  • 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

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

My wife and I spoke with Habitat for Humanity today and the woman is encouraging us to apply when the applications open back up again. She has said that we would qualify for a home through their program.

The home that we would qualify for will be a 4 bedroom home that will be handicapped ready for my wife. This includes larger doorways, wider hallways, and safety rails where needed. She said that they monthly payments will be between $420 and $500 a month and will include the insurance payments as well as property taxes. That price will not be much more than what we will start paying come December when our rent goes up.

If anyone knows about Habitat for Humanity, you will know that there is much volunteering that the "family" will have to do. Something like 350 hours. I will be doing the bulk of those hours, if not all of them. The hours include helping build others' homes as well as our own. So this home will truly feel like our home and there is a sense of pride knowing that my sweat and blood (undoubtedly I will bleed at some point) will be part of it's construction.

We are super excited about this path that God has put before us. Please pray in agreement with us that the devil will not place a hand in this and that God is glorified throughout the process as we build our home and become homeowners.

That's so great! It will only take about 8.5 months at 40 hours per week, which really is not bad at all, when you consider the payoff!

Not only that, but you will also gain valuable experience as you put those hours in.

Absolutely will be praying for this for you!

My prayer is for that house or better, whatever the Lord has in store for you. It's the same thing we prayed when we got this house.

Excellent news! Wish I could be there to lend a hand when it all happens for you. Keeping you all in prayer.
