  • 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.

Speaking of miracles…
Several years back, before I had a car I remember when our gas went out and we had to cook outside.

We had to rely on people back then to go way out far into the country to the gas places (they put them out there incase of accidents!) to refill our small tank. If you ordered a big tank the gas company delivers, but we didn’t always have the money for a big tank.


Anyway, no one would get our gas and we had to wait more days longer than usual.


It was my turn to cook, I have to tell you right now, I can’t start fires! my younger sister is good at it and can even set up a little outside oven by improvising if need be. I have been known to tend to other peoples’ fires and they went out! (The irony is I set a house ablaze by mistake one time and that was an abandoned house and every one was glad for the space).


So I was unsuccessfully trying to light the fire and I said, ‘God, please light this fire for me.’ It didn’t happen immediately and I thought, whatever! And went inside.


About 2 minutes later went outside and the wood was on fire! You can’t tell me God didn’t light it! That was a miracle! I deserve no credit for it at all!
