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.
Ask away!

I would like to live in my house that I own in Ga. but that's not possible right now.
For vacation, I would most like to visit Portugal or Italy again.

The why is probably different for everyone. Maybe because "living stone" is not an option. I believe in Christ and I try to live that. I seek to reconcile Christ with His followers at times. I have observed people from my earliest memory. And sometimes what I observe are things that people don't think anyone else notices. In the past year I've seen things that make me question if Christ is some sort of game or name only reference to people that claim Christ. If you claim to love your neighbor, but then maliciously try to underhandedly hurt them or passive aggressively upset them for what ever reason (jealously, discontentedness, or just plain meanness); I just don't get that. Is that hate? Can Christ exist in such cirumstances? Is it christian to only love those that love you or when it gets hard to love is it worth it to extend grace? I don't know; it's a terribly long answer- but I started seeing people (lots - online and off) take the underhanded way to actually hurt someone's feelings or "put them in their place " b/c they thought no one would hear them, see them, or find out, and in the next breath claim to love God sooo much and how He changed them, etc... I think my heart got broken in several ways from just witnessing these interactions and it's become a real turning point in my faith. My seeking has to do with what kind of person do I want to be, what sort of Christian do I want to become, what sort of integrity and grace do I want to practice and what is real in this world to live out.......I know no one is perfect and we all fail at times- isolated occasions are one thing but repetitive trying to "get" someone in a mean way either directed towards me or someone else is another. I just seemed to see so many examples over the past year and something like disgust grew in me- I didn't want to be anything like that ever. When there is a choice of satisfying my self or my own sense of justice and submitting to Christ ; which one am i going to take, which one do I practice so much that it becomes 2nd nature.....sorry for the long answer and it probably makes sense to no one but myself. Still other taunters may stumble in here and laugh at me for it, but I don't think I can adaquately put this into words.

Thank you for the answer, I know it was a tough question. I guess the only comment I would make is to not let those sorts of people be an influence in your life, instead go out and find Christians who act out their faith on a daily basis. They are really out there and because of their faith they will seek to encourage others in their own lives.

Oh, I know they are out there; but my problem is that people I had previously admired for their faith were the ones that were acting one way in public and another way when they thought it was safe to be underhanded. No one is perfect and I've never idolized anyone, but it makes it hard to just know who to let in or take seriously. I am the only one I have control over so I suppose it's just a learning experience and challenge to myself to never let myself be like that. Enough about that, moar questions!

It's supposed to rain here. Hubby was going to work at a concert and I was going to go with him, but I don't think we are doing that anymore b/c it's a state away and he doesn't want to drive in the rain.... We are doing a family dinner tomorrow night; hopefully the rain will hold off and we can go bike riding tomorrow or Sunday.

at this time, yes....We really haven't had any here. I was so excited for my first northern winter, but we only had two weekends of it and barely 3 inches so this winter has been very much like a southern one.

not fluently.... I had many Indian friends in college and I learned to say several phrases in Hindi and do a village dance. I can recognize written words and spoken phrases in Spanish and the same with Italian.
