• 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?

Same. No rain here for longer than I can remember. There's a pond down the street from me that I take walks past, and it's typically full and brimming with life; ducks, geese, frogs. It's almost entirely dry now. Just a sad puddle in the bottom. All the wildlife has left. Please, God, make it rain already!
I love it when the wildlife comes out! :D

I was sitting outside, meditating, you might say, & was listening to a conversation. The people started talking about how someone they guessed was a Christian picked them up when they ran out of gas. They said the Christian probably would've killed them if he found out they weren't. Of course I didn't say anything. Despite wanting to see the Spirit move, I still have a spirit of cowardness.

I’m trying to eat less. Not b/c no appetite & not b/c I’m depressed. But b/c it’s a way of humbling myself. It’s easy to be selfish always eating what you want & when you want it.
Just struggling, mentally and emotionally.
God probably trying to pull you closer.

I’ve decided I’m going to get Nintendo Switch. I’d rather not, b/c I find video games distracting, but my friend really wants me to get one so we can play Pokemon on it together. Not sure how much I'll play it, but whatever.

Great choice. It's my favorite gaming console. I play it a lot more than my PS5.

I'd highly recommend getting Animal Crossing, especially if you like Stardew Valley.

What about Mario Kart 8? It is a very game where you are Mario, and you ride around on a go-kart. Took the Japanese years to come up with this idea.

You're surely not going to turn a game like this down?
