• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Go ahead, try me!

Why did you write "The Real Ariel" beneath your username? Which is also "The Real Ariel."

Doesn't seem like a particularly good use of your time.
Consistency and emphasis. If you learn nothing else from my page, it is that I AM the real Ariel.

(Real talk though, I don't remember entering it and I'm guessing when I did so I was confused and thought it was my username.)

When did you come to Christ? :)
My parents taught me about Christ when I was very young and they told me I had to make a decision if I wanted to believe and follow him or not. I went back and for several months I prayed to Jesus if he was real to send me a bird to touch. This sounds ridiculous and far fetched, but one day we were walking in a parking lot of an eating chain and I saw a cloud that looked like an angel. I took this as a sign that God was going to give me what I asked for. At that moment I see a bird land on a car. I walked over to it and it stood there as I pet it. I accepted Christ on the spot.

Since then my faith has of course become much more educated and built a stronger foundation, but that day was when it started for me.

Not far fetched at all, I would have believed too. I'm very much a lover of nature so I can relate.

Thanks for sharing.

What is the most important of your goals?

Also, if faith and logic seem to clash, which do you choose?
My most important goal is to be a light on a hill and to try and live in such a way that I am a reflection of the kingdom of God and His love.

Definitely faith. I'm not always the most logical

I'm an open book. Love to talk and will answer just about anything (though may pm if I deem it something that shouldn't be on public forum forever).

Hit me with your best shot!
What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? Feel free to pm if you think it is inappropriate to post publicly.

That depends... African or European swallow? Either way, probably PM. Don't want to start any controversy.
