  • 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.

God Lead Us ,

Long story short, just recently, last wednesday, right after I got done doing my paper route. The timing belt broke on our car. After having a mechanic look at the car, the timing belt that broke practicly sezied the engine up, and broke a few pistens in the engine.

Being the only car in the family, and with a job of paper routes, it dont sound good. We are looking for another car, but the places want a down payment of 1000 dollars or more. We have found one place that is willing to help, but they are trying to find a lender that will give a lower down payment, or none.

Also I applied to jobs localy intown that I can walk to, but being the small country town we are in, jobs are few. Family and friends are helping with what they can. Even my boss is letting us use her van for awhile, but for only a short time.

Oh God lead us. We know if you close one door another will open. We still wont give up and will always trust and have faith in you. :prayer:

Ohhhh noooo! :( Same thing happened to me on my way to play fiddle at a "dance", at a wedding in Minneapolis. I was broke down on the highway, and long story short -- 2 days later - a friend came and got me, and the car was towed close to 125 miles back home (after I had paid $250.00 for replacing the timing belt. :cry: It was a 4-cylinder 1987 Ford Escort, and 3 of the cylinders were shot as a result of the timing belt breaking.

Will be praying for a "new set of wheels for you". I can absolutely relate to this request here.
