  • 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.

Lets talk Resurrection Sunday and what it means to you!:)

I'm not reading what anyone else posted before I post mine, only because I want my thoughts to flow freely and be mine alone.

Easter Sunday reminds me that Jesus willingly let himself be beat, mocked, tortured, and crucified, for me....me, Tammy, a nothing, a nobody. And I think each year, what have I done since last Easter to be worthy of such a wonderous gift? How many times have I failed him? How many times do I wonder as the song reminds me, does he still feel the nails, everytime I fail?

But then everytime it rains I'm reminded of another song, Healing Rain, and I know, that He's sending it down for me, to remind me that I'm forgiven each time I ask, I'm washed clean again because he knows my heart.

It then makes me wonder if I was ever asked to give one of my children to save the world, a world where so many would reject, mock, ridicule, what would I say?
Or,
When someone hurts me again and again, how many times do I let them ask forgiveness? How many times do I truly give it?

I honestly believe that we will never be able to truly comprehend the gift of Easter Sunday weekend, until we get to where we're going.
I'm grateful for the wonderous gift of Good Friday, I'm so much more grateful for the Miracle that is Easter Sunday, when after giving his life freeely, for me.... he rose to Heaven to sit next to his, mine & your's Father, to wait for us to come Home :)

I think often of what my manison in heaven will look like, cause I know it's prepared just for me.

When the Dr told me I'd never be able to carry a baby to term, and I knew that God let me know when I was a teenager that I'd have 2 girls, that the Dr was wrong.

My oldest daughter is my first pride and joy, she's in the Air Force Reserves. and is a Pinkerton Security Cop, and she's engaged to my future son in law :)

She also just switched her phone plan to Verizon so we can talk daily now that I have a cell phone again LOL

After I had Shanda, again I was told I shouldn't even try again and that it wouldn't happen, and in fact had scheduled me to come in for a tubal in 6 weeks...6 weeks later I was pregnant, the Dr wanted me to terminate "for my own health" I refused and proceeded for the next 9 months to tell everyone this was my 2nd girl...all the naysayers with the "your carrying different, you should pick a boys name too, you shouldn't pick all pink" right down to the sono gram..I told them all...nope, God told me I was going to be a mom of 2 daughters, close together and they'd be best of friends..and they are.

My youngest Miracle, Crystal is married and lives up north where the rest of my family lives

:hug:'s & thanks Nadine! (I'm falling back asleep here, but want to do the 8 posts first lol)

Crystal, my baby girl...her name wasn't quite picked until minutes after she was born..I wanted to name her Tiffany, but when there were some complications and they said they almost lost me twice, and had to break her collar bone....I named her Crystal...yet she's a very strong woman today.....and Anne after Anne of Green Gables...which is pretty much the way she was.

My baby girl suprised us a few years ago with another baby boy, Collin, Collin is like his mommy was as a baby...always laughing and smiling...and he oh so stole his "popop's" (Shawn) heart, he was glued to Shawn during our visit there for a week, so instead of just taking my oldest back with us for 2 weeks, we brought them both back for 1 week...and it ended way to soon!

I got disconnected while trying to post this one..so I saved it and went back to bed...me and the puter needed a reboot ;)

Cont from prev. post:
We still have things from their visit the end of July beginning of Aug. that are daily reminders....the pile of dirt in the front yard, that popop and great popop brought over with the backhoe so everyone could play with Collins Trucks and Cars.

Which reminds me...when my daughter said at the time, that my grandson points to every Tractor Trailor truck on the road and says tractor, we thought she was exagerating...do you know how many trucks travel I95 between RI & GA? lolol


((((((((Dawn & Nadine)))))) Thanks!!

I saved the last post for my hubby...I gave up on this person called Tammy, I thought everyone had, including God, then along came Shawn, who for years was just words on a screen...the person at the other end.
But there he was, in my doorway....God sent him to me, my breath of fresh air, my link that not only lead me back to The Lord, but lead Shawn to Him as well.
He taught me worth, he loved me for me, only my girls had ever done that, he touched my life and healed a raging storm, and brought me back to my anchor.
Between us we have unconditional love, 10 years later I still look forward to him coming through the door at night.
We go everywhere together, and on Sunday's when he sings a special, my eyes still tear up or fill with pride and wonder at the beauty of a voice so sweet and pure when he sings to The Lord :)
