• 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.

WOW! You can save a ton of suffering by doing this

I'm used to being a miserable person so I don't immediately recognize some voices as out of the ordinary. But after 24 hours of the same theme going around in the head, the dissatisfaction of the current state of things, I decided to simply observe the thought.

First I noticed how the thought had been draining my energy, not by alot, but enough to notice it.

Then I noticed what the thought was blocking me from recieving.

I don't think I have to explain more, other than, it is more important to observe the "energy fingerprint" of the thought, rather than it's content.

Shucks, I would tell the thought to be gone in Jesus Name - He paid a high price that we could have a clear peaceful mind.

Our mind is like a garden and what grows there is our call.

Get rid of the weeds and enjoy Him and His peace.
