  • 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.

Helllloooo :)

HELLO EVERYONE!

I have briefly lurked this site before although it has been about a year since I have been on. I am bored and trying to ignore the fact that I am STILL pregnant so I thought I would take time to re-introduce myself since I am always full of questions and may be posting on here :)

A brief history, I was raised a mix of Baptist and Pagan (kinda awkward) and for most of my adult life I identified myself as a Pagan. Around this time last year my husband broke the news to me that he had found the Lutheran church and when he got back from Afghanistan he got confirmed and starting going to church weekly with our daughter. After months of fighting I was getting really annoyed with how happy church was making him and decided to go prove his Pastor wrong, so I started taking the Catechism Classes one on one. After months of harassing the poor man (and my very patient husband) and making them explain things to me over and over again something happened and I found myself WANTING to be in church and in class, and found that not only was I feeling happier within myself, but also my marriage was suddenly doing better than ever. After LOTS of praying and getting over the battle that this WAS something I believed and wanted I got confirmed with my loving and patient husband standing next to me (and our 2 year old rolling on the Alter....haha).

Anyway, I still have no idea what I am reading about 95% of the time when I pick up a Bible and I still find myself asking my husband questions almost daily but you have to start somewhere right?

Also I am 9 months pregnant with our awesome baby boy who I would LOVE even more if he would decide to come out. Anytime. Right now would be great actually... LOL

Can't wait to get to know everyone!!!

Look who's back to the website! ;-)

The bible classes we attend help and of course the fine people of this forum will help. Our Pastor is always available too. Though being happy with church is a great thing, the truth professed in word and sacrament renews and strengthens us. I'm glad we go together. :)

Hi Becca and welcome. Glad to have you here. Asking questions is how you find things out.

My daughter is due in a couple of weeks herself and is getting to that point where she wants to meet her baby. Their first one came 3 months early so she really is not complaining . . . too much that is.
