• 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.

When your dreams transform into an illusion
Your towering hopes into a hallow stare

Sounds of laughter drowned now by a screeching siren
Fields of flowers wither to dried weeds
Friends and family fade into a tattered photograph
Carefree school days enter sleepless nights

Eternity rings louder, the grave larger

Can't you hear?
God is calling.

Nice meaningful poem. Its so true we all have broken dreams, friends and fractured families. The older we get the certianity of death comes closer. But Jesus Christ has spoken for those who trust and follow Him there is no reason to fear. But we all do have some anxiety about the transition from life to being with Jesus Christ. Does it cause us concern as none of has died yet? Yes it does.

Yes, the poem is rather directed to those who are apart from Life and Hope in Christ and all they have invested in...fades.
