• 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.

Now Sibelius trumps all... Or maybe I'm just partial...not so religious though.
Haha...this guy in my piano accompanying class...he's like nuts over Sibelius. You play the first few bars of anything by Sibelius, and he'll get this dreamy look on his face. It's hilarious.

Darn... my secret brother has been discovered...
In Finland when they play Finlandia a lot of the older people cry because it is a very patriotic song and was composed during the war. My grandmother said it just reminds her of all the guys that never came back from the front and it makes her sad.

Bah, Beethoven is Romantic! Mozart rules Classical, and Bach the Baroque. There you go. Though actually, it's Vivaldi that's in my head right now.

Some things were perfectly clear, seen with the vision of youth....
