  • 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

It was ok trying to finish up with some exams as the last day for my students is tomorrow(only 2 hours). There was a huge food fight in the cafeteria and the Grade 12's are responsible. Of course not all of them but they all had their share in the clean up. Good! I think the grad committee is going to have to pay damages too. It was crazy as I heard they released some poor mice and the place went berserk. I missed it totally but saw the aftermath. I was in the Low Incidence classroom area trying to feed a very unhappy camper. He is a non verbal disabled boy in a wheelchair generally a sweetie pie but who had severe stomach pain today. He was making so much noise himself he obliterated the frenzy outside our doors. Jan

Hello all!

I've had a hard week. This last Sunday we had to take my daughter back to the hospital because of a horrific reaction to the pain meds she was on. It's been touch and go, but she is on the mend now, and for that I can only praise God.

I haven't been here much, just long enough to post on the prayer thread and leave. I've been trying to keep my own family going, and spend as much time in the hospital as I could.

I've thought of you all several times. How good it is to have friends.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring. I was suppposed to be in Philidelphia this weekend, visiting my oldest son while my husband was attending a conference. But my daughter needs me. I couldn't go.

Small world. This same son of mine I was supposed to see this weekend is going to England Sunday night. He works for GSK, a British pharmaceutical company. My British friends, if you see a young man, tall with green-blue eyes and brown hair and a distinctively British/German look about him, will you say hello to him?

Ariel I am glad your daughter has again begun to mend. What was the reaction, did she have an allergy. I was actullly surprised she came home so quickly after such severe injuries. I hope you are getting the rest YOU need too dear. The Lord give you strength for each day. Sufficient unto the day is the trouble(evil) thereof. Matthew 6:34

May these scriptures encourage you.

Isa 35:3 Strengthen the feeble hands,
steady the knees that give way;
Isa 35:4 say to those with fearful hearts,
“Be strong, do not fear;
your God will come,
he will come with vengeance;
with divine retribution
he will come to save you.”

Isa 35:5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened
and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
Isa 35:6 Then will the lame leap like a deer,
and the mute tongue shout for joy.
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
and streams in the desert.
Isa 35:7 The burning sand will become a pool,
the thirsty ground bubbling springs.
In the haunts where jackals once lay,
grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.

Isa 35:8 And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness.
The unclean will not journey on it;
it will be for those who walk in that Way;
wicked fools will not go about on it.[fn1]
Isa 35:9 No lion will be there,
nor will any ferocious beast get up on it;
they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed will walk there,
Isa 35:10 and the ransomed of the Lord will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

Jan, thank you so much. Truly, the Lord has spoken through you to remind me of His promises and to encourage me today! Thank you!

My daughter is doing better today. We don't know if this is an allergy or a drug reaction. We just know that she is in that percentage of patients who have had an adverse reaction to morphine.

But once again, the news is good today.

I cannot give you more information, because my daughter's husband has asked us to respect her privacy. Suffice it to say that some of the pain meds used today are dangerous.

Jim I am not quite sure what you are saying. When I click the last page on a thread on my list I am always taken to the complete last page at the top and have to scroll down before I can add a post.

Ariel I totally understand the privacy thing and didn't mean to probe. I am glad that the news is getting better for your daughter and that your heart was encouraged by the Word of God.

a 'look-back' to the first page
and th' reason for it SINCERE
it must be a photoshopped female
her motive so-obviously CLEAR
to 'touch-up' the odd 'misalignment'
and to make-sure PERFECTION is-near

well! that is one guess at 'the possibles'
