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 was just thinking last night how there are two jobs I would never want, one is modeling, the other is acting.
I hate the idea of being at someone elses bec and call, I don't mind a job with scheduled hours, but the spur of the moment thing is not cool, nor the miss nap skip lunch, try to appease a cranky kid (and ME!) no way. I like regular (and frequent) meals and rest times.
I got the 'you should be a model' when I was a teen and I do not have the thick skin neccessary, I mean I am ok looking (but NOT photogenic) but to be told on a frequent basis "well maybe we can shoot form such and such an angle to hide the big nose" or something, no way I couldn't do it.
Oh yeah, and I AM NEVER cutting my hair for a photo shoot! or losing weight or gaining it or any of that stuff, having my body at the whim of someone elses opinion, I couldnt do it. I like my hair long and that is final!
I figure the same stuff applies to my kids, I like the way they look (adorable of course!) and I am not going to spend any time or effort on changing it for someone elses opinions or anything. Nor am I patient enough to try and amuse a kid for hours while wishing I was at home eating a nice dinner
(or wahtever)
But apparently lots of people like it, if you have the personality for it, and if you are already pretty flexible on food, rest and all that, why not? (so long as you don't lose the focus, and don't make it all about looks and stuff)

I have been approached several times, in the malls, on the streets, wanting my daughter to participate in commercials or moddling. We havn't done it just because we live here and the audition was in California. Some of the agencies here in Colorado only work with kids 5 and up... and she's not quite there yet. They want to set up an apt for dec of this year. I havn't done it. I have been waiting to see how my daughter handles certian things. To see if she could handle modeling or getting into this industry. I have been in this industry and it's not for everyone. Being a Christiand didn't happen until I got out. I'm not sure which road we will take, right now she's a happy 4 year old, who doesn't have any worries. I dont' want that to change, just so that she can model. She is already showing to me that is concerned with what she wears and things like that. I'm leaning towards skipping this whole thing together. My husband and I are trying to teach her it's not important what you look like but it's more important to love yourself. So for now, she's in gymnastics and dance!
