  • 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 finally put one together. I hope it's not too bad. Let me know what you think.

---------------------------------------------


I'm honestly seeking out my best friend who will stand beside me and also allow me to stand beside him. I am completely and utterly in love with the idea of a man who will sweep me off my feet. I'm looking for a man who knows how to treat a woman well; with respect and honesty. I like to have the door held open for me; it shows that I'm worth a little extra effort. A man who embraces traditional male roles is so, so sexy. That doesn't mean I believe a woman should never help with chores, either. A love of Jesus is required.

Most of my friends would say that I have a very strong and humorous personality, but am easygoing at the same time. I'm extremely compassionate. I enjoy making people laugh, and will sometimes go to great lengths to make it happen.

I know my profile says I don't have [biological] children, but to be clear: I currently have two foster children; a four year old boy and a five year old girl.

The types of things I do in my spare time are scrapbook, sing off-key, poke around on the internet, camp, fish, hike, read, and random other things. To add to my nerdiness -- in alphabetical order; I love the beauty within: angels, beaches, Bibles, Bible study, black, black and white, black hair, charismatic, children, Christ, Christian, coffee, coloring, coloring books, country music, dalmations, dancing in the rain, dark eyes, dark hair, dogs, dreaming, dreams, emergent churches, england, fairies, faith, freaks, ghosts, glasses, God, good friends, gothic architecture, greece, handwriting, helping, hope, india, intercessory prayer, internet, ireland, israel, italy, Jesus Christ, journaling, Judaism, kentucky, kids, learning, letters, life, louisiana, love, missions, missouri, myspace, mystery novels, nondenominational churches, ocean, online forums, oregon, paranormal stories, passion, photography, photos, piercings, pink, poetry, prayer, priests, punks, puppies, raindrops on my skin, reading, red dead grass, religion, rock, saint bernards, scotland, scripture, sex within marriage, sharing Christ with others, silver, stories, supernatural events, tattoo design, tattoos, the Father, the Holy Spirit, the Son, the Trinity, thunderstorms, tornadoes, washington, web design, weddings, worshiping my Abba, writing, yellow.

I typically practice my faith by loving the Lord my God with all of heart, mind and strength. I follow that up with loving my neighbor the way (or better) I love my self.

Music wise, I enjoy a lot of different genres. I have yet to find a rap artist that I enjoy, though. My favorite artists are Dolly Parton, Miranda Lambert, George Strait, Blake Shelton, and Jewel. Movies: I'll watch anything, but it better draw me in within the first ten minutes, or it's over. :p Television: I don't watch it a lot, but I like shows dealing with real forensic cases, home improvement show and random other shows. My [foster] kids watch the Disney Channel a lot, so it's on quite a bit.

Okay...I've rambled on and on now. Just a couple more things, okay? If you are married, a racist, looking for sex, or any combination of those three...we're not meant to be. Just move along until you find a girl that likes that. ;) Thank you for reading this, if you made it this far. :p I hope it didn't bore you.

looks good to me, Sara :)

I know those things are never easy to write out, but I'm glad you wrote your own. Only you can really express yourself properly after all. And your personality does come through in what you've written :)

What site are you signing up with? Christian Cafe I hope :holy:

I have a profile with them, LT, but I haven't even been able to talk to anyone yet. No one contacted me in the first three days (free) and I'm not paying. Maybe when they have another free time come around.

That is on POF, but I'm going to copy/paste it to CC.

I think it's very well written. It really spells out your interests and desires. :thumbsup: I wish you the best of luck on this. :)

Sara,
I like what you wrote, but I would (personally) cut down on that loooooong list of things you like. Just cause the average guy is not going to read all that, and he might feel a little overwhelmed by what seems like TMI. If you don't agree with that, then don't change it! It needs to represent you, not me :)

Also, I've had the same problem with CCafe, where it tells me that my username or password don't exist right after I sign up. I dunno what that's all about.

Lastly! Don't forget that OKCupid and Zoosk are also free sites :)

Oh! Thanks for the reminder to check my OKCupid and update that profile. Zoosk I didn't really like because it keeps trying to connect with my facebook. I don't know why it does that.

Vicky, I cut the list to this:

The types of things I do in my spare time are scrapbook, sing off-key, poke around on the internet, camp, fish, hike, read, and random other things.

Is that still too long, do you think?

I love ya, but yeah, I still think it's too long lol. I'd say cut it to no more than 20 things. You might think "But I love WAY more than 20 things!" and that's fine :) You don't want to spill ALL of who you are before a guy even speaks to you. You just want enough to catch their interest and make them think "WOW, I wonder what else I can find out about her..." Trust me, it's hard for me to find the balance between 'tell em just enough' and 'tell em too much' as well. I'm constantly revamping profiles.

I don't mind cutting some out; I'm just having a HORRIBLE time trying to decide which ones. :D

Decision making is something that doesn't come easy. hehe.
