  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

My dad is gone.

My dad died Friday January 23rd from acute cardiac arhymia while I was talking to him on the phone. I just got back from being home for the funeral and all the paperwork that comes afterward.

My dad was saved, so I know he's all right, in fact, he's been reunited with my mom after 19 years, so I know he is happy.

Please pray for the unsaved members of my family, especially my sister's family, and pray about whether or not I should move home. I've been away too long for no really good reason, I suspect.

Thanks!

I know that in times of sorrow that it is hard to rejoice even if you are a new creature in Christ Jesus. But, I pray that the Lord will comfort you in your time of grief. It is a blessing to know that your Dad had a relationship with the Lord.
Jesus said John 14:27 :prayer:
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come againunto you. If you loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. :angel: I pray that the Lord God will comfort you and give you strenght. Think only on the good things. John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. John14:2 In my Father's house house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. :hug: I am praying for you and your family-God bless!

Thanks everyone! You have always been so faithful to pray!

It still seems unreal. He was fine one moment and dead the next. My voice was the last thing he heard. I couldn't understand his last words, but I did heard him say my name. I find myself being weepy over the strangest things, like tonight when I went to the store, I teared up when I saw Spanish peanuts because when we were little, we went to a certain store almost weekly and bought fresh Spanish peanuts that were still hot from the roaster. Then I teared up again when I saw a George Foreman's Grill, because I sent him one a few months ago. Then I saw Valentine's candy, and almost every year, he would send me a heart-shaped box to let me know Daddy still loved me.

Yesterday was Ground Hog's Day, and every year, I would call my dad to see if the ground hog saw his shadow. April Fool's going to be a killer! We have a family joke that we play every year about rabbits on April Fools. In all the years of my life, we always did this joke with my dad.

Now it's just my sister and me. I love her so much. I want to be closer to her.

I know Dad's fine, but I just want to talk to him. I hope he can't see me crying.

Lambslove,

I just saw this. I am so very sorry for your loss. Please forgive my untimely response.... you will be in my prayers.

You've always been kind and generous in praying for people, and you've always prayed for me when I have asked, even though we're not what some would call the best of friends.

I am truly sorry about your dad.

Michelle
