  • 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 finally got it right ;).

Basically God had shown her a picture of scars across my chest and I can't remember the exact words but God was ready to help me through it, or something. It meant something to me, because I knew exactly what it was and I had been really praying about it for the last few weeks.

Anyone who's a smoker knows that even if you don't smoke a huge amount (I was never a huge smoker but I was definitely addicted) that the cravings set set in really quickly... After I recieved that word I didn't have any cravings for a few months and when they did come back in my state of mind was that "I've made it this far, I have no reason to go back." I couldn't have done it without God because I have an addictive personality (one of the reasons I hardly ever drink).

I was even able to turn down a couple of offers of a cigarette, in particular from a guy I used to go to TAFE with (tertiary education thingy) who seemed adamant about me smoking.

wow, now THAT is how God works...hehe...thanks for sharing. Next time don't leave out the "juicy" details like this..:)
