• 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.

Just some random thoughts to share

1. God's Mercy is truly awesome and beautifully shows the breadth and depth of his Love for us. For God not only forgives us of the vile act of the Sin itself, our Creator also forgives the lost opportunity of doing His Will that we missed doing as we were in our Sin.

2. Mediocrity is the tool of the woke zombies in their distortion of equality. For in the name of equity, they seek to bring down those of superior endowment to the level of those who are of average talent instead of seeking to raise the talents of the average to those of greater ability. They have thus killed not only God but the hero and role model as well as they gleefully head towards the nihilistic abyss.

3. With all the bizarre and unbelievable developments, beginning with COVID, that has unfolded in the world, I have to agree with that Great Sage of baseball, Yogi Berra: The future ain't what it used to be!

4. "We are often the carpenter of our own crosses" St. Philip Neri

5. Why is it that some people ain't happy unless they are miserable?

6. When you seek revenge, dig two graves
