• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

I suffer with depression which caused psychosis according doctors. I hear voices in my head and I have anxiety attacks. The joy of the Lord is my strength. We walk by faith not sight which means that we dont look at our hardship which is temporary but we look at eternal things instead.

Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.

I'm thankful for the beauty of creation because it reminds me that God gives us life. I'm thankful for food. Im thankful for the joy and love in my heart. I'm thankful for a hobby that gives me something fun to do.

The Joy of the Lord. I have mental illness that is hard to live with, but I have joy, peace, and love too. I can't explain this. I just walk by faith and not by sight. I'm looking to heaven and eternal life not the hardship of this world. Or I try to anyway. It's what we are supposed to do.
