• 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

Hey :wave: I think you'll enjoy it here. Most forums are very friendly though it can be difficult to get to know people because the site membership is so large! This is one of CF's problems but also one of its strengths. As long as you stick to the rules you shouldn't get any questions off the mods, but they are quite strict at applying the rules (this isn't criticism, mods, just an observation) so try not to break them and think before you post. Just a word of caution - don't let me dampen your enthusiasm.

It's a big site so I suggest you just stick generally to the forums you are interested in, I'm sure nobody is interested in them all. Erwin has made a great site here though.

I won't offer to be a mentor cos it would feel strange mentoring an older woman! :D

Steve :)

There is a Women's forum and Parenting forum you may want to check out.
There are a lot of great, friendly folks on the board.
I have gotten to know a number of folks personally and count them as "true" friends.

Hi, pleased to meet you, and we welcome you to CF!

Here is one of my favorite poems for you.

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuhr
