  • 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 turn!!

My favorite comes at the end of the Sermon on the Mount. About the wise and foolish builders. You know the story...the foolish builder built his house on a perilous place while the wise builder built on the rock. I take this a couple different ways and here's why. We should build our life on the Rock and we will weather any storm. On the other hand, the way I really see this parable is...no matter who we are...storms come into our lives, be we Christian or not. To me that is awesome because we can say Hey, why is this happening to me, why doesn't God shelter me. God uses us, through all the situations of our lives, to HIS good...not necessarily to our good.

Thank you.

Wow, I really had to think about this one. When I turned 30, my husband (now ex) got me an engagement ring and new wedding band. When we were first married/engaged he couldn't afford a lot and felt it wasn't adequate (even though I cherished what I had).

I guess I've never really had a big to do about my birthday ever...so I was really searching for a "favorite".

MMXII stands for 2012, a year that keeps coming to my mind...have no idea why.

Very, very interesting!!
