• 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.

I read 2 books that have changed/helped my outlook on things.Lance Armstrongs-It's not about the Bike. Sue Patton Thoele's Courage to be Yourself. Both have come to be reminders about things I'm facing with myself or friends.

For the Life of the World by Alexander Schmemann and Thirsting for God in a Land of Shallow Wells by Matthew Gallatin were the two that most changed my life. There are parts of FtLotW that I just can't read without weeping at how good, compassionate and loving God is.

It's not very original since it's selling so many copies, but Malcolm Gladwell's Blink is all about thinking and how we do it, etc. Definitely influential on how I, well, ...think. Cyberpunk writers like William Gibson, Jeff Noon, Philip K. Dick, and Neal Stephenson write thought-provoking works of fiction.
