• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

I have learned that it is better to refresh the page and not post,
than to post, and then discover that someone has already posted the same thing and done a much better job of it ;) ^_^

Email from a good friend, from whom I received this this morning ,

After walking through the house to begin to shut down for the night I had a brainstorm for a new incense to be used only for Pascha, which my house smells of at the moment, GRILLED MEAT!

I recognize the meaning of the first word, the rest, not so much. Care to clue us in here?

Russian/Ukrainian speakers will enjoy this - I giggled and spluttered my coffee :)

Just had a funny occur to me while I was thinking of the Ladder of Divine Ascent.

What if you had a newbie who was amazed that the revelation of the Ladder was given to a man whose surname was "Climacus" (Ladder). How coincidental is that!?

(Of course I know where the name comes from, lol ... I wonder if I'll ever get to hear someone think this. ;) )

Forgive me please. My cold is in my head. I'm probably not thinking clearly. :D
