  • 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

Dearest God in Heaven, Holy is your name above all things real and imaginable and invisible. I am reminded tonight of the time I have on this earth. Surely, I have less than 80 years to live, and that is being hopeful. I may only have one year, or one second. That is all up to you. I am in awe of your beauty and wonder, and as I sit here, quietly, while much of my city is asleep, I listen to the clock tick by, a constant reminder of my place in a realm that is much smaller in comparison to yours. How can I even try to fathom a place where time does not exist? How can I begin to fathom with my small mind a being so powerful and so Holy that He was not created by anyone but Himself? I mean, when my mind tries to go there, I hit a dead end. If God created everything I see, who created Him? This very question frustrates me to tears. But I know deeply in my heart that you are not mad that I ask this... because this very question in my heart is what makes my mind quiet down and my heart become silent. My soul flies high knowing that I am safe with You, in the arms of someone whose love for me is just as infathomable as the answers to my questions. I only pray that there were some way that I could worship you and be in your undivided presence one hundred percent of the time. But this cannot be so, for as hard as I try, I become preoccupied with this world- worldly beliefs, worldly posessions, worldly needs. I am not suicidal, Lord, but what I want more than anything is to be with You, and out of this world that distracts me from You. Thank You eternally for your Son, thank you eternally for my life, my soul, my chance to know you. You are my King forever and ever, no matter what. I love you.



Trying to put my thoughts into words, although words really don't express them... God is so awesome.:clap:
