• 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.

  • 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.

What's on your mind?

I'm doing a garage routine right now...car batteries and spare tires...and a little isometrics and push-ups.

I rode down to the synagogue I plan on attending next week to see how the trip is. It's a good 6 miles-piece of cake.

I haven't gnashed my teeth in a while and I'm not sure if it's worth watching Midsommar for that. First impressions being just that, I really hated the movie; perhaps because it felt like an anti-Wicker Man, where at least, there was a Christian martyr; instead we get YeAh It WaS sHoCkInG bUt Im TrYnA kEeP aN oPeN mInD. At the very least I feel I should watch Hereditary and Midsommar back to back because they seemed like perfect companions, the male and female sides of, largely the same story. I still haven't been able to discuss this idea with anyone because everyone's focusses on how Midsommar is such a great feminst power yarn.

Sounds interesting...first time hearing about it.

She's ... taken.:puff:

Well, as I said a few days ago, however lightheartedly, a lovely girl such as her is not likely to go unescorted for too long. And I meant that, thus I should have been better prepared for this punch to the gut. Ah, well, I will just have to step back and be smitten from afar. Not to intentionally make it sound sinister or anything, but I am used to being the guy walking in the shadows at the edges of the life of the girl he adores. ^-^ It's happened once before, and I came out just fine with no personal regrets. :cool1: I will simply continue to like her from afar but keep my feelings on the down-low so as not to be a bother to her, for however long my feelings are meant to last. :idea1: It is my understanding that this other man is the same person she'd been seeing for several years, practically since being children, so I would certainly have no right to expect or demand that she choose me over him. .... I think I am at peace with this.:hrelax:

That stinks. :(

Won’t date a LeBron fan! Loves the Original 23 and KD too! :D

Hey, if and when (it looks like), he gets us (LA) that 18th championship (to lead the league)...I'm a fan!

If you call him the GOAT you’re going on the prayer wall!

Nah, he hasn't passed Kobe in my mind.

*He has to get two more rings to be in that convo.

I finally decided to go for it; I'm currently watching Hereditary. I haven't watched a horror film in a while and I am appreciating its slowburn arthouse tone and Toni Collette's acting is so driven as to be terrifying.

I picked up a few titles with Audible credits. I added another dramatized bible. I love listening when I’m doing things around the house or resting. And I grabbed The Spiritual Man by Watchman Nee. I read it a few years ago. It was so meaty! I’m looking forward to revisiting it.
