  • 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.

Morning all,

Well I woke up to a very sunny day. Going to go and pull some more weeds and lay some cedar chips down. I want to plant impatients, however, it goes down to 37 at night and I am afraid frost may kill them.

Hope all have a blessed day.
God bless

bossy cat is stubborn! meekone and all, thank you for your prayers.. i can't figure out what God is doing.. the daughter that is being tested--i am truly hating to say or type the big c word, it clenches my gut--is our rebellious daughter.. i keep asking God, "what is going on?? did you make her rebellious so that we would have to have her tested & find this quickly, and get rid of it?? or is she rebellious, and you are answering our prayers of bringing her to you & humbling her out by making her physcially sick??? telling us that there is only so much we can do, let you take care of the rest? what in the world is going on???"

the doctor assures us we got it in the very earliest of stages.. he says that it is rare for a person this young--and he has voiced that much of her rebelliousness could be due to her hormones being out of whack because of where problems started.. --we know it is not in her blood stream, & so far it is not in any tissue surrounding the polyps. but the polyps were definitely cancerous. i am trying not to get graphic, bear w/me... rest looks fine (of "graphic" areas.. ) there is a tumor also. the surgery will tell us whether that tumor is cancerous.. in her fear she has gotten even more rebellious and dangerous.. pray that we find the right words and actions to really calm her down. she is going nuts! in one breath she outrages me, cuz' she is not only being a danger to herself, which is really heartbreaking, but to others, which makes me want to grab and shake her instead of hug her... but in the next i just want to hold my little girl and cry my eyeballs out for her or with her, because she wants to be so strong & brave. she has on her mask of "doesn't hurt" personality that she has, cuz' she doesn't want us to worry about her. we have such emotional high needs kiddos in our home & she sometimes feels like she is faded in the background--which to a point, she is right--but not because others are such high needs, but because it's all a part of her getting older. you can't have the power of being an adult w/out responsibility of being an adult in our house.. doesn't work that way...

i hope this makes sense... it may not.. lol!

pray for my youngest son, the 6 year old.. he had a fever last night, and he has been on at least 15 days of antibiotics... he has till july 6 to go before we find out what doc says..

really honestly, this is really all God, i promise.. i know he has a plan. i know we all have a future.. in some bizarre way, this is going to circle around, and is part of the prayer my husband and i have prayed for years--that ALL 8 of our children become dedicated sold out Christians for him... (shrug) if this is how he does it, amen. (i am practicing that shrug and that statement! lol! )

psalms 65:9-10

you care of the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. the steams of God are filled w/water to provide the people w/grain, for you have ordained it. you drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it w/showers and bless its crops.

You sound like an amazing woman of God. I know that the Lord is rejoicing because you have not lost your faith in Him. Keep putting your trust in Him and lay this all in His hands, He will most assuredly help you and your family through this very trying situation. May I make a suggestion? How about putting on some nice music softly throughout the house, if someone, especially your 16 year old daughter asks you why are you doing that (if you don't do it often), just tell her you think the house needs a little music.....after a while...say a half hour or so, go and give her that hug that you want to do so badly...wait for the time to be right and just do it....she may be waiting for that too. I pray that the Lord helps this situation. I pray that the stress gets relieved in your household somehow. This is an extremely hard time for you and for your daughter and for your whole family, not something that any of you take lightly in your hearts as you go on with every day life, and it will effect you all greatly on different levels. I pray that God will help give you some clear answers with the results that come back. I pray that you come through this with a greater understanding of whatever it is that He wants you to know. Praise the Lord that you have not forgotten Him through all of this, that is the main thing to keep in mind as He is key to everything. I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers, including your 6 year old boy too. :hug:

Hi! I am home briefly after a senior awards ceremony...I didn't win but I got to stand up and be known for the division I ratings Xavier Chorale and concert band recieved in May of 2005.

I cried a lot my last day. I hope that is average. I just had quite an attachment to the school and I am graduating on Sunday.
