• 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.

  • 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.

Tinsel Time

T'is tinsel time when midst the grime
Of muddied minds shines,
What can it be?

Electro-lite silver gilding
This gingerless bread of strife?
Celebrating the survival of the fittest,
The feel good factor?
Forgetting for the festive moment
The fate that awaits.

Or, could it be the uncreated
Light of the uncreated
Star, startling joyously
Faces who, watching, waiting
Cross desert places
To where time is pierced through and through
By a sword of pure life.

Shimmering, shining, eternal, tinsel
Illuminating the universe
From the midst of beasts and straw.

Cool cat sat in the snow.
Coal black cat, Cheshire Cat grin,
Looking up to see within.
White flakes floating down, carpeting, covering all around.
Snow covers such a multitude of sins.

Cool cat sat on the white mat,
Softly he began to hum a song.
He though of his lost love long gone
Over the seas to nonsense land.
There no snow but always winter,
Though they danced on the sands so gaily,
Always winter,
Though they feasted on mince and quince and capercaillie.

When the sun returns with burning heat
And no more the snow to cover, cover.
Where to look, where to go?
What would all this waiting show?

There was another land he knew of,
A wonderland, where it was always Christmas.
Winter when it came was jolly and polite.
And sometimes there was snow when it felt right
But no sin to cover, cover.
A wonderland where cheshire cats would grin and grin.
Cool cat began to hum a song and then he began to sing.
