  • 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.

When my kids were little and we would ride in the car, they would regularly say, "Hey mom look at this." I would reply, "I can't I am driving."

My oldest daughter told me that always hurt her feelings, she thought I was disinterested in what she was trying to tell me. She had no idea how quickly things can happen at highway speeds (and slower ones as well), how dangerous it can be, and how my first priority was everyone's safety. How could I explain to a 3 year old all the things I had to consider in that situation? How could she possibly understand?

When this same child began to drive she told me that now she understood what I meant. In the months to come she will be a parent too - I told her in a few years there will be many things about me she will understand better.

I think there are many of Adonai's things that are the same way....

Adonai knows we need concrete examples to demonstate abstract ones. How can you teach a child an abstract concept like math without examples?

:) + :) = :) :)

My bottom line with all things of Adonai - HE is right and I am wrong. So I just keep goin at it til I can get His point of view. I think I will be busy for a very loooong time :p

Good opening line.

My problem is that I can't remember peoples names in here and who they are.I get people mixed up at times.
But when I see Debi's name that polaroid will always come back to me.
Debbie and her kids riding in a car.I like that
