• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Today at the grocery store - the bagger kid says:

"I'm so happy, ask me why!"
"Okay, why?"
"Because tomorrow's my birthday!"
"Cool deal. So how old are you going to be?"
"17"
"Whoa. One year until you can vote!"
"You mean one year until I can take control of my life."
"Don't be in such a rush, kid. Enjoy where you are, because once it's gone, it ain't coming back."

(Older lady behind me starts chuckling)

Enjoy where you are, because once it's gone, it ain't coming back

This is probably sound advice at any age. Today is the youngest you will ever be!

What is funny is that he doesn't realize how much control he loses of his life when he has to assume responsibility for it.
