  • 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! I am broken. Seriously God had to bring me to nothing to get my attention. I have two children a 12 year old son and an 11 year old daughter.

I became completely addicted to pain pills in the last year. Basically have not been able to keep a job. Had to sell pills to pay the bills (actually someone else was doing this for me, then all of a sudden she stopped givng me the money). Then one day it was like I hit a brick wall and everything fell apart. I think it was God trying to get my attention.

Since September we lost our home and I lost my job yesterday over something totally acceptable in the world so I know it had ot be God.

We are living with a family from church who lets people come into their home to live to basically rehab. They are helping me get off the meds. They are helping me with my children and everything.

I really know that the whole thing is God, but it is so hard sometimes to understand why things happen.

Please don't dog me out. I can't handle it right now. Like I said I am broken. I just needed to chat.

Thank GOD for having someone around to help. When my wife and I were homeless, not married yet, she didnt want to wait to get married. She said it could only get better and in the future this would always be the example to remember how good things are.
With God's help you will recover and remember this time when times are good.

Dear heavenly father I lift up broken to you here, and just pray that you will move in her (his?) life. Bring people along who can help minister to this precious family that you love so much. Grant Broken the power to overcome this addiction, not from herself, but from you, teach Broken to rely fully upon you and may you get all the glory.

I pray that you would restore Broken's life, career, family ... bring Broken once more into the joy that is the fruit of the Spirit of walking with you God. Keep those of us in this forum faithful to lift up this precious family before your throne.

In the precious, and mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Thank you!

God is moving in our lives. It is very hard at times, to live in someone elses home by someone elses rules when you have been on your own for years. I know though that we are where we are supposed to be.

Both of my children have gotten saved and I have rededicated my life to God. I have gone from 20 pills a day to 3 just enough to keep from living in pain.

The bad thing is I lost my job and for accountability reasons they want me to wait to get a job. This is taking a lot of faith.
