• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

nothing but believe. The man would have stayed a paralytic. To believe is one thing; to live out that belief is another thing--a necessary thing.

James commands us, "Do not merely listen to the word...Do what it says" (James 1:22). Jesus could see their faith by what they did. Do others see your faith? To believe is one thing; to live out your belief is another. Let there be no doubt in the minds of those who know you. Let them see your faith.

Rules of Austin
  1. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Austin has its own set of traffic rules. There's no book about them. All you can do is get in your car and hope you survive to learn them.
2. All directions start with "Go down Mopac...'cause you don't want to get on I-35."
  1. <LI value=3>Burnet Road, Braker Lane, and Lamar Blvd. have no beginning and no end.
  2. It is impossible to go around a block and wind up on the same street that you started on. The Chamber of Commerce calls this a scenic drive.
  3. The 8:00am rush hour is from 6:30am to 9:30am. The 5:00pm rush hour is from 3:30p to 7:15pm. Friday's rush hour starts on Thursday morning.
  4. If you actually stop at a yellow light, then you cannot be from Austin. You may only apply your brakes when the end of a yellow light and the beginning of the red light create a burnt-orange hue. This is Longhorn Country, after all.
  5. If you like being an individual, don't even think of working for Dell. You'll be branded like cattle and made to walk all over town with your Dell Tag around your neck or clipped on to your belt loop. Ninety-eight percent of the people within a 200 mile radius work for Dell. When someone says "Michael Dell", Dell employees are trained to face Round Rock, hit their knees, put their face to the ground, weep, and rock back and forth.
  6. Just remember that Mopac is Loop 1; Capital of Texas Hwy is 360; and U.S.183 is Research Blvd., Anderson Lane, Ed Bluestein Blvd. and Old Bastrop Hwy; 2222 is Northland Dr. or Allendale Rd. or Koenig Lane. Don't try to figure it out. Just accept it. If you question the intelligence behind this naming convention, people will simply tilt their heads to the right and stare at you.
  7. If moisture is determined to be rain, and not sweat, all traffic must immediately come to a screeching halt; ditto for a female UT student applying eye-shadow across the street, or a flat tire three lanes over.
  8. DO NOT attempt to access any road during an apocalyptic event like snow or SXSW (South by Southwest Music Convention) or the ACL Fest or any one of the myriad running marathons held in Austin each year. Construction on I-35 AND U.S. 183 is a way of life and a permanent form of entertainment. Get used to it!
  9. Attn: All telephone solicitors...DO NOT correct my pronunciation when I say I live in Manchaca, TX. It's pronounced MAN-chack. Also realize that the city of Manchaca (MANchack) is in Hays and Travis Counties, and there is also a very long street in Austin named Manchaca (MANchack)! The city of Manor and Manor Rd. are pronounced 'MAY-ner'. We don't like corrections on that either. And, for God's sake, DON'T pronounce the 'E' at the end of Guadalupe. It's Gwada-LOOP and we like it that way!
  10. Burnet Road is pronounced BURN-it, not Bur-NET. Koenig Lane is pronounced KAE-nig not KOE-nig. The old airport (Robert Mueller) is pronounced Robert Miller and is on Airport Boulevard. The new airport (Austin-Bergstrom) is no where near Airport Boulevard. It's in the city of Del Valle pronounced Dell Valley!
  11. Keep in mind that the sloppily dressed 'hippie' in worn-out sandals and earrings is probably the latest IPO millionaire around here.
  12. Stay away from the Congress Ave. bridge at sundown if you do not like the thought of being in an Alfred Hitchcock movie. (Largest Mexican Free Tail Bat Population in the US)
  13. And, yes, we all know that there's a man in a teddy and a tiara on Congress Ave. It's Leslie and he probably makes more money than you do. (Surely, you have a homeless, celebrity drag queen that likes to run for Mayor where you live, too, right?)
**Now you won't have to wonder why there are so many bumper stickers that say 'Keep Austin Weird'!**

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

<H4 style="MARGIN: auto 0in">Psalm 91

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2
I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!"
3 </SPAN>For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
And from the deadly pestilence.
4 </SPAN>He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings you may seek refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.
5 </SPAN>You will not be afraid of the terror by night,
Or of the arrow that flies by day;
6 </SPAN>Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.
7 </SPAN>A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But it shall not approach you.
8 </SPAN>You will only look on with your eyes
And see the recompense of the wicked.
9 </SPAN>For you have made the LORD, my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place.
10</SPAN> No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent.
11 </SPAN>For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.
12 </SPAN>They will bear you up in their hands,
That you do not strike your foot against a stone.
13 </SPAN>You will tread upon the lion and cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.
14 </SPAN>"Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.
15 </SPAN>"He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
16 </SPAN>"With a long life I will satisfy him
And let him see My salvation."
</SPAN>
