• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Hello all. I am coming back to these forums after a long time absent. Not the same as when I last logged on and wanted to make a new start.
55yo divorcing male in Iowa. The divorce is currently moving forward. It ended just before the 35th anniversary.
I have 4 teens still at home with me, and we are all working together to keep house and home running as it should.
I grew up in WA state, so all family is far away but for my kids.
I have a great church ( Evengelical Free ) that I have not attended live for 9 weeks, but have been doing video church.

I am back to be able to talk to others going thru this phase of life. It is all new and many times is rather daunting.
God is good...all the time...and this valley will some day be behind me.

I hope that I can also be an encourager for those going thru tough times and can pray for you also.

Michael

Welcome and I trust that you are safe and well in these trying times. Sorry about your marriage. One 1st cousin of mine got divorced after 28 years and two children and another 1st cousin got divorced after 30 years of marriage and three children.
