  • 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

    Remembering Dan.

    I'm so sorry. I will erase my posts if I need to. I know this was a special thread for the mature singles b/c Dan had bonded w/them his last few days here. I don't like for it to have to moved.

    Remembering Dan.

    You all are so sweet. I will try to plan a short camping trip as you suggested and see how it goes. It's a great idea to tell my kids we are doing it as a gift to Katie and the boys. We went to the beach yesterday (it's spring break here) and I couldn't help but think of them again and one...

    Remembering Dan.

    Craig and I had the tough job this morning of telling our kids (12, 15, and 17) that Dan and his son had passed away. We never told them, which may or may not be the right thing to do, but with these wars have come so many deaths of people we care about, and I couldn't bear to tell them. But my...

    I love those pictures, Elderado. One thing that I will never forget is Dan's infectious smile. Happiness really is contagious. You could be having the worst day ever and just being around him would make you feel better. I really like that you all have this thread here. I know it probably won't...

    Everything you said here is spot on, blackribbon. The last paragraph is important and I don't think most people really contemplate it enough. Thank you. I'd love to share more memories when I get a little more time. I'm sure my husband could go on for days, but he hasn't been able to talk...

    That's nice to hear. I hope she does, too, even though right now she is not feeling so great about her decisions. She really needs prayer for peace of mind. Elderado, thank you for that story. That's exactly how I think of the boys, too. They are wise beyond their years and always thinking of...

    You all are more than welcome. One thing I did forget to mention about Katie is that she was always the first one to help out and support the families of our Marines who were wounded or never made it home. She could always be counted on for that more than anyone I knew. She has a very caring...

    Remembering Dan.

    Hello, my name is Ashley. I became a member here a few years ago b/c of Dan but I haven't been around for a long time. I was told that this post was here, and I would just like to say a few words if that's alright (I'm married so I'm not sure if I'm really allowed to be here). Dan and Katie...
