• 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.

What's on your mind?

I feel so worn out

I was worn out yesterday. I had worked 6 straight days. There was so much laundry. Then we celebrated a family member's birthday yesterday, which I wasn't looking forward to. I just wanted to be by myself and get some downtime.

Hopefully you'll feel refreshed soon!

I've been on a date - and I kid you not, it literally lasted two days. I'm not so much exhausted as I am puzzled as to how we've been able to make it last so long, and both walk away with such a successful story under our belts. She's from Taiwan and struggles with certain nuances of the English language, (in fact, her English crumbles away entirely at certain points) and I have the heaviest London accent you can imagine and constantly throw out British slang words that can even baffle fellow countryman.


That was date number four, so she's obviously enjoying whatever it is "we" are. I don't think what we are falls into a defined category - I'm too bonkers for a start, and she's bonkers by proxy for spending all of that time in my company.

I suppose meeting through our common interests helps a lot. Despite the obvious differences we're both essentially the same thread - we're just threaded through a different loop. If in doubt, revert back to the common ground. The international language of passion, so to speak.

When I was an Atheist my therapist once told me "no point killing yourself if you die anyway" and it's always stuck with me lol. But the real answer is that your Creator believes that existence isn't worth having without GodDoesListen55. His creation is not complete without you and if you ever doubt it remember that He specifically died for GodDoesListen55 so GodDoesListen55 can live with Him forever :heart: .

Wow, I really like that; thank you so much for your kind words and may God bless you always!

I was engaged in a lengthy chat with my coworker Mary earlier at work during a break and at one point she - perhaps absently - held a strand of hair with one hand while brushing along its length with the other. It was one of those cute actions that so many women do that I am often rather enchanted by :love:, on a level that probably many other guys would question why such a seemingly simple thing spellbinds me so much. ^_^
That's incredibly sweet!

Why the heck am I crying over videos that are meant to inspire you?!
Sometimes your heart is just too full. It's not always full of only bad stuff. Sometimes it's full of all kinds of things and feelings and emotions, and it just need a little venting through your eyeballs.

I felt miserable all day at work today. I think I'm just going to turn on Christian music or a sermon or something & just fall asleep

Sometimes sleep is best to simply escape a bad day.
