  • 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

this is something I wrote today when I wasn't feeling well...better now :)
(eh I'm not a big writer but hope it encourages you :))

waves of problems
big heavy drops hurting me
pressing me down,
making me wanna quit.
I can't even count them

But I know someone who does.

there's so much pain
I can't look above it (or do you say over ?? anyway.)
making me feel discouraged

But I know someone who's bigger 4 real
watching over me

there's so much to deal with
I don't know where to start
I just wanna turn my face

But someone's showing me the way
A bright star shining thru the darkness
the dark clouds making everything look so hopeless.

I'm angry and bitter
don't really expect my wounds to ever heal (mhh)

But when He gently takes my hand
I feel it flowing thru me
mending my broken heart
Healing and Love

I'm so tired O wish I could just sleep,
hide in dreams

But my father in heaven makes the sun shine over me

(today was such a cool day w/ a completely blue sky & the warm sun...
we don't get that too often around here & it still reminds me of God's love in a cool way... well sunshine's pretty special to me :))

bad memories, I'm feeling so lost in a twisted world of thoughts
I don't understand

what kind of circumstances could divide me from Your love thats in Jesus :)

(I'm not ignoring things anymore
this won't destroy me
I'm handing it over
my destiny's in Your hands
to be in Your arms
with You forever)

i had goals, now i dream                                                                            

i had laughter,now i just grin

i had thoughts, now i just feel

my hope, shattered, my faith, wavering, my Jesus, where art thou?

 

i was bound, now i am free

my soul was dark, now its lit

my heart was weak, now it beats

my hope, renewed, my faith, stronger, my Jesus, my all
