  • 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.

I just think that love is the missing key to a lot of Christian's walks with Christ. Not only in their relationship with Christ, but also in their relationships with other people. I grew up in a spiritual culture that was hell-fire and damnation, you go out and you tell them folks they're going to hell...and they'll see where they are wrong and will turn to Christ. I never saw that work, actually, even though I know it works for some.

I think God's love and saving grace is important to preach...to live...to show.

I think you're right. I got stuck on the hell and damnation part and can't seem to get from that to the love... and then when someone sees it like that, it's hard to want to come to God anyway.

Aww ok baradimo, sleep well!

I think it's easy to get stuck on the hell-fire damnation part of it...but the truth is, the Bible tells us to not fear. The word "fear" is in the Bible 400 times but of those 400 times, most of them are "fear not" and then in addition to that, there's "do not be afraid" a bunch of times too.

I would love to have some blue put in my hair...and as I sit there, I'll be nibbling on brownies and heisting my leg in the name of love...
Ahahahahahaha, Jimmy, the things you say.

Hi Folks

Tins, I did not know they could "glue" hair to hair like that, hmmmm, interesting. I use to color my hair platinum blond, but it was too hard to keep up and I did not look that great. Now, when I color, it is burgundy or red tones.

Kazz, I so envy that you love where you live and do not miss the states. No way for me, but we all know that and probably why. I would be there now if I had the money. Hopefully, I will get a job and have something to carry me through when I get back, I have been praying.

It is a gorgeous Spring day, looks the temps may be in the 60's, perfect.

And on the other side we had the first Autumn storm of the year with higher water levels, some scary thunder & hail and strong winds. Damn you, Autumn

Hi Baradimo, I do not normally see you here.

I hate thunder storms. When I lived in Florida, Kentucky and Arizona, I experienced many, they scare me, especially the wild ones, with wind, loud thunder and lot of lightening. YUCK. We do not have T.S. here, just heavy rain, like back home in Washington state.

Hope you get some sleep, it is miserable to just lay in bed and look at the ceiling.
