• 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.

Yesterday was my cousins funeral and then after that and lunch my hubby we went to this shop that sells a ton of various concrete statues and figurines. I had a larger sized Blessed Mother statue but it was too big. (Also, I‘d left the church for a while). I wanted something smaller and this place had the perfect sized Mary for me. Now she is watching over our house.

The place I bought her can paint them for the customer but I wanted mine without. IMO, the paint they use isn’t very pretty.
Oh! I have one just like that I put on my fireplace mantle. It was in bad shape but I did more of a texture and stain on it. I’ll take a picture so you can see.
