• 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.

  • 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.

My dad died today in his sleep

I am sorry to hear that you have lost your father. I saw this thread and wanted to give my condolences and let you know I will be praying for you and your family. I'm sure he is looking down upon you with a smile for the kindness and prayers you've shared on his behalf.

Hey, Big Toe:

Thanks very much. A lot of people were blessed by my father's holy death.

Please do visit TAW more often and if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask us.

Thanks again, and God bless you.

Yours in Christ,

Elizabeth

I'm so sorry for your loss, Elisabeth.
I only have just these two things to offer, both of which I'm certain you already know, but I suppose it makes me feel better to write them to you.
Part of him goes on living here as long as you do, because he's in your mind and in your heart. I know this because a part of my mother resides in me, as as time goes on, I remember more and more of the special times we had together, how very tall she once seemed to me, even though she never topped 5'.0". I keep her excellent advice in mind, her good example, her apt and witty remarks, and I can still feel how very much she always loved me.
God will care for him now; he is safe from all the grief and suffering we are forced to bear simply by dwelling in this world. :)
