• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hey y'all...

As many of you know, my fiancee Yanira lives in El Salvador and due to the travel restrictions from the covid pandemic she's still down there (plus the US's visa process, but that's a whole different problem)

Last week she was told she has strep throat. However, today she has no sense of smell or taste and fears the worst. She's going to get tested today. Please keep her in your prayers.
I'll update once I hear what the results are. Thank you.

EDIT July 11: test results expected Monday. The Catholic-run clinic down there gave here some over the counter stuff (Tylenol, etc) that's helped her feel a bit better today.

EDIT JULY 15: Negative for Covid19!!!

Thanks everyone! I can't tell you how much it means to us. I added an update to the original post, but basically she has to go back to the clinic on Monday for the results and in the meantime, the Catholic-run clinic down there gave here some over the counter meds (like Tylenol with a kick) that's helped her feel better today.

Continued prayers. I hope if she does have it (many people seem to) then the effects are nothing serious and with no lasting problems. And that she doesn’t pass it on to anyone who is severely affected. In these cases, it seems fairly benign, at least.

Prayers!!!

Negative for Covid19! Instead she has a combination strep throat and ear infection which sometimes results in a loss of smell and taste (who knew?)
