  • 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

A have this book that I have to complete for Confirmation and one thing that I have to do is encourage someone, so I'm encouraging you with this story::clap:

Footprints in the sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.
Other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life
when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
so I said to the Lord,
"You promised me, Lord, that if I followed You, You would walk with me always.
But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of prints in the sand.
Why, When I have needed You most, You have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,
"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints is when I carried you."

Oh, and I'm new.
So hi.
:crossrc: If you reply to this and say that it worked and I can go on to the next step of the Confirmation preparation, then I'll give you a blessing point. And it has to be soon-I'm tired. Or pm me. But like only the first two people i'll give it to.:sleep:

It reminds me of a DMX song, The Convo:
"See that light down the road, it's goin' guide you there/Two sets of footsteps, I was right beside you there."

"But what about them times I only saw one?/Those were the times that I was
under the gun"

"I carried you my son/Led you to safety/It just wasn't your time to face me."
