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.
Let Everything That Has Breath...

A simple praise - who would ever have thought of building a beautiful creation rather than just a function one? Who would have ever have thought of creating color? Or the scent of rosemary?
Who would have ever thought of planning every detail of every stone, every leaf, every blade of grass in the creation.... and knowing and sovereignly ruling them all?

Praise God that He is my Husband, that He goes before me and opens doors... Praise God for His creative 'painting' every morning and every evening!

Thanks 2Tim2 for starting this thread. 
I praise the Lord that he is always there for us.
I have been having a hard time with my arthritis the last three weeks.
The past weekend my leg was so swollen I could hardly walk.
Sunday night I did not get much sleep because of the pain but focused on God.
Actually I started putting together (in my head) a "Prayer Request" to put on CF.
Then I started singing praises to our Lord.
Although I was tired yesterday the swelling is gone and I feel better than I have in awhile.
Thank you Jesus.
I also started a thread to share Praise Songs and Choruses.

Praise God that His mercy endures forever.
Unlike humans who run every which way and away from the character He calls us to, He never changes. When every person in the world you might have relied on has turned, when all the circumstances of life have gone awry - He is still there. He never changes and is the .only. constant in life.
4 Let those who fear the LORD now say,
"His mercy endures forever."
5 I called on the LORD in distress;
The LORD answered me and set me in a broad place.
6 The LORD is on my side;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
- Ps 118

Revelation 5:12-1412 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

I praise God that He sought me when I was lost.
In preparing my sermon on Luke 15:1-10 for tomorrow (The Church: God's Lost and Found), I encountered this wonderful ancient hymn. It's based on the parable of the lost sheep, written by a church father named Prudentius. It really got to me, and I thought I might share it... I've already posted it in the cafe, but I thought you guys might like to see it, too. Praise the Lord!!
When one ailing sheep lage behind the others
And loses itself in the sylvan mazes,
Tearing its white fleece on the thorns and briers,
Sharp in the brambles,
Unwearied the Shepherd, that lost one seeking,
Drives away the wolves and on his strong shoulders
Brings it home again to the fold's safekeeping,
Healed and unsullied.
He brings it back to the green fields and meadows,
Where no thorn bush waves with its cruel prickles,
Where no shaggy thistle arms trembling branches
with its tough briars.
But where palm trees grow in the open woodland,
Where the lush grass bends its green leaves, and laurels
shade the glassy streamlet of living water
Ceaselessly flowing.
isn't that beautiful?
