• 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.

How many children do you have?

To MistyGail:

Start saving for their weddings. My daughter is getting married next year, and the battles are starting already. She wants a small wedding, with a fairly large reception. Her prospective MIL wants to invite the immediate universe, and is willing to take out a loan against her retirement fund to help finance everything.

I'm ready to crawl under a rock and not come out until 2005.

If her prospective MIL gets any more militant on this, I told my daughter I'd give her a thousand dollars CASH to just elope.


Peace,
~VOW

On our first date I jokingly asked my future wife this question: "Well, how many children should we have?" She quickly replied, "Oh, about six or seven, I suppose."

We were married soon after high school and now have seven children- six girls and one boy. We also have three grandsons. We are 44 years old and have been married 26 years.

In Christ, Patrick
