!

Yep! ^_^ A sort of blessing disguised in a little rascal huh? ^_^

Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

At least we know if we pray for patience expect some "trying" in the developement of it

... "I knew not what I asked for"?^_^

Shouldn't a kid that age be told not to do that....even if he is told patiently?

Maybe its the neighbors child and his mother was posting on GT all day and had no idea the neighbor put down a new side walk:p

I hadnt noticed though (had you?) Did the man in the commercial have it taped off at all?? I cant recall noticing that or not?

If not, He should be told ^_^
