  • 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.

Help!!

I am sooo sorry to start the first post to this website with a crisis, but i am really having a serious problem. My oldest daughter through some rather odd circumstances has had her twin two and a half year old babies taken from her. It would take forever to explain. Any way they have been in foster care for about a month now and social services is talking about a longer time then that. She has a court date on monday so the Judge may decide differently. Any way my crisis right now is that I want to do everything that I can now to get my grandbabies home with my husband and myself instead of foster care and them being with strangers. My husband on the other hand wants no part of it. I don't know what to do. I can't stand that my grandsons are with strangers and my husband seems to be only thinking of himself. We are both VERY active in church and try our best to follow Jesus, but I can't help but think that he is not behaving in any form of Christian way. He wont budge on this at all. I am (God forgive me) about to tell him to hit the rode!! Please help!!! I want to do what God wants but I don't know what he wants. I am of course praying frantically.

It sounds as though you are going through a really tough time right now and I will keep you in my prayers. I hope that you are able to work through this with your husband. I do know that there are sites that speak to the issue of grandparents raising their grandchildren but I am afraid I don't know the url. I will pray for you! :prayer:

Welcome to CF!!!
Its a blessing to have you here!!!:angel:

I'm so sorry to hear of your situation. I agree with you that your grandchildren should be with you and your husband. But hopefully on Monday the judge will give them back to your daughter.
I will pray for you and your family.
