  • 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.

Opinions on my newest idea

Here's some select parts that I've got a rough draft on:

April 26, 2003
I have mixed feelings right now, I'm tired. (It's 43 minutes after midnight), I'm happy. Today..well, yesterday by now, was the youth rally, in 7 hours they will be going to six flags. I chose not to go because I've a lot to do, but I would like to've gone. Anyway our youth group did "The Champion" [drama] for the rally. The crowd went "nuts." And I'm lonely. Brother has gone to Nashville for the weekend to see Aaron and Renee'. Sissy well, she's company if you like Barbie. Mom and Dad...I want someone my age. But the main reason is Lucus is gone, Nicole is gone, Zach is gone, and Chris is gone. : l : ) : ...(

I am so happy! In English I have this report on diabeties, that was due today, but we've had some major, and I mean MAJOR, rain lately, and because of the rain schools are closed. The really good thing is that I still have quite a bit of work to do on my report.
The bad thing is that yesterday we were supposed to have the May concert with the HMS band and the Smith singers and Harrision choir. Anyway the concert got rescheduled to tonight because of the rain, but all of the schools are closed, it's going to have to be rescheduled again. Oh well!

I've been busy lately. Here's the scoop: I got my report in on time and got a 105 on it. School's out, I've got one of my 2 required summer reading books read and it was a good book(suprisingly). i've got one to go though. Camp is over now. I went to the Wesleyan Camp this year. I met a bunch of new people, including Matt. We're trying to keep in contact, but it's kind of hard with mixed up schedules. Oh and the rain day, a couple of months ago, lasted the rest of the week.

Ya know writing things down has been the best way for me to prepair a document, but in debates it just doesn't work. you can only do things one step at a time, causing preperations to go out the window.
This...'talk' I'm haveing with mom and dad is going no where fast because I can't get my thoughts &/or feelings on paper, so I can't get myself organized. Mabe I just need to rearrange my points so they make a bit more sense...
I think I'll do that.

That's great! I'm taking a creative writing class where we critique on each other's writings... well... I guess what I'm saying is... do you want me to tell you what I would say in class? It's not too bad I promise!

My idea is that I want to write book, or more like a journal, of what has happened to me over the past 3 to 4 years. Everything from dad loosing his job, to the heart breeak of my first break-up, to answered prayers and misacles, to our house burning, and being pulled out of public school to be homeschooled, and everything in between.

It sounds like a great idea but just keep in mind that a lot of things that have happened may be personal and you may cause problems between some people. You'd need to talk to them who are involved first of all and make sure it's okay to include them or something that happened to them, in the journal/story.

I was going to write a book about my struggles with an eating disorder (yeah I know it's been done before, but mine was going to be set out differently) but I decided that I would cause too much strife between my mum, my family and my friends. Plus there were things that I wouldn't want my name to be associated with (like the whole fact of having an ED).

Just my $0.02. It sounds like it's a great idea though :)
