  • 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 went to New Orleans last week
on a mission trip
and I was told by the pastor of a church there
that the reason many people didn't come back
is because when they were evacuated
they went somewhere else
and found that life was actually better in the new place.

If there is anyone here
who lived in New Orleans
and left because of Katrina
And moved away permanently
who is comfortable sharing,

Why did you choose to live somewhere new after the storm?
Were people more hospitable to you
in other cities or states than at home?
did it feel like God wanted you to move there?

I was only told this fact,
but I'm curious to hear it from someone who really moved.

Hey, Hi! :)
I'm glad you went to visit New Orleans. I hope some do chime in. It would be interesting to know how some are doing. I am from the Lake Charles area, the "Rita" storm. We did take in people in our homes, shelters, motels and hotels.
Peace
