  • 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.

Parable Of The Pencil

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him in
the box. "There are five things you need to know," he told the
pencil, "before I send you out into the world. Always remember them
and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be."

"One: You will be able to do great things, but only if you allow
yourself to be held in Someone's hand."
"Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time,
but you'll need it to become a better pencil."
"Three: I will be able to correct mistakes you might make."
"Four: The most important part of you will always be what's inside."
" And Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your
mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write."

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the
box with purpose in its heart. Now remember the pencil is like you.
Always remember it and never forget and you will become the best
person you can be.

One: You will be able to do great things, but only if you allow
yourself to be held in God's hand, and allow other human beings to
access you for the many gifts you possess.
Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by
going through various problems, but you'll need it to become a
stronger person.
Three: God will be able to forgive the mistakes you make.
Four: The most important part of you will always be what's inside.
And Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your
mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your
duties.

By understanding and remembering: let us proceed with our life on
this earth having a meaningful purpose in our heart.


May bountiful blessings be your hugs.
Peace Be With You...Always
