• 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.

Iowan's where are you???? (3)

Kimmy - Wow, Mikki's divorce seemed to go by quickly. Is she staying with you and Mark for awhile? Or is she managing on her own? It's got to be tough for her as a single mom (of two, right?).


I'm no longer working at the airport...

Christmas was good. Thanks for asking. :)
Mikki just moved to DSM, living with her boyfriend, he's older than Mark. (we won't go there) She'll be back in nursing school for Spring semester- Mercy School of Nursing. She wants to be a nurse- midwife. (I'm glad she went back to school) :)

Well, we turned in our application and paid the application fee, so we have officially started the adoption process. We picked Ethiopia. We were most impressed with the program there, and the timeline is much faster than the other countries. We are also looking into adopting siblings as well. Yep, we have that deer in headlights look to us right now.

If you could give us prayers during this process - we could feasibly have our children in 9 months - it's almost like finding out I'm pregnant today. Thanks.
