• 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.

Bless, don't curse .... bless, don't curse ... bless, don't curse ...

I actually typed the above and not other words which would have caused my thread to look the same. However, I'm having one of those days where I needed to give myself the reminder. I'm not so sure that one of those not-so-nice words would really measure up to how this life feels at times.

I find it incredibly hard when people try and gloss over things. Esp. when they say "at least you have all those good memories".

It makes me feel like I've just won the consolation prize.

But you can't have an intelligent discussion with memories, or have a meal... with memories.

And it is quite shocking how many people just disappear into the fine dust when you really need them the most!
