  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Does anyone have ideas of what to give a soon-to-be Dad for Father's Day? I'm looking for ideas of what to give my husband. I'm not too keen on the typical "tie" or a "golf club" ideas. I'd like to give him something more meaningful for his first Father's Day. :)

    Dilemma...

    Thanks everyone. I ended up telling my boss, and he congratulated me, and in short, said that of course he still wanted to hire me.

    How to Forgive

    How do you forgive someone that isn't sorry for what they've done, and continues to hurt you in the same manner over and over again? I've come across this only a couple times in life, and really struggle with it. I have no problem with forgiving and forgetting when someone is apologetic or...

    Tips for the Newly Married

    What tips can we share with the newly married? They can be cliches, or things that you have learned in your marriage, such as: Never go to bed angry. Say "I love you" daily. Always put the toilet seat down. Have a "date night" with your husband/wife every week/month.
