  • 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.

tossed about
by the disturbulent tempest
in my heart,
i struggled to run
into hiding...
but
Your Spirit, dear Lord
kept me there
to face myself
and You
for change
for renewal
and for restoration.
and so, i stayed...
and i stayed...........
and i stayed.............!
Amazingly now
i see
pain's window
opening up to me
and i pass through
breathing in
the fresh, sweet air
of being
more near
to Thee.
