• 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.

In You...

Sometimes You seem so overqualified for the small problems that we create. If we would just move out the way and let You take our hand, You can carry us thru our problems without incident. But when we get in the way (like trying to save a drowning person), our heads go under. Oh...You pull us up for air, but we still try to swim on our own.

But please, Father, hear my cry, hear my laugh...believe that when I do all these things, I do them for You. If You turn away from me, no longer will I be in Your presence. How that would hurt me to find I have hurt You. Keep me in Your loving warmth, keep me in the strength of Your arms. Stay with me and be my guide!

See me when I dance, hear me when I shout, know me in my Faith, keep me in Your blessings, Lord. Don't give up on me. As I cry in pain, I know You hear. You show me Your mercy everyday. I am sooo grateful for all You do for me, I am nothing without You! I am no longer alone, for I see Your face, dear Lord...and Your voice comforts me!
