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'm getting started with prayer beads...

I made one last weekend. After using it a few times I decided to take it apart and to restring it with seed beads as spacers between the week beads so they would feel better in my hands. I've never made anything with beads before, but this was fairly easy and fun. My daughter made one, too.

The beads I purchased arrived and I didn't really realise that they were actually that short. It feels ok in my hands but if i wish to take it with me, it has to travel in my pocket.
I am thinking of making one with bigger spacing so I can wear it around my neck when I am out and about.

Mine is little longer than I think it probably should be, but live and learn, yes? Next one I make, I will use smaller spacer beads. I'm not accustomed to praying in this way and I'm a bit awkward...I guess I will be until I commit some things to memory...

Last night when I finished restringing my beads I asked Hubby to pray with me. It was a long shot, he never prays with me, but I felt I should ask him. As always, he said no. He asked me to come to bed so I just climbed in with the beads in my hand. There was a nasty storm outside and two of our four local tv channels were off line so on the bedroom set Hubby selected a tv movie -- in progress -- with an actress he recognized and I just fiddled with my beads to see if the new design pleased me. That's when the woman in the movie was meeting with a priest; they prayed with me.

Hi, I am new to the forum, but not to prayer beads. I have used traditional RC beads since high school (umm, many years now) and Anglican beads for several years. I bought a couple of books and read online prayer suggestions too.
For the Anglican beads, one of my favorites is an excerpt from St. Patrick's Breastplate. I love the image of Christ being all around me, and these words, "Christ is quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all who love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger..."

Welcome!
And that's really cool. I've been thinking of starting this practice myself for Lent this year.And St. Patrick's Breastplate is awesome, isn't it? Simply amazing!
