We all have them in our churches, schools, workplaces, supermarkets... We all know people who have a favorite subject about which they make a lot of noise, but they don't stop clanging long enough to listen to others or even to really listen to what they are saying. They're too caught up in...

I know there has been some confusion over who can post what in this forum. Som have questions about who is or isn't "non-denominational." Others about the line between fellowship and debate. I have attempted to clarify some of this through an updated code of conduct for posting in this forum...

Non-Denominational Forum Code of Conduct The Non-Denominational Forum share a common set of Rules with all of Christian Forums. Please read and familiarize yourself with the rules before posting in this forum. Please note, none of the below Code of Conduct is a change or deviation from the...

Please, only RM'ers vote in this poll. It's a public poll, so we can see who voted for what. This is a process for people who call this forum "home" to come up with a slogan, not for others to debate the slogan. This poll only has 2 options. It seems the "No Creed but Christ" slogan is the...

Sorry for breaking the page layout with this one. :blush: I spent the morning at a local tulip farm. It was way too early for me to be awake, but I captured some gorgeous examples of God's creative hand.

New thread for discussing possible forum slogans. You can vote for mutiple slogans in this poll. Keep thinking of possible new slogans, too. Remember, it needs to be short and it shouldn't intentionally offend others. :)

Had some fun with my lunch, today. :) I have a new white drafting table in my office, right under the window. I'm finding it's a great setup for playing with my new macro lens. I opened the blinds behind the desk for natural lighting, then directed an incandescent spot from in front of...

I haven't made any decisions, yet, but I'm thinking about it. I took a part-time job with the idea that earning a secondary income would allow me to start a freelance writing career without having to worry about money right away. I've also brought my cost of living down so that I only need to...

It's March! For some that means basketball tournaments and the beginning of spring skiing. For others, it's leprechauns and pots of gold. Let's focus on the latter for just a moment. What is precious to you? What are the things in life you seek? What are the things others seek? Theme The...

I returned to CF last fall identifying as Catholic and created a new user, "romecoming." At the time, I had made the decision to join the Catholic Church and was taking active steps to be formally confirmed in the Church. At the same time, I've been dealing with other issues in my life that I...

February plays host to Valentine's Day. As a single guy, I hate it when everything in February has to be about mooshey lovey stuff, but I recognize there are people out there who just have to smother everything with pink hearts and kisses. :kiss: Theme The theme for this month's challenge is...

OK. It's official. Matt Maher rocks! I got both The End and the Beginning and Welcome to Life and can't stop listening to it. It's in my iPod, which is the music I go to sleep to and wake up to. It's in my car for the 30 minute commute. I've been listening to the two albums on repeat all...

In addition to the chronic migraines, I have a knee issue that we have just determined is not fixable via surgery and will likely be a life-long ailment. So far, I have tried all the non-pharmaceutical pain management options (ice, heat, therapy, lifestyle changes, TENS unit, herbal supplements...

I'm a musician. Music is important to me. I've spent the past howevermany years with "Christian Contemporary." I listen to a breadth of different types from Matt Redman to David Crowder Band to Kutless. I'm curious to know if there are any "Catholic" musicians/groups writing/singing/performing...

(Chronic migraine sufferer, here. 5-6 per week, usually lasting 3-12 hours, each.) How do you deal with the pain when it's an always-there sort of thing? I don't like taking medication because feeling drugged isn't any better than feeling pain. Prayer and meditation works quite a bit, but not...

I have had sleep problems for years. I've tried all the folk-remedies; I've gone through countless sleep-studies; I've tried prescription and OTC drugs; I even bought a new bed. None of it has worked. It can take me hours to fall asleep and I rarely sleep more than 90 minutes without waking...

Anne Lamotte wrote a chapter in one of her books on writing about first drafts. Those of you who have read the book know why I can't include the name of the chapter in a CF thread. :) The gist is that we need to disable the editors in our heads when we write first drafts. We need to write...

Cold. So very cold. Light. Bright. Flashing. Strobing. My eyes. Open. Closed. Open. Closed. The bucket tipped over. The ground so far below. My father’s baseball mitt. Fourth grade. After school. He left work early to practice with me before tryouts. His used, weathered...
