• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

I've been a nerd all my life; I wrote computer games for the Texas Instruments TI/99-4 (not the 4A, sigh) in the 80s when I was a teen

then I worked for Intel for 17 years, and only through my Granddaddy's (he was a Southern Baptist preacher who worked for the Home Mission Board) prayers, I had the privilege of watching the Holy Spirit work His magic through my hands such that I saw two Intel Achievement Awards with (sigh) my own name on it, when of course _I_ had nothing whatsoever to do with it

then I worked for Eleven Software and then Kryptiq which then became Enli Health Intelligence

then an election happened and I changed careers; I began working for the United Nations but I can't say more than that for obvious reasons (no I did not just roll my eyes thx)

anyway

I pray that we all glorify God through our interactions here and everywhere in the Internet virtual universe and the real universe, too, Amen, God Bless you

Hey Effrem, I'm also a nerd or geek or whatever. Working in IT and trying to become a network engineer one day.

Sounds like you have a lot of experience! I'm always down to talk tech.

God Bless You!
