  • 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.

Badly needed prayers

Tonight I am at work as a paramedic on a 911 ambulance. My heart is especially heavy. I am struggling. In January we lost our only child who was born 17 weeks early. :cry: In the following months I have had 2 surgeries and my husband has been diagnosed with Crohn's. He was very ill and although I never told him, I was terrified I was going to lose him too. It is now August and we are still not pregnant. :sigh: I am heartbroken. I want nothing more than to have a baby. I have struggled, to say the least, with my faith since losing my son. When I start to feel up again I am "knocked" down. I pray constantly for strength and health for my husband and of course, for a baby. Not just for me, but our families and my loving husband who was cheated out of his son. I know my broken heart will never totally heal, but having a baby to love and raise will change my life forever. I am begging for any prayers that can be spared. I know it is in God's plan for us to have children, here on this Earth...but it is so hard to see right now. Thank you. :help:
