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.

Hi all!
It's 17:37 here in Jerusalem & I'm sitting here at my desk at my office. I'm working on mug #2 of turkish coffee
. Lessee...
Shabbat was pretty good. There was the usual praying, eating & sleeping. A bride & groom were at our synagogue yesterday morning. They just got married a few days ago & this was their first Shabbat as a married couple. So when the groom was called up to the Torah, everyone broke into singing & dancing & the ladies threw candies into the men's section, at the groom. The kids all scrambled on the floor, grabbing at the candies. Yohanan & Naor made out like bandits!
We started cleaning the flat/apartment for Passover this morning. My mother-in-law is arriving from Cape Town tomorrow morning. So I cleaned the spare bedroom very thoroughly & we told Da Boyz that from now on. no food other than raw fruit & veggies may be brought into that room.
Philippe, you asked about my favorite man of God. The character in the Bible (i.e. the Tanakh, what we call what you call the "Old Testament") who most fascinates me, believe it or not, is Saul. He is so deep & so complex! Shakespeare wrote that, "Some are born great, others achieve greatness, while others have greatness thrust upon them." Saul definitely had greatness thrust upon him but he was never quite comfortable with it. He never quite understood what was happening to him and why; the big picture remained just beyond his grasp. His relationships with just about everyone (Jonathan, David, Samuel, etc.) were problematic and strained. But such was the power of his personality that Samuel and David, whom he pushed from being staunch allies into being bitter rivals, each cried and wailed for him bitterly. Samuel lamented Saul's spiritual fall ("And it grieved Samuel and he cried unto the Lord all night", I Samuel 15:11; indeed, Samuel mourned for Saul so much that God had to tell him to stop, I Samuel 15:35-16:1); David wailed over his father-in-law's physical fall and composed one of the most beautiful elegies in all of scripture (II Samuel 1:17-27) over him. The more I read about Saul, the more he fascinates me!
Philippe, I look forward to welcoming you to my country!
Since we're on the subject of mothers-in-law...
II Kings 3:16-28 tells us about King Solomon & the two harlots and their babies. Well, after the two harlots and their babies leave, two other women come in before King Solomon, dragging a rather distraught young man by his ears. The first woman says to King Solomon, "This s.o.b. married my daughter last week and now he's trying to run out on her!" The other woman says, "Oh, no! This s.o.b. married my daughter last week and now he's trying to run out on her." King Solomon looks and thinks and then says to one of his men-at-arms, "Fetch me a sword!" The man-at-arms trots out a jumbo-sized long sword. King Solomon commands to him to chop the distraught young man in half & give half to each woman. The first woman says, "Hmm...chop him in half?...that sounds fair." The second woman says, "What, are you nuts??!! Chop a person in half??!!" King Solomon stops the man-at-arms and tells him to hand the young man over to the first woman. The completely bewildered man-at-arms says, "But, but sire, she wanted me to chop him in half!" "Yes," the king replies, "Obviously, she is the true mother-in-law!"
(I thank God that I get along wonderfully with Wendy's Mom!)
Be well!

SSV,
Good story, about the mother-in-laws. I must admit I have never thought of soul in that way. He turned away from God and God's ways in the end. What really touched me is when David had the chance to kill him, he did not. He still had respect for Saul as one of God,s annointed.
maybe I must be a bit more like you and David and respect Saul for one of God's annointed.
It was good to hear from you again.

We had an awesome service at our church today. Three churches from our community met together for a great worship and word time. Two pastors spoke and we had a great time praising and worshiping as the body under one roof.
The message form the first pastor was. Are you a Sunday Christian? Do your co-workers know you are a Christian? Are you righteous, upright and generous as a citizen in your community? I know I fall short in these areas. I sure am glad Jesus died for me and has given me forgiveness and the power to overcome the sinful nature of my flesh!
The second pastor told us to wake up! Stop being a sleepy headed Christian who hear God's voice and then says okay but, in a minute, hmm hmm, oh um........Wake Up. I guess his point was to be doers of the word and not hearers only. God wants people passionate for Him and alert to His voice, as obedient and loving children.

Good afternoon all you wonderful CF people. It's a rainy day in Michigan. Tonight is the last night for our special speaker at our church. I hate to see it end. He has been great and my husband has been going, which is an answer to prayer because he has been staying away from church. Thanks to all of you who have posted on the Rhymin' Time thread in the recreation room. 
It's great fun. Can someone please tell me what the word "sticky" means by the title of a thread? Have a great day in the Lord.

Good for you Abstract Devotion.
Here's the weather report for Michigan. It got to about the mid 60's today. It rained a little, not that much. I love it when don't have to wear a jacket or coat. Who else wants to give a weather report on where they live? Some of us might find it interesting.
