  • 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.

I just have to tell someone. God has been doing such amazing things lately.
And this morning, on my way to work, He protected me from totaling my car.

I came around a curve (I live in the mountains) and suddenly a big deer bolted right across my path. I had about 10 feet to react and brake.
All I had time for, was to cry out, "Oh, Jesus!" and it was over.

I should have hit that thing. I have no clue how I didn't.
In fact, the trajectory of that deer went right through my right headlight.
All I can guess is that it jumped just right to jump over that corner of my car.
But it didn't jump. I only saw it running. I can't understand it.

I know, my '99 Corolla is little, but it's not that tiny.
It should have been totaled.
Except for God.
I've been in awe all day over this.

I have had the same experience. Twice I should have hit large deer that were right in my path on the nighttime interstate. Both times the deer seemed to vanish just before the impact that I was certain was imminent. Thank you Lord. :bow:

What if it hit your car ? Will you still be praising God ?
May Jesus bless you all HalleluYAH
I would like to think I would.. but really, only God knows the answer to your question.

I certainly don't deserve such favor from Him... But today, He showed me favor. And I will praise and glorify Him for what He has done.
