  • 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 SISTER SHIRLEY





I have four sisters, Shirley was the firstborn

She has many talents but never toots her horn

She can play the piano and beautiful music make

Cook up some wonderful food and bake a delicious cake

In her later years, to college she went

Graduated with honors, Joe’s money she spent

She’s taught at elementary school for several years

Had the patience of Job and wiped away many tears

Her husband, Joe, no finer man could she love

He treats her mighty fine and he sings just like a dove

Shirley’s three boys are mighty fine lads

They grew up pretty good and all made loving dads

Now as Shirley enters her golden twilight years

May God grant her peace and wipe away her fears

As a brother to a sister, I send my best wishes

Remember all those times you washed them dirty dishes

I’m so glad you are my sister and my friend

To this little poem I must now make an end.
