• 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.

I don’t believe we’re meant to live the way we do in our society. There’s too much aloneness and you won’t combat it through isolation. We have to engage beyond the screen and reacquaint ourselves with the practice.

I agree with you.

I don't know about you all, but I feel like I tend to lose friends more than others. And I struggle to make new friends. I believe this contributes to my loneliness. Then social media has changed so much in my opinion. I used to be able to find people with similar interests with no problem. That's hard to do now.

I think you’d benefit from the post I left about personal curriculums. There’s christian women doing the same and some are studying the bible and related subjects. The key to overcoming your dilemma is followthrough. You can’t put your writing on the back burner or your gifts and I hinted at why in my comments. It isn’t a trend it’s a movement of women doing the same. That’s where kindred spirits are found not on the sidelines.

Sometimes we must walk through a door to unlock our blessing. Don’t be afraid. The things you seek are on the other side. ;-)
