  • 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

Hey Everyone I am going to propose on Easter. I have had some mixed thoughts on whether it is the perfect day or whether it would be disrespectful. It seems like the significance of the day would be perfect since it would remind us of sincerity, dedication, purity, and the whole idea of a turning point and the beginning of a new era. What do the rest of you think?

Well all: Here's a little update. Today was the big day. Looks like I'll be spending a lot more time in this subforum lately!! Here's a copy of the post from LTR.

Well, Thanx all for your support. We are now engaged. All happened at 7:00 am this morning. I made her breakfast in bed at her parents house. I made French toast with strawberries; her favorite. I had it all set up and everything on nice flower trays before I woke her up. She was very thankful. Then I told her "I have a surprise". I handed her a large easter basket full of candies and thoughts from our past. At this point she was really excited. She said "Thank you so much", to which I replied, "I have one more surprise". I reached into the basket and uncovered an easter tin from under the easter grass in the basket. "Close your eyes". I opened the tine pulled out the ring and opened the blue ring box and said "Ok open up". When she opened her eyes I asked her the question. She immediately cried, and squeaked out a yes. I put the ring on her finger and showed her the final surprise: four bags of custom printed M&M's (her favorite). Half of them read; "Will you marry me", and the other half read; "Kathy & Ben 2007". The rest of the day was spent with family, and consuming three Resurrection Day feasts at my parent's house, her parent's house, and my grandmother's house. What a day!! God Bless & thanx for the support!
