• 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 is currently on your mind?

The older I become.. the more I understand how important weather is.
This is true. When I was young I barely gave a thought to the weather. Nowadays I feel it somehow matters, although I can't intellectually analyze why it should. Reminds me of the lines from that Randy Travis song:

As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men

Well you aren’t ready for the nursing home yet. Losing some of that youthful angst kind of resets priorities. Not always a bad thing.

Yeah. I feel much more calm than I was when I was younger. I think I've always been a little immature for my age.. and many people experience it sooner.. but it's nice.

Currently I'm trying to work a lot on myself... question previous thought patterns... I feel like age has really helped me do this. All you can really do.. is try to be better.

I'm not sure old age lets us off the hook for cultivating virtue. I suspect one never stops being presented with new situations in which to learn to love those around us...

Ahh! Any student of Freud could tell you that means you're a homosexual.

Could it be that that there is something you cannot put your finger on?

Personally, I just think dreams are mostly gibberish. I don't put much stock in them revealing my subconscious or whatever. Even if my mind is locking onto something, I don't think it has any deep message behind it. I'm just a guy afraid of bugs.
