  • 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.

What are you listening to right now? (24)

Too many lives they've spent across the ocean
Too much money been spent upon the moon
Well, until they make it right
I hope they never sleep at night
They better make some changes
And do it soon
Do it now,
Do it to it

Here are old songs about spring. For whatever reason these kinds of songs disappeared. Tho they occasionally show up even in modern-day movies & a lot of secular Christmas songs are of this spirit. I like them. Compare it w/ the pop music of today

Eliza Lynn
You Gotta Live


From Eliza Lynn's website about this song You Gotta Live
My Dad used to say, "There's two things you gotta do in life. You gotta live until you die and you have to be loved by God." I started writing this a year before my Dad had the massive stroke that paralyzed him. I had the chorus and too many verses, but it just didn't seem like it was finished. After Dad's stroke, I wanted to continue working on this song, but it was too poignant to wade through alone. I brought it to a songwriting session with Dan Rose and we wrote a new tune for the verses and then, after sitting with the heart of this song, Dan sent me lyrics to the first two verses. I was working a full time day job when I received these and ran home to experiment with them embedded in the song. They were so perfect, I wept. Dan said that he'd tried to imagine my Dad speaking to me. We finished the last verse together and this song was such a gift to have in the last years of Dad's life. I was singing this to him outside his nursing home, under the trees, him in his wheelchair, when it hit me that there were really now only two things Dad had to do - two things he could do. At his funeral, I sang this song and gave it everything I had. I really miss my Dad, but this song makes me feel close to him, it makes me know he is with me.

It's been forty days and forty nights
Down the road of many trials
And I pray it's only for a season
'Cause in the wilderness and in the flood
You're the one I'm thinking of
And I know You've brought me for a reason
