• 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'm giving thanks that my son is coming to visit for a week. He's flying in from Nashville and plans to be here for my surgery. My daughter already lives here, so I'll have both children and my wife to cheer me along. Four of my five grandsons also live here. I'm looking forward to getting this done and behind me.

How nice that your family will be around you Tom, and trusting that all will go smoothly.:prayer:

I'll follow on from that thought and say that today I'm grateful for family: those who are around us and those who have gone, but who have played such an important part in our lives. :) Thank you Lord. :bow:

..and today I'm grateful for a lovely Sunday, and meeting with the Lord. When the weather gets better I plan to spring-clean the house. Today I think the Lord did some spring-cleaning in my soul, and it's let more of the "Sonlight" in! :D

Awesome news, Tom, that your family will be with you. It makes such a difference. So glad and I am grateful for all the staff who will take care of you. May God bless them all with much wisdom and guide them in all that they do.

Sounds lovely, MW. :)

I'm grateful that my brother's dog is going to be all right, after surgery today.

I was ready for anything, but I give thanks that God let me live. I'll try to use whatever extra time he has given me for Him.

My wife and I just celebrated our 44th wedding anniversary. I give thanks that she could put up with me this long.
