  • 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

It's that time again...

Since this is the college board and we all have finals around this time, I think it's important that we have encouragement and humor as well. So every semester's end I try to put this up to remind people where their help comes from. Enjoy! :thumbsup:

The Student Prayer

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not flunk;
He keepeth me from lying down when I should be studying.
He gives me new strength
He leadeth me besides the water cooler for a study break;
He restoreth my faith in study guides.
He leads me to better study habits for my grades sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of borderline grades,
I will not have a breakdown.
For thou art with me.
My prayers and my friends, they comfort me.
Thou givest me answers in moments of blankness.
Thou anointest my head with understanding.
My test paper runneth over with questions I recognize.
Surely passing grades and flying colors shall follow me all the days of my examinations,
And I shall not have to dwell in this school house forever.
Amen.

If you have anything similar to this, feel free to post it we could use it. :groupray: :crossrc:

Here's another (even though I should be studying for my Spanish exam, lol.)

Now I lay me down to study,
I pray the Lord I won't go nutty.
If I should fail to learn this junk,
I pray the Lord I will not flunk.
But if I do, don't pity me at all,
Just lay my bones out in the dorm hall
Tell my prof. I did my best,
Then pile my books upon my chest.
Now I lay me down to rest,
And pray I'll pass tomorrow's test.
If I should die before I wake,
that's one less test I'll have to take!


By the way, I'm not claiming authorship of any of the poems. I don't know who wrote them, I just wanted to share them.
