  • 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 want to watch my DVD! I was too sad to watch it last night but I want to watch it now!
I feel better but I want to date! I wish it wasn't so hard.
Do I really want to feel better? I'm still at square 1 (been that way since middle school)
I don't want to get better (my mood)
I'm tired of pretending everything's okay.
Ugh, I'm getting worse now.
My grandma just says you can meet one at work or church. She's no naive.

Hoping everyone has a blessed day!!! :hug:I am a little tired this morning, but am so happy the sunshine is out after all that snow!! :clap:
It seems like it snows every night! Every morning I wake up to snow!

12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! 13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

I'm supposed to be thinking of this. I wonder what 'a way out' means.

I think that's why it's so frustrating. God is so good but he's so silent on this.
Sorry for bringing a stormcloud into this thread everyone :(

You are not your thoughts or feelings. You are the observer who sees them. When they pass by, you don't have to hop on that train and ride it. Initially, it may be a reflex to jump on when they rocket by, but over time you will be able to have more control, to let them go passed you without being dragged into their negativity.

Well if it's the truth.....

I wish something wasn't wrong w/ me

I'm getting a lot of negative thoughts. I'd post them here but I don't want to rain on everybody's parade. Is this considered one of them?

Since the Fall & sin entered the world, maybe us being wired this way is a flaw. Sin made everything imperfect.
I struggle w/ that.
I read in a book by Max Lucado a good analogy. When you look up at the full moon, it's really bright. The thing about it is, the moon has no light of its own. It only reflects the greater light into a dark world. In the same way, we are the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). Our world may be full of imperfection and sin, but we have the Greater Light residing in us. We have the Holy Spirit and because of that, we have His fruits, which are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

There is hope. There is goodness. There is LIGHT! But we must, as my signature says, focus on those things. Don't give into the despair of being single or thinking your life has no purpose. He created everything in the universe, including you, and it ALL has a purpose.

As promised, I'm sorry for raining on everyone's parade here. I'm posting in the Depression section a lot of my bad thoughts now.
I don't believe wanting to be loved or wanting to love someone is a sin or a flaw. I think that is by design and that is God's design. God tells us to love. Plenty of examples through the entire bible.

There is also a part in the bible that says being alone is meaningless and misrable business and two is better tan one.

Ecclesiates 4: 8-11
There was a man all alone;
he had neither son nor brother.
There was no end to his toil,
yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.
“For whom am I toiling,” he asked,
“and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?”
This too is meaningless—
a miserable business!

Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?

It is possible to burn with passion and with passion like that it is also easier to sin. But marriage can take care of that. So again God covers all the bases. Again God saves us and takes care of our needs.

1 Corinthians 7:9
But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

Even if we are flawed by being wired this way. God knows it and we have God's blessing to get married.
Interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing all that. There's no doubt wanting to love & be loved is a good thing.

I read in a book by Max Lucado a good analogy. When you look up at the full moon, it's really bright. The thing about it is, the moon has no light of its own. It only reflects the greater light into a dark world. In the same way, we are the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). Our world may be full of imperfection and sin, but we have the Greater Light residing in us.

There is hope. There is goodness. There is LIGHT! But we must, as my signature says, focus on those things. Don't give into the despair of being single or thinking your life has no purpose. He created everything in the universe, including you, and it ALL has a purpose.
That's interesting how God created the sun & moon that way.

We are. I don't think online friends are the same tho. I don't mean that against you or anything or anyone else on here.


You two, seriously. Being for real, here. Not just making a joke like we always do around here about two people who talk together a lot in this particular community being a match made in Heaven or something, or taking thoughts of loneliness that you've posted before lightly. But have you considered each other romantically? Possibly dating? Just considering what you've each said in the past, especially like when DragonFox mentioned the other day that you were texting personally back and forth (I assume you meant elsewhere when you said that, Dragon, not just here in WYOM or even CF in general). I mean, hey, why not give it a shot?:angel:

It's like knowing a real-life forest elf princess from fantasy fiction right here with us, CF singles compatriots. ^_^
Oh on, you found me out! ^_^

Somber's true form =>

anime-girls-deedlit-elven-record-of-lodoss-war-wallpaper-preview.jpg



Also please consider joining up as a voice actress for one of the minor characters that I came up with in our game Arc Arath should it ever be turned into a sword-and-sorcery fantasy anime series - Sun Maiden Ulanda, Moon Maiden Alhana, or Star Maiden Kekule - who are all keepers of the signature forest region of the game, @Somber. ^_^

(Yes, for anyone here who is a Final Fantasy fan and rightfully sees the ninth installment as the best in the entire franchise, the Sun, Moon, and Star Maidens are a deliberate reference to that game. ^_^ )

Final Fantasy IX = Best game of all time. Perhaps tied only with Chrono Trigger.

DragonFox91 is not open to dating anyone from a different state. And I don't think he likes me in that way lol. ^_^^_^^_^^_^
