  • 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

New Beginnings
by Dawn Dreyfuss



As the first fruits of spring tear off the noose of winters long days and dark nights, I throw off the grave clothes and look out of the cave I've grown so comfortable in.

The clouds are still evident over the horizon. They bring with them the promise of rain. I long for their cold wet touch. I gaze out my backdoor. There in the midst of green grass and petrified wood, I lose myself in the eyes of the windflowers. They live so close to Your Heart. They have a beauty and fragrance I have come to know so well. Only You could create such magnificence.

Oh, if only I could understand the faith of the hummingbird. She sits on her perch and belts out a song of joy and exuberance. She has not a care in the world. Her only desire is to let creation know that she is alive and well.

In this season of new beginnings, I will strive to be like the hummingbird. As she watches and waits on You alone, I too, will sing a new song. I will open my mouth wide and praise You. For You alone are my joy and salvation.
