• 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.

Hello on this sunny afternoon, :)
I read these lovelly words and want to share them with you.
Deuteronomy 8:16. The Lord fed the children of Israel with a basic diet, why? Well it says 1. To HUMBLE them 2. To TEST them and 3. To BLESS them, it says to do good to them at the LATTER end.
Look, if your in PAIN now ( emotional or depressed, discouraged) then look up,
God is letting you feel low, to test you but the blessing and rejoicing will come. JOB suffered a lot, and God blest His life at the end so much. MAY BE the time for you has finally come to be BLEST beyond all your dreams. i pray it will be so. Bless you take care JOHN

Thats cool I remember something my commander in the Air Force used to keep on her wall. Its been three or four years since I seen it so I know I wont get it all right.

One day I was regretting the past and dreading the future when Jesus spoke to me.
I asked him why when I look at my past I see all my past mistakes, and when I looked into the future I saw all the ones I havent made yet.
Jesus replied
When you look in the past with all your mistakes and errors, you are alone for I am not there
and when you look into the future with all its fear and doubt, you are alone for I am not there
I am here, now




Ok I know I probably screwed that up one way or another but the jist is still the same. Its just harder to live it than it is to preach it, at least thats my experience anyways.

If you can't feel any better, use me as your bravery-cry: At least I'm not allergic to the world & stuck at home like BubbleGirl!

No, I'm not being egotistical. People who meet me say it puts their lives into perspective. It's nice to know there is someone out there worse than us, who is surviving!

For me, I feel more sorrow for people with terminal illnesses. I may be restricted, but I SHOULD (things going to plan, and I stay safe) live my life out.

If you can't shake off pain, I suggest volunteering somewhere and taking the focus off your own pain for a while.
