  • 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.

A question - if you print out an icon are you supposed to go and have that blessed as well?
If you mount the icon and pray before it the icon should be blessed. It is prayer which makes an icon an icon.

I don't really have an icon corner, I'm going to set one up pretty soon. Right now, I have my icons just spread randomly around my room. There is one section of wall that I have that I want to make as my official icon corner but it will take some rearanging of stuff in my room.

And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us. Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hmm, I just thought that I really should move my bed so I can use my icon corner like I used to.

This would be a lot of work for me as it would mean moving my computer desk and bed to opposite sides of the room, ie, computer desk where bed is and bed where computer desk is.

Ahhhh, but I do love moving furniture. It's the little impatient 5 year old in me :p.

My prayer life is currently down the drain though, I do try to pray myself to sleep.
Not the best practice I know but I feel happy if my last words are "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have Mercy upon me, A Sinner".

I finally got around to posting a picture of my icon corner. I am looking for an icon of St. John the Apostle, my patron, as well as St. Demetrios, and have my eye on one of St. Nicholas. It's basic, but it's where I can go...
