  • 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.

I just talked to my dad on the phone, he is on a work trip in chicago this week. He told me he's had an exciting week, they announced that the Vice President of IT position is open (or something like that), and then the President of the company took my dad aside and asked him to consider the job. This is great news! But...(of course there's a but), the job is in San Antonio, Texas and we live in Minnesota. I don't live at home anymore, but my 3 brothers spend 2 weeks with mom and 2 weeks with dad every month, and my sister lives with my dad. My dad and I are very close, and the thought of him moving away seriously breaks my heart. I want him to be happy, but I am scared of having him so far away. He said he would see if he could go there 2 weeks and come back to MN 2 weeks (that would be strange). I said that with an IT position you'd think he could tele-commute, or just do the job from here in MN. I don't know what to think, I don't want to be selfish, but the thought of my dad moving cross country brings tears to my eyes! :cry: :cry: :cry:

I'm like you, JillLars, I'd want him to stay. Do you really think he would be happy with the new job and be so far away from his family? Really now? Is this executive job honestly worth that? Hmmmmmmm. I pray he thinks about it long and hard and, of course, I will join in and pray for God's will to be done......but I hope he stays.

Thanks so much for the prayers everyone!

Shetland Rose- I don't think he would be able to move across country, I know that he loves us kids so much, not to mention his whole family lives within 6 miles of each other right now, and he just started dating a nice lady! I think it would be great if they would let him do like half time there and half time here, or just tele-commute from Minnesota. I just got kinda scared at the thought of my Dad being so far away, but I think everything will be alright. :) Thanks for your prayers!
