  • 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.

Actual event from 2024..

One time I was on the patio watching a hummingbird and I was in a rather odd mood about God. I said in the back of my mind, If God could do one thing for me to gain his trust, I'd like that bird to come and at least say hello to me.. Lo and behold; I'm not sure if it was the shades or what seemed at the time she was about to fly off, however; she hesitated for a moment, swooped up to me and as she hung her head in an honest posture looked like she was talking perhaps giving me the invitation I asked God for...

It could have been coincidence or it could have been God giving you a very brief sign.

From (rare) time to time I wonder if the flight of a butterfly or bird might have had a divine touch, but there's no way of confirming it.

A butterfly might seem to hang around a lot longer than normal, or a bird might fly very close to me, much closer than they normally do.

But I don't think about it for long because there's no way to prove it. Saint Francis might have been able to relate to the animals, but he was far advanced in the spiritual realm.
