  • 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

Hey theywhosowintears,

I don't have a joke for you but I have a story

One day the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with a firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from the trip the father asked his son "How was the trip?"
"It was great dad"
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"oh yeah," said the son.
"So tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered " I saw that we have one dog and they have four.

We have a pool that reaches the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.

We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.

Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizion.

We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.

We have servants who serve us but they serve others.

We buy our food, but they grow theirs

We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added " Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing ? Makes you wonder what would happen if we gave thanks for everything we have instead of worrying about what we don't have

(From an article by Jeff Brown)

A POEM I WROTE...



'AGAPE LOVE'

BY HIS STRIPES,
WE ARE HEALED
BY HIS BLOOD,
THE WAY'S REVEALED
BY HIS LOVE,
WE ARE FILLED
BY HIS GRACE,
OUR NAMES ARE SEALED
BY HIS WALK,
HE LIT OUR PATH
BY HIS FORGIVNESS,
WE ESCAPE GOD'S WRATH
BY HIS STRENGTH,
WE HOLD ON
BY HIS MERCY,
OUR SINS ARE GONE...:clap:

you don't need to bless me, but according to the FAQs, this post will give you a blessing, so consider this a blessing from me without the expectation of a blessing in return. I feel like giving blessings away right now. A few minutes ago I had about 170 blessings and now I have none, so if you give them to me, they won't stay with me. Have a nice day :).

(Actually happened)

I had a dream once, set outside a monastery and a nice house. A monk came out of the monastary and got on a ride-on lawn-mower. You could tell from the way he smiled that he enjoyed mowing the monastery lawn. Next door, a middle-aged woman was sipping wine. She had rented a bunch of ride-on lawn-mowers, and had hired a bunch of chippendales to mow the lawn. She stood there, watching them mow the lawn, telling them when to turn around when they got to the edge of the lawn. The phone rang, and the women goes inside.

I see the monk turn around a corner of the monastary, heading away from the neighbor's lawn.

Then Wagner's Ride of the Valkries starts playing. The chippendales, without the women to tell them to turn, begin following the monk down the monastery yard. The monk looks back, does a double take, and tries to get the lawn mower to go faster because he thinks the muscular men are chasing him (and it does look like it).

After this dream, I woke up, and swore I'll never drink Merlot again.

I'll start drinking Porte instead. Or Schnapps.

i have a good joke... its a blonde joke so sorry if your a blonde.... its a bad stereotype... and no offense to you.... the blondes in the joke were very dumb though.. k here goes...

there was a blonde who walked into bar and put a picture frame down on a table and stared at it for five minutes. Then 2 more blondes walk in and the first blonde gets up and they start chanting "31 Days, 31 Days 31 Days" around the table. The bar tender looked at them strangely and didnt think much about it. Then 5 more blondes walked in and chanted with them. Then the bartender stopped what he was doing and watched them. Finally 4 more blondes walk in and chanted with them. THe bar tender stops them and asks them why they were chanting. The first blonde turns the picture frame around so he could see it. All it was was a picture of a cookie monster puzzle made for kids. He said he still didnt understand so the first blonde says,
"You see this puzzle. It only took all of us to put this puzzle together in 31 days. On the box it said 3 to 6 years."

ive got one for ya - "u gotta grab it by the haunches and ............hump it into submission. That's the only way you can play dodgeball." ~Patches O' Hoolihan

World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin down
Better change your tune
Reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby just spread your wings
Chorus:
We'll get higher and higher straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher leave it all behind
Run, run, run, away
Like a train runnin off the track
The truth gets left behind
And falls between the cracks
Standing on broken dreams
But never losing sight
Spread your wings
Chorus
So baby dry your eyes, save all the tears you've cried
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Oh baby we belong in a world that must be strong
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Solo
Chorus
Higher and higher who knows what we'll find
And in the end on dreams we will depend
Cause thats what love is made of ~Van Halen Lyrics to Dreams




Peter: "Hey look theres a message in my cereal it says 'Oooooooo'."
Brian: "Peter those are Cheerios." ~~Family Guy



The Power of Love...is a curious thing..it makes one man weep..another man say...................................Don't need money, don't take fame, don't need no credit card to ride this train..........that's the Power of Love --- Huey Lewis and the News

Umm...heres a quote I found a while ago that I really like.

I'd rather live my life
as if there is a God
and die to find out there isn't
Then to live my life
as if there was no God
and die to find out there is

If I find more quotes i'll let ya know^_^.
