  • 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 have a couple of prayer requests...

First, and most importantly I would like to ask everyone to pray for my sister. I have talked about her before. She has bi-polar, she is on medication, but she still has a lot of problems. Lately she has been drinking like a fish, and dancing every night of the week, she refuses to admit she has a problem (had cpt. morgan with her eggs for breakfast the other day, that's a problem), she doesn't have a job, and won't apply because she tried smoking pot and she knows it will show up on her drug screening tests. I don't think she is saved, she talks of God sometimes, but only when it suits her.

Also, pray for my dad. My sister lives with him, and he is trying to deal with her being out all night or gone for days at a time. She doesn't realize that he worries about her, and it is putting a lot of stress on him during an already stressful time (my parents divorced last spring, still adjusting). Please pray for his sanity during this hard time.

Lastly, I am feeling extremely stressed right now because of the forementioned, and also because this weekend I am supposed to go to Wisconsin with my family, my mom already paid for a hotel room for my fiance and I to stay in, and my fiance still doesn't have work off. If he doesn't get work off, then we won't be able to go, and my mom will be angry that she paid for an extra room. It is especially stressful because he works overnights and no one is ever willing to work for him even though he covers for people all the time. Ugg, sorry I am just feeling very stressed. Please pray that he gets work off and we have an ok weekend.

If I remember right your parents just split up didn't they?
I have a feeling your sister is in self destruct mode right now cause she can't find a way to deal with this on top of her mental issues. Pray she gets through this without any baggage to live with.
I freaked out for a few years when dad left.

Mr. Cheese, you're right, my parents divorced this past april. I think she is dealing with so many issues that she doesn't even know where to start. Unfortunately I don't know where to start either. I am praying that she will seek God for help because I know from experience that without God things seem much more hopeless than they really are. Thanks so much for all of your prayers!
