  • 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

Not much time for de-stressing or feeding my own soul. After meeting the demands of my job and my children, I tend to have run out of money and my allotted 24 hours.

However, I am trying to change that. Two things I love to do are genealogy and refinishing/repurposing furniture and spaces. I also like to wander through thrift stores. I am hoping that while I am off on medical leave this summer, I can do some more genealogy and can work with my kids to get our house better organized so I have space to do some refinishing of the cool furniture I find sitting out for the curb for garbage pick up. My daughter also wants to be able to do this along with her love to sew (another space I want to set up for her while I am off). Mostly, I will have to be the brains and the pocket book for this program since my activity will be highly limited as I heal so I am dependent on my kids having time to help. The genealogy I can do independently.

Time to myself and rest.

I've also found that multiple trips to the grocery store with a short list each week after work is helpful. It provides a slow, casual walk through the store, a transition from work and home, and fresh food because I buy smaller amounts more frequently.
