  • 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.

    You can support places like Bring me Hope which is a camp for orphans (where my BIL met my new 12 year old nephew!) or Hope for the Hungry where you can support orphans in Haiti.

    I'm Adopted - would like to see how a birthmother feels

    As a mother, I can almost guarantee you that not a day goes by that she doesn't think about you! You never forget one that grew inside of you.

    Why do you believe in God?

    For me, just looking around this beautiful earth, how can I not believe in Him. How can it all just happen by chance. Why be able to see color, or taste food? Why have the desire to create, think, or wonder? To think that we here by accident such a sad thought. The thought of living without...
