• 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.

  • 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

Yeah, the complete "Narnia" series. My husband and I saw the film before Christmas and I told him that I had read "The lion, the witch and the wardrobe" years ago, but had never read the rest. I just started the prequel story "The wood between the worlds" and so far I really like it.

I got a few and bought a couple today with a gift card:

- Letters From A Nut (Ted L. Nancy)...it's a book full of random letters the author has written to all these different companies and the replies he received - pretty funny stuff
- The Ralph Wiggum Book
- From Potter's Field (Patricia Cornwell)
- Therapy (Jonathan Kellerman)

I got a book written by a group of missionaries I know, it's about the history of the Latin American Missions Program (a program in my diocese that sends missionaries and workers to the Third World to live with the people and work with them). Since I was involved in a program that went to the Dominican Republic a few years ago, my name is mentionned in it. Apparently, they had the families of participants in that program and suggested the book as a Christmas gift for us.
