  • 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

Just last night, I spent hours crying about my ex. I was hoping that we could get back together because I am very much still in love. However, I was given the cold shoulder. I felt like I had nothing left in the world. Not many friends, no job because I am on disability, no future career and I have put on about 40 pounds in the past year. I am a decent writer but I haven't written anything in almost a year.

I don't know what happened between now and then, but somehow I got a wake up call. Something kicked me in the behind. I am going to stop sleeping late just because I can. I am going to go for a walk in the morning and evening and work out monday - friday to get back in the shape I want to be. I am also going to start eating better... no more salty snacks and desserts and drinking water instead of pop and kool-aid. I am also going to sit in front of this computer every afternoon and start writing again. I am also going to try and stop seeing my life as one that has to be with another person. At least not until I am happy with myself.

It's amazing because even though I didn't get what I wanted, Jesus helped me find what I needed inside me to go on. Praise the lord!
