• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

After finishing reading my daily Lenten meditation: "None of us really knows what we are doing until the outer crucifix becomes the inner revelation of every act of human barbarism, war, torture, starvation, disease, abuse, oppression, injustice, and absurd lives "from the blood of Abel the Holy to the blood of Zechariah whom you killed (Mt 23:35.)...."

I turn on the news and hear Marco Rubio announcing that Trump is getting "impatient" and the US might "move on" from peace efforts...leaving 66 million 'lambs of God' in Ukraine vulnerable to slaughter (for did not Jesus say that we are the lambs and he the Good Shepherd?)


The horror of the news on the holiest day of the year leaves me transfixed with grief.

66 million lives to relieve a president's "impatience?"

Gee.... if we move on from peace efforts - the we are back to the Biden form of warfare - no peace and millions of little lambs being killed while he makes money selling weapons to Ukraine.

Let's all reflect on Jesus' empathy this Good Friday, "for God so loved the world..."

Please lead us by showing your empathy for the President of the United States - Scripture tells us to pray for those in authority over us.

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

Praying for peace is all I can do. I do not put my faith in politicians, only in God.
