~*~Do you make friends on CF? ~*~

[dayhiker]

Yup, it takes time to keep in touch and upto date with what is happening. I've moved a lot of times in my life. I've not had any of those acquaintances keep in touch with me. There are a few I have worked to keep in touch with. I wish I had worked harder to keep in touch with more now. Maybe when I retire I can hunt some of them down. My father did that and reconnected with a lot of relatives and friends in the last 15+ years.

I have made some guinue friends here on CF, in fact I call my dear true friends here my family in Christ cause I don't have a real family that cares about me as much as my brothers and sisters in Christ on here. Some people have come and gone here but others have stuck by my side for the long haul! I HOPE and PRAY that you find the same. ((HUGS))

I will make myself available for friendship...but you have to get in before the end of the year.

Good luck, and God bless.

Yes, there are a couple that I converse with on other sites and exhchange emails with. Others hold a special virtual place in my heart, and have helped me more than "brick & mortar" christians. Others I try to avoid (just like in real life)

Here is my formal request, so now tell me.....are we friends? Did I make the list (and I don't mean Schindler's )?

I'm new here, and I hope to get better acquainted with the folks in here, but I'm not sure that "being single >30" is enough reason to hold a group together. I think these places need an anchor-topic, to work.

Ten years ago, I was on a much smaller "Christian Discussion" forum which was a Tab on a Y2K web site. The Christians that met there ministered to the "seekers" (and, yes, even the atheist antagonists) realizing that that little place was perhaps the only "church" they might ever attend. Oh, it was a wonderful group! We prayed, privately, for them, by email and talked on the phone, now and then. Three of us became such good friends in there that we met once, in person, in Montana.

Honestly, I talked with that group of about 30 people on-line more than I did my own family, in those days. It was a terrific experience; forced me to really dig into my Bible for biblical answers to questions from people who did not even own one.

But it probably worked because it was so small... not so spread out, like this place is. It's hard to keep track of others in a place this large without feeling like you're "stalking" someone whose posts you enjoy reading, for example. I'll bet the people who've been here the longest will tell you that they maintain friendships with only a handful of people.

Good answer, Dayhiker.

Sure, we can be friends, as long as exitstageright doesn't object. I know you two have a thing...for eachother. So sure, welcome to my life as a friend of mine. Your life will change now as you will accumulate more firends as a result of being a freind of mine. I see a bright future for you.

Good! I need a bright future lol. As far as exit is concerned, as I told you we are like oil and water, iron and clay get it? the only thing we may have going is that we talk on these threads, so I don't need his approval for anything capiche?

 

[Red79]

Hi, I had a long break from CF, but I am back now ... and I have been single for two and a half years. I just wondered if you make friends on CF or just superficial acquaintances. I am not so good at making comments on others' posts yet. I guess I am just browsing some forums that are ''new'' to me. Wish you all a blessed day.

Hi Unn.. I remember you from way back when I joined in BE.
I , too, took a 2 year break and just returned here on staff, and also decided to branch out in other areas and try to make more friends. I have been blessed to make several really good friends that I have talked to on the phone even. I don't take things like that lightly. God has been good to me here at CF.

Over the years, I have met several friends on this site. I haven't posted much in the past few months, but still appreciate this way of God allowing me to meet other Christians.
