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

Being let down by someone when I needed them the most. But....what it taught me (at that stage in my Christian walk) was that I should not place my trust in people but in the Lord.

Do you feel in any way positive about this year? If so, what? If not, why?

It looks like things are going to get better with me and God, and people are giving me a lot of support right now with the divorce. I was afraid, and sometimes still freak out, but I can better turn my mind now, and I think I can bounce back.

Is there anyone in your life that you'd like to know better, but don't know how or can't? Why?

I would have liked to get to know my grandparents better. They lived a difficult Amish life walking with Christ and had 12 kids! But they've passed away. My grandfather had Parkinson's and I never got to know him at all. :(


Who is the person you look up to most, who has modeled the life of a good Christian?

I have a very good friend John, who is my mentor both as a Christian and as an Air Force officer. He has been advisng and guiding me in this marital collapse I'm in, and as far as I can tell, nothing he's told me in the last 8 months has not been correct or wise.

Do you have people that look up to you?

I lost 20 lbs in 2 months when my wife and I separated. So far, I've lost 20 lbs since July with this marital discord. Now that we're finished, I've got no appetite at all, but I think I'm going to avoid the nervous breakdown.

How hard is it for you to admit you're wrong and apologize?
