  • 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

    Strong-willed/discipline books?

    Try this one. "Call Her Bluff", author SimplyComplex. It's the one you are going to write. If she gives you an ultimatum, tell her to go for it. I remember many years ago my younger brother and niece told my mother that if she didn't do what they wanted that they would run away from home. She...

    Fathers abortion rights

    Wonder what God thinks about all this. Oh, wait, He isn't the mother or the father so His opinion don't count. Silly me!

    Goes to show how long since I was in here. Last night was "family cook up night". Now we didn't cook the family. Still working on that one. We started in the afternoon when the girls and I cooked an apple cake. The girls did the before and after cake test. Mum was in bed cooking Baby #3. The...

    Co-sleeping

    Problems of co-sleeping? There aren't any. If your happy with it, go for it. Benefits? Too many to list. From a dad's point of view, they make an excellent hot water bottle. Mum's happy, baby's happy. Having said that, one of my work mates was not happy. He couldn't sleep at night for the baby...

    Christians and "civil unions"

    I think we need to be careful not to call something not sin that God says is. Where our Episcopalian brethren in North America agree or not, same gender union is an abomination in God's eyes according to His word both Old and New Testaments. If we say that same gender unions are not sin we are...

    How much sunshine do your kids get?

    It's not just kids. A routine check up with my doctor got me a nasty shock. And no my kidz don't get enough sunshine or time outside.

    Christians and "civil unions"

    I think first wee need to work out what is a marriage. The Bible defines marriage as being between a man and a woman. That is it is a union between a man and a woman. A man shall leave his mother and his father and cling to his wife and they will be come one flesh. The government defines it as a...

    Breastfeeding and co sleeping from a providers perspective

    I just read this to my wife. There are some very interesting observations. But I think it needs to be understood in that this observation is regarding breast feed/co-sleeping situation and daycare environment. It would appear that that children who are breastfed/co-sleep don't take to day care...

    Is It Good To Ask Questions?

    Taking your question at face value and assuming that the questions were not frivolous in nature, yes it is good to question. Indeed my Bible tells me to do that. Acts 17:11 is one such place. In another place it talks about working out your faith in fear and trembling. First pray that Christ...

    Creationist theology disproves Christianity

    I am not a Catholic, but I agree with this statement completely. The simple fact of the matter, is that we don't know.

    discipline...

    Umm, should have started training about 6 months ago. NOTE: Training, not discipline. That comes when your little man knows what no means. In fact your training should have started the day he was born. Hang on, it did. You taught him it is OK to touch and not obey. Oops, did I say that. Yep...
