  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

A Carpe Diem

Every day in any way I strive to close the gap,
the gap of my wonders and dreams,
The dreams of all dreams.
In the warm spring, stop and see the roses
Go for a walk; see the springs.

Slow down don't run, stay and watch the
sunset enfold its bright fingertips till morning.
see all the stars appear before your eyes,
stop and hear the crickets chirp,
the hoot of an owl and the bold howl of the coyote.

sit by the creek and listen to the
trickling water and the beauty of
nature saying, "Beauty, ohsweet beauty."

But Keep your eyes and ears open for the attack of death who may be upon you.
Don't hesitate, or you'll be Doomed
and you will never see such beauty again.

Do what you can to achieve your dream, but be quick. Stay on your toes because the threat of death will follow.

When you achieve, don't leave.
Stay and enjoy what you have completed;
and when you turn back, if you turn back,
think of what it took to achieve your being!
