• 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.

I could handle the fasting much better than the celibacy!! ROFL!!! :p

How do you guys fast... I couldn't do it. I can't abstain from a thing. Then again I've been celibate for years, so the Lord will count that in.

Oh isn't food wonderful again :)

There's a barbecue at my Confessor's house today after our English language DL

Hope my voice will last out for this one - I've sung far more than ever before ! Till now I've always helped him - this time I've taken on far more of the chant as an active 'thing'

Pork butt and smoked lamb at the picnic. Never had smoke lamb before and it was wonderful.

Someone asked me what my favorite food of the picnic was. I said the salad (it was strawberries, spiced pecans, spinach, a strong cheese, and strawberry vinagarette). She looked at me like I was crazy, LOL.

But seriously, I usually don't like salad unless I make it myself (love spinach and dark lettuce, hate iceberg lettuce), so it really was my favorite part!

Oh, the things that I ate! I think I ate a representative sample from every member of the animal kingdom.... Sheep, chickens, cows, pigs....

My feet hurt! I'm dizzy from lack of sleep! My stomach is in an uproar! It must be Pascha!
