  • 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

Hey all. Sorry for not keeping up with you guys better. i've moved 4 times in the last 15 months.
but you can keep up with your pal Ampmonster at myspace.

but seriously. my oldest brother is a much more serious writer than i am. he's written 9 novels and hasn't had any luck yet and it' s really getting to him.
he says he's both blessed and cursed for knowing he wanted to write since before he could read. he's only wanted to do one thing and he's getting scared he'll never succeed.
he says his faith is dwindling because of it. he claims it's the only thing he wants to do. the only thing that keeps him going. ive tried telling him everything; his friends and family love the stuff he puts out, he's only 34, etc
i've told him most 'sucsessful' people only get there by sacraficing or ignoring their faith (or never having in the first place)
and most importantly, i told him life sucks. thank adam and eve. i dont know, but this is the hand were dealt. millions if not billions dont realize their dreams.

so i dont know what else to say. any advice or scripture you think might be appropriate.

thanks again. ill try to keep in touch better.
Ben
