  • 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

Hello all,

I have been over on the Baptist/Anabaptist thread for a couple of weeks and decided it was time to make an intro over here.

I am a windower of about 7 months. I am the father of two, my wife's 16 year old son whom I claim as my own:clap: and my 12 year old daughter from a previous marriage who spends every other weekend with us. We live in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania at a Mennonite Retreat Center and Youth Camp. It is wonderful here. I am surrounded by other believers from a diverse theological background.

My wife of 7 years and I came back to the Lord together about 6 years ago. He changed our lives. It was wonderful to know that my wife was ready to move on to paradise. Candice died of a brain tumor caused by breast cancer. From the time we found out about the tumor we had 2 months to prepare for her departure. We shared our story online at [ANCHOR="freysinger.net"]Our Story[/ANCHOR]

I am a little unique as a widower. I was married and divorced twice before meeting Candice. I decided long ago that if anything happened to Candice I would not remarry. The remainder of my life will spent raising my children and serving God.

It is nice to meet other widows and widowers. Many blessings to you all.

Daniel

Daniel, I enjoyed reading your post. I, too, will never marry again. I had 25 years with my husband before his passing and we have three sons. I am happy to spend the next several years raising them to be God-fearing young men. Growing up, my parents were very close friends with the milkman and his wife...who were Mennonite. My mother was quite influenced by them. Have a great day.
