  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

You have my prayers and my gratitude. I know you will be lifted in many ways and in all of your days. My love for you will help. You take whatever care you need, and be strong. This place will miss you. You are a true Christlike catalyst here. I know I speak for more than just myself.
Please be well, my beloved sister in Christ.

You know my name and you know my heart.

Psalm 91(90) Qui habitat

1 He who dwells
in the shelter of the Most High
and abides
in the shade of the Almighty
2 says to the Lord: "My refuge,
my stronghold, my God in whom I trust!"

3 It is he who will free you
from the snare of the fowler who seeks to destroy you;
4 he will conceal you with his pinions
and under his wings you will find refuge.

5 You will not fear the terror
of the night nor the arrow
that flies by day,
6 nor the plague that prowls
in the darkness nor the scourge
that lays waste at noon.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand fall at your right,
you, it will never approach;
4c his faithfulness is buckler and shield.

8 Your eyes have only to look
to see
how the wicked are repaid,
9 you who have said:
"Lord, my refuge!" and
have made the Most High your dwelling.

10 Upon you no evil shall fall,
no plague approach
where you dwell.
11 For you has he commanded his angels,
to keep you in all your ways.
12 They shall bear you
upon their hands lest you
strike your foot against a stone.
13 On the lion and the viper
you will tread and trample the young lion and the dragon.
14 Since he clings to me
in love, I will free him;
protect you
for he knows my name.
15 When he calls
I shall answer: "I am with you,"
I will save him in distress
and give him glory.

16 With length of days
I will content him;
I shall let you see my saving power.



Psalm 92(91) Bonum est confiteri

.2 It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to make music to your name, O Most High,
.3 to proclaim your love in the morning
and your truth in the watches of the night,
.4 on the ten-stringed lyre and the lute,
with the murmuring sound of the harp.

.5 Your deeds, O Lord, have made me glad;
for the work of your hands I shout with joy.
.6 O Lord, how great are your works!
How deep are your designs!
.7 The foolish man cannot know this
and the fool cannot understand.

.8 Though the wicked spring up like grass
and all who do evil thrive,
they are doomed to be eternally destroyed.
.9 But you, Lord, are eternally on high.
.10 See how your enemies perish;
all doers of evil are scattered.

.11 To me you give the wild ox's strength;
you anoint me with the purest oil.
.12 My eyes looked in triumph on my foes;
my ears heard gladly of their fall.
.13 The just will flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a Lebanon cedar.

.14 Planted in the house of the Lord
they will flourish in the courts of our God,
.15 still bearing fruit when they are old,
still full of sap, still green,
.16 to proclaim that the Lord is just.
In him, my rock, there is no wrong.



Sweet Jesus, Lord and Saviour Divine
I pray your loving care on family mine
my brothers and sisters may they never fear
because thou Dear Lord art forever here

Please pray for me...I am hit with three critical crisis this morning. Most difficult is, my mother is just hanging on to life at this moment in critical care unite in a hospital in Kansas City.

I am turning on the ignore button to IGNORE annie and tony. If this leaves me out of the loop in some conversations...for now ....this has to be.

Thank you all for your support regarding the slams here...your friendship means so very much to me.

May you all be blessed for giving me love.

Love to you from Spring

I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. Have a wonderful day.







THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL USE OF THE ALPHABET



Although things are not perfect;
Because of trials or pain;
Continue in thanksgiving;
Do not begin to blame;
Even when the times are hard;
Fierce winds are bound to blow;
God is forever able;
Hold on to what you know;
Imagine life without His love;
Joy would cease to be;
Keep thanking Him for all the things;
Love imparts to thee;
Move out of "Camp Complaining";
No weapon that is known;
On earth can yield the power;
Praise can do alone;
Quit looking at the future;
Redeem the time at hand;
Start every day with worship;
To "thank" is a command;
Until we see Him coming;
Victorious in the sky;
We'll run the race with gratitude;
Xalting God most high;
Yes, there'll be good times & yes some will be bad, but...
Zion waits in glory...where no one is ever sad!





"I am too blessed to be stressed!"


The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.


The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.

God's Love and peace be with you forever,

Cleaning Poem










I asked the Lord to tell me
Why my house is such a mess.
He asked if I'd been 'computering',
And I had to answer 'yes.'
He told me to get off my fanny
And tidy up the house.
And so I started cleaning up...
The smudges off my mouse.
I wiped and shined the topside.
That really did the trick...
I was just admiring my work....
I didn't mean to 'click.'
But click, I did, and oops I found
A real absorbing site
That I got SO way into...
I was into it all night. <<Sigh>>
Nothing's changed except my mouse
It's very, very shiny.
I guess my house will stay a mess...
While I sit here on my hiney.

LITTLE OLD LADY~

i_safe.gif


There was a little old lady, who every morning.
stepped onto her front porch, raised her arms to the sky,
and shouted: "PRAISE THE LORD!"
One day an atheist moved into the house next door.
He became irritated at the little old lady.
[FONT=Times&#13;&#10; New&#13;&#10; Roman]Every morning he'd step onto his front porch after her and yell: [/FONT]
[FONT=Times&#13;&#10; New&#13;&#10; Roman]"THERE IS NO LORD!"[/FONT]

Time passed with the two of them carrying on this way
every day.
One morning, in the middle of winter,
the little old lady stepped onto her front porch
and shouted: "PRAISE THE LORD!
Please Lord, I have no food and I am starving,
provide for me, oh Lord!
The next morning she stepped out onto her porch
and there were two huge bags of groceries sitting there.
"PRAISE THE LORD!"
she cried out.
"HE HAS PROVIDED GROCERIES FOR ME!"
The atheist neighbor jumped out of the hedges
and shouted:
"THERE IS NO LORD.
I BOUGHT THOSE GROCERIES!!"
The little old lady threw her arms into the air
and shouted:
"PRAISE THE LORD!
HE HAS PROVIDED ME WITH GROCERIES
AND MADE THE DEVIL PAY FOR THEM!



SMILE AND PASS THIS ON.

Today, when I awoke, I suddenly realized that this is the best day of my life, ever. There were times when I wondered if I would make it to today; but I did! And because I did I'm going to celebrate!

001_image002.gif


Today, I'm going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I have had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings, the beautiful friendships, and, yes, even the hardships, because they have served to make me stronger.

I will go through this day with my head held high and a happy heart. I will marvel at God's seemingly simple gifts:


the morning dew,
002_image003.jpg
the sun,



the clouds,
003_image004.jpg
the trees,



004_image005.jpg
the flowers,




the birds.
005_image006.jpg



006_image002.gif
Today, none of these miraculous creations will escape my notice.

Today, I will share my excitement for life with other people. I'll make someone smile. I'll go out of my way to perform an unexpected act of kindness for someone I don't even know.
Today, I'll give a sincere compliment to someone who seems down. I'll tell a child how special he is, and I'll tell someone I love just how deeply I care for them and how much they mean to me.

Today is the day I quit worrying about what I don't have and start being grateful for all the wonderful things God has already given me. I'll remember that to worry is just a waste of time because my faith in God and his Divine Plan ensures everything will be just fine.

And tonight, before I go to bed, I'll go outside and raise my eyes to the heavens. I will stand in awe at the beauty of the stars and the moon, and I will praise God for these magnificent treasures.

007_image007.gif
As the day ends and I lay my head down on my pillow, I will thank the Almighty for the best day of my life. And I will sleep the sleep of a contented child, excited with expectation because I know that tomorrow is going to be the best day of my life, ever!

One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of
the main streets of town, taking those extra precautions
necessary when the roads are wet and slick.


girl_splashing_in_puddle_md_wht.gif


Suddenly, my son Matthew spoke up from his relaxed
position in the front seat. "Mom, I'm thinking of something."
This announcement usually meant he had been pondering
some fact for a while and was now ready to expound all
that his seven-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear.

"What are you thinking?" I asked.

"The rain," he began, "is like sin and the windshield
wipers are like God, wiping our sins away."


girl_splashing_in_puddle_md_wht.gif


After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond.
"That's really good, Matthew."

Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little
boy take this revelation? So I asked... "Do you notice how
the rain keeps on coming? What does that tell you?"

Matthew didn't hesitate one moment with his answer:
"We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."


girl_splashing_in_puddle_md_wht.gif


I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.
Isn't it comforting to know that God does keep forgiving us?


Pass the comfort on!!!!

bartony said:
NEVER
This is the message that was sent:
***************
...in my life have seen anyone so determined to keep ill will flowing. Please know, I am going to wear the report button OUT on you, every single time you come at me, sir.
I owe it, if not to myself, to this forum.

You are a professional at keeping trouble stirring, and trying to come out smelling like a rose, but failing miserably in that attempt.

So, keep 'em coming. You've been reported this a.m. and will continue to be so, every jibe you take at me.

Learn or pay...your choice.
***************


Again..... ???
I have requested that this member STAY OUT of MY PM
I did so, politely
This member has no respect for
The CF Rules

I will pray that he recovers his senses soon

This message was prompted by:

I'm still tired from that battle put upon me by "the other party" yesterday


You IMAGINE 'attacks' so-often

Please desist as of, now

You shouldnt debate other members
IT'S IN THE RULES ...............remember ???

In response to my being discussed with another member
wherein; the author of the above PM message
accuses me of attacks against him and belabouring him with untruth


Quite untrue of course !

Fantasy in-fact

Will this person not-stop ?
I have made several requests

what steps can I take....
to keep my PM open and HIM OUT


=========================

Re: Never...
...in my life have seen anyone so determined to keep ill will flowing. Please know, I am going to wear the report button OUT on you, every single time you come at me, sir.<<<

^If this, is what you have in your mind
all this time Tony
Then with-regret I must tell you that I believe you could-benefit from
taking some english-lessons
And yes, "paranoia"
now seems the best choice of words
to describe
HOW, I saw / see
your behaviour toward me (textually)
It's said: that the best form of defence is:
ATTACK... and you've shown many instances of that - toward me

I owe it, if not to myself, to this forum. <<

^THE 'OTHER MEMBERS' both WELCOME
and APPRECIATE my visits
ONLY YOU 'have a problem' with ME
I repeat... ONLY YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH-ME...

This forum welcomes me <<

^ THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THIS FORUM are as kindly as I am ... as polite as I am ... also,
in-contrast to you THEY, LIKE ME wouldnt want to hurt anyone's feelings

You are a professional at keeping trouble stirring, <<

^ says ONLY YOU

and trying to come out smelling like a rose, but failing miserably in that attempt. <<

^ yet ANOTHER SIGN of some very mixed-up thought patterns there too


So, keep 'em coming. <<

^ and here....^
YOU INVITE that, which you fear
is 'my intent' and honestly
THAT IS so-far from the truth
TONY... I, am not !!!
from another planet.. ????


You've been reported this a.m. and will continue to be so, every jibe you take at me. <<

^ there is something wrong here
WHERE is your christianity...
WHY... doesnt the Lord hold you up
against these bad-feelings ???

Learn or pay...your choice.



<<

^ PAY ????
For sure
I am-learning about different people
and their DIFFERENT WAYS of thinking

There is no-way that your threats perturb me at-all ...
it merely takes time to respond
BECAUSE
I AM NOT IGNORANT
AND ...by CLOSING MY-PM to YOU
(iow: all except-buddies) will prevent
my exercising my 'open-door policy'

You give the impression
that a "bit of scandal" turns you on
and that is not the reason GE 50+
is here

You can carry on
REPORTING ME for as long as
ADMIN can bear it
You will of course, need to show
that I am provoking you
and nowhere will you you find
anything to substantiate such a claim
However, IT IS, 'a matter of record'
that you have made many claims
concerning 'my posts'
that ARE UNFOUNDED... (lies)

If, you dont like to read anything I post
PUT ME ON 'IGNORE'
I wont miss
not talking, with someone, able to "spout-off" as you do so-often
(to use your own language_spout off)
with no 'just-cause'
as I said, The Lord knows...
you and so does anyone
that can read your messages
AND MY OWN 'on the same page'

I have only reported your recent PM's

STAY OUT
OF MY MESSENGER
iow: talk outside on the front pages
(in public)

BTW... I chatted with Miggles on Yahoo
the other day and I am glad she is fine
praise the good Lord

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.... pack it in now!

In my opinion Christians need to each walk our own walk with the Lord to the fullest of our ability and enlightenment and stop trying to micromanage others in their walk with God. This is not the place.Jam 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Jam 4:11 Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
Jam 4:12 There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?

from time to time we WILL have understanding problems
(based in regional 'phraseology')

"cul-de-sacs" was used to describe: dead ends
alt: waste of energy/ pointless effort/ spurned advice

similar, to 'your description'
my efforts with another members problem(s)

you received no 'cynicism' from me, dear sister
indeed I have oft-times blessed and encouraged you
I am sure you will recall (?)

I am reminded of, anothers 'claim'
that I, give "blessings, with a sting in the tail"

When, in any doubt as to 'meaning' of my text
please do ask ?
I will be only too-pleased to discuss STUFF further
and to do so 'politely'

Anyone else feeling nostalgic here? I found the very first post of the chit chat thread, dated June 21, 2005 and it was made by Keeptrying. Here is the post:
Chit Chat

I could not find a topic to just chat in so I opened this one. I'm waiting for the car repair shop to open so I can have the muffler on my truck welded back up. I also need to go to DMV and get a new license but that will have to wait for another day---a good hair day for the picture. LOL I'll have to get my Flowbee out!
I took the dog for a walk this morning and missed the person I was suppose to meet. I think I was a little late and I don't have her phone # so now I feel guilty.
What is everyone else up to today? I do pray it is full of Gods blessings</DIV>
MyCF Link: keeptrying.christianforums.com (465 views)

quot-bot-left.gif
quot-bot-right.gif


I vote we get back on topic here. I wonder what Keeptrying is up to? I know she still posts, I just never see her in the Golden Eagles forum. I wonder if she knows that her chit chat thread has been renewed four times over? What a hoot!
