  • 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

Subject:
Proverbs 18:21 story
Once Upon A Time...

frog1.gif


Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs...

frog2.gif

who arranged a running competition.

The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

frog1.gif



The wisdom of this story is:

Never listen to other people's tendencies to be



frog9.gif
frog10.gif




negative or pessimistic...
take
your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you...
the ones you have in your heart!


frog11.gif


Always think of the power words have.


"There's life and death in the power of the tongue"
Proverbs 18:21.
Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!



Therefore: ALWAYS be... POSITIVE!

And above all: Be DEAF when people tell YOU,

"You cannot fulfill your dreams!"



frog13.gif




Always think: God and I can do this!



Consider passing this message on
to
the "tiny frogs"
frog15.gif
you care about.


Give them some motivation!!!

oh yes! Dave ;)

Many are the fools ^_^, like the NIKE-ad: "All your life they will tell you: You're not smart-enuf, you're not good-enuf,
you're this, that, & the other things, worthless ^_^ It's impossible!!! You can't do it."
right. Then, there was this tiny frog
frog14.gif
, who *with :hug: GOD* succeeded... :clap:


All your life, most people say firmly "no"; and
quite positive & Constructive, you will look them in the eye; & prove
"Yes, I can, and am...
" :clap:

Bless you! for serving as encourager... :hug: Dave

Hi Lady Genteel

We had just two callers over halloween
I gave each a small bag, each containing around 50 pence [in copper]

It was a very quiet night, doubtless due to the weather being so cold
and also, because most kids around here have outgrown
the will to dress up and to visit the neighbourhood


I received this email from Mary a couple of years ago [almost]
The images that came with it have long since disappeared from the mailbox
but it's textual content has a very nice message


----- Original Message Subject: Fw: I thought of you










I thought of all of you when I read this; it is so touching ...


Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a sudden
you feel like doing something nice for someone you care for?
THAT'S GOD talking to you through the Holy Spirit.


Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to talk to?
THAT'S GOD wanting you to talk to Him.


Have you ever been thinking about somebody
that you haven't seen in a long time and then next thing you know
you see them or receive a phone call from them?
THAT'S GOD. There is no such thing as coincidence.


Have you ever received something wonderful that you didn't even ask for,
like money in the mail, a debt that had mysteriously been cleared,
or a coupon to a department store where you had just seen something you needed, but couldn't afford?
THAT'S GOD knowing the desires of your heart.


Have you ever been in a situation
and you had no clue how it was going to get better,
how the hurting would stop,
how the pain would ease,
but now you look back on it.
THAT'S GOD passing us through tribulation to see a brighter day.



Do you think that this e-mail was accidentally sent to you?


Dear God...

I know you're watching over me
And I'm feeling truly blessed
For no matter what I pray for
You always know what's best!

I have this circle of E-mail friends,
Who mean a lot to me;
Some days I "send" and "send,"
At other times, I let them be.

I am so blessed to have these friends,
With whom I've grown so close;
So this little poem I dictate to them,
Because to me they are the "Most"!


When I see each name download,
And view the message they've sent;
I know they've thought of me that day,
And "well wishes" were their intent.


So to you, my friends, I would like to say,
Thank you for being a part;
Of all my daily contacts,
This comes right from my heart.


God bless you all is my prayer today,
I'm honored
to call you "friend";
I pray God will keep you safe,
Until we write again.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Good afternoon. Hope your Sunday is going well. I had early church service to sing at so Benjamin and I got up at 5:30am. I'm going to crash early I think. That's if I get all the laundry done.

wow !!!

8 place settings phew!
Way too much for Mary and I [these days]

I will make a 'start' on glueing-up my horse today
as my connection is intermittently breaking off
[as it did yesterday... multiple TENS of times]

We are still awaiting the arrival of the telecom engineers
to fix our problem with the line since Teddy's last 'munch' on them
It is a blessing, that I can get here at all since then

hey Dave

Cheers for the advice, tried the oil, I prefer the fish! I was anti-inlammatories but they were starting to play havoc with the transplant. But hey, I'm still here and enjoying the extended life that He gave me!

Have a peaceful night!


What is good for one MAY NOT be good for all
but my deformation of finger joints has slowed up
one whole-lot, if-not, completely Bro'

You would need to swallow a whole lot of fish to play 'catch-up'

Yep.... they, gave me intestinal bleeding
and I became slightly anaemic to-boot

But Jesus gave out the fishes.... and we learned to extract their oils

Same to you with the peaceful night Bro'

I am doing a step challenge with my school we are competing against all the o ther schools in the district. I wear a step counter all day and the goal is a million steps per school. I have to use the treadmill or the elliptical trainer to make the step counter record the steps. I prefer the rowing maching but it doesn't count as steps. Consequently my ankles and lower back are stiff. I think mostly from the treadmill as it is impact while the other machine isn't. I have been taking Tylenol (Acetominaphen) when it get too sore.

Good luck, hope your school gets the million first! Is there a prize for the winning school, apart from soreness of many people!?
