  • 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.

howdy Colleen. What kind of tea was it?


Brinny. Good afternoon. how are you? My friend got me some fancy good quality loose tea for Christmas and it was so good I went and picked up a lot more. Wasn't sure what I would like so I'm trying nine different kinds. Most are herbal or rooibos. Only a couple are black teas and this particular one I'm trying to brew right is made of white tea buds and organic strawberries. Very good, smells like wild strawberries but if I brew it too long it can have that bitter after taste. I managed to get it right on my third try and now it's just lovely. I'm drinking tea instead of eating a snack or drinking a diet soda. Just trying to enjoy a healthier life style. So far it's working great.

I had never heard of chocolate mint tea...so when i saw it in the store, i bought it.

My sister passed away. She had cancer. She's now in the arms of our Abba and suffers no more. His grace is sufficient and is sustaining us.

I'm truly sorry you are going through a difficult time. I don't mind listening or chatting. I'll be praying. Grief can be difficult.

I woke up exhausted this morning but was able to get out this afternoon to do a few errands and the sun shining was a real treat. I feel pepped up now. I had another cup of tea when I got back. This time it was a black tea with raspberries and coconut. Yum. It's a keeper.

Awww thank you, and yes, grief is unpredictable, and never ever what you expect....it is what it is.....and God, in His grace, sustains us....and as it says in Ecclesiastes, there is a time for everything:

"A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;"~Ecclesiastes 3:4

And each step, and turn of the way on this journey, he has our hand, and always, underneath are the everlasting arms.

You are a dear soul.

God bless you.

((((hug))))
