  • 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.

Please pray for my Mom if you would. She has been in and out of the hospital for the past two weeks. But today they finally decided to put in a pacemaker. They transported her to another hospital this morning and now am waiting to hear if it is going to be today or tomorrow.

"Christianity doesn't deny the reality of suffering and evil. .....Our hope....is not based on the idea that we are going to be free of pain and suffering. Rather it is based on the conviction that we will triumph over suffering. ----Brennan Manning
I like that quote Annie, it will help me.

Oh, I sure will:hug:
That brings back the memory of when they put one in mother. They took her to a hospital in Seattle that specializes in cardiac care, they did a good job, I don't recall the surgery being that long either. Please keep us posted.

Indescribably painful I am sure.

Isaiah 53:4-5

4 Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

even in knowing that when I seek HIM, I find myself in deep tears... broken, feeling HIS sorrows... but the tears eventually stop... it is as when we get close to HIM we get to share in HIS sufferings for a moment as HE heals us.... pats us on the rear and sends us off on our way again... I find I am running to HIM more and more not wanting to leave HIM... even though HE never leaves me nor forsakes me, I want to run to HIM more and more.... and then there are times I just am too weak to run to HIM... so I guess that is where rest comes.... I would not like to be my own father....

I know what you mean, you want to be there, it does not seem as scary when you right there either. She is right though, she will not be there long, it is a very benign surgery, especially if it is just a "basic" pacemaker. She will be out in no time.:hug:

Dear Father God, we come to You lifting up Annie's mother in prayer. We ask that You will please guide and help the doctors', nurses, and all the care givers working with her. We pray that the surgery will be a success, and that she will be out of the hospital soon.

We also pray and ask for comfort for her daughter Annie and the rest of her family, may they all be aware of Your loving presence during this stressful time.

We thank You Lord and give You all the glory...........Amen and Amen.:pray:
