  • 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.

A Mississippi TV weatherman who became a viral sensation for his heartfelt prayer during a deadly tornado in 2023 is among a number of staffers who have been laid off as a part of a corporate restructuring effort.

Matt Laubhan, former chief meteorologist at local ABC affiliate WTVA in northeast Mississippi, became a social media phenom in March 2023 after he prayed on-air for those in the path of a dangerous EF-3 tornado in Amory, Mississippi, a town of about 6,000 residents.

"So, Amory, we need to be in our tornado-safe place. We've got new scan coming in here as we speak," he said during an on-air report Friday night as the storm drew closer to the city. "Oh man, like, north side of Amory, this is coming in. Oh man."
