• 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.

I haven't gone over the deep end!

Praise be to the Lord.
My father's wife died in March.
My father has advanced Parkinson's and cannot care for himself.
I have had to move in with him.
My wife walked out on me twice since March.
We have to come up with a large sum of cash for our daughters to get back to college.
I cannot continue to live with my father, because it would destroy my job and my marriage.
Thus, I have to move him down with me--nursing homes here don't permit visitors so we can't inspect them.
My father is coming to despise me, because I am having to make difficult decisions.
So, I praise God because I have yet to take a monkey wrench to anyone's head, haven't drunk myself into a stupor, nor have I swerved into oncoming traffic.
I am still together.
Praise the Lord.
Amen.

(Condolences on losing your mother.)

Lord thank you for our brother's faith. Help in all the logistics as he moves his father closer. Strengthen his marriage. Provide for daughters college and other financial needs. Continue to give grace and wisdom in decision making. Bless him, and his home, as he strives to do what's right. In Jesus name, Amen.
