  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

So anyone remember me? Probably not but I am here for a little bit. I have to tell y'all I moved and I don't have internet where I am living but will be getting it back in a month or two. I sure missed y'all even if none of you remember moi. ^_^ I am getting baptized the Sunday after next but I am absolutely frightened of our Pastor. Don't ask why. I don't know why. I only approach him to ask him one question then leave quite hastily and I never look him in the face or in the eyes. Its not just the pastor its any authoratative person in my life. It used to be my Father-In-Law and that took almost a year for me to get used to not being fearful. Now its my teacher (I go to school) and my Pastor. I am just terrified of authority anyhow.

Also I want to pray out loud every once in awhile but I never do. I am afraid of that too. 8 or 10 weeks ago I got saved and I still can't pray out loud, only in my head. I accepted Jesus outloud and in my heart but other than that I don't pray out loud.
I sure hope God listens to prayers said in the mind. :o

Anyhow I will get over that fear soon. I am just a nervous person.

Excited about baptismal just afraid. I don't know why.

Oh yeah and have you guys seen the commercial where like a teen aged girl is looking at something and points to it and says "Well that's gay" and then two lesbians feel sad and then the commercial says "Be careful what you say or you might hurt someone's feelings," So now we're covering up and protecting people's sin? I know its not tactful to call an object gay but at the same time come on........:doh:Next time I call something that's high priced "Highway Robbery" I better be careful...someone who just got done robbing a bank might be standing behind me and start crying. :doh:
Am I just a complete insensitive jerk or does anyone else see my point?

Well anyway I migt come back in a week to check on things because I am using a library computer right now.

God bless you all! Happy New Year too!

I understand that, I felt the same way. Except I wasn't even excited, just daunted.:o It is a big step, but pray for direction and guidance from God and trust Him only.

And welcome back! You probably don't know me either because I only started posting recently. Nice bunch of peeps here. :)

Watchya been up to?

The house is still a nightmare, but we're slowly making progress. We're hoping to have the downstairs suite finally ready for renters in about two months. Then we can get going on the upstairs renos.

Aw, yeah, the renos are a nightmare!:mad: I can't remember if I was here when I just had my kitchen re-done, like a couple of months ago, man it was a pain. I had to block off the back door and close up the wall to turn the porch into the laundry so the kitchen could be expanded with more benchtops......

<------ lol^_^

And it costs a fortune, huh? Nightmare. But still happy it's done.^_^ I have extra room now so that is nice. So yeah, I get your drift about the "nightmare" aspect, I hope you can get it done for your renters, that should ease things for you.....

Apart from my nightmare kitchen I just been working hard really, but I've missed the peeps here so much, tis great to see so many familiar and friendly peeps again.:hug:
