• 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

sort of old-fashioned :x :sorry: but that's how i tend to write poems. <.<

The soul to heaven shouts aloud; the heavenlies spring to life,
The spirit calls unto the halls of highest Paradise.
The heart stands free; chained not to thee, the sinful, toilsome Earth.
The mind avows to stain not now this being from new birth.

The deadly thing `twixt person, King, the blackest curse is shattered;
The psyche to sing, blood’s praises ring, flees now from earthly matters.
While blue cathedral watches, waits; the fire flickers, grows;
The only way our debts to pay, as red as blossomed rose.

The cord of one is fast undone, the braid of two stands fast;
Though all one’s deeds may come to naught, a joint endeavor lasts.
The highest praise to live the days by every sacred word,
None shakes the faith of those who wait and act on holy terms.

The mortal, fleeting strands of time are crumbled by a glance
And silence stands to slow the hands compelled by feverish dance.
So quick to see the time-bound three of me, myself, and I;
No stranger to the dying things which beckon me to die.

One difference now, on every side an unlit fire waits,
The flame in me cries out to be the one who helps create;
While time goes on, the moments fall like rain on dismal lake,
A mirror image, dimly seen by those who make mistakes.

The great endeavor waxes, wanes; the light has suffered, grown;
Pray God, to thee, may all who see my light know Who has shone.
Though twisted shadows swiftly fall; and conscience meets with grief;
To throne of white, `tis my delight to crawl for sweet relief.

The fountain stands, stained by the hands torn by my unrepentance;
No deeds needs He, who set me free, no terms but acquiescence.

That's really pretty incredible. Nice job!
