  • 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

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done,
on earth as it as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread and
forgive us our trespasses as we forgive
those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil.
Amen

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou among women,and
blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us now, and
at the hour of our death.
Amen

Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, as is and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins,save us from the fires of Hell,
lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Your Mercy.
Amen

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins,
my Mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.

Praying for the repose of Jen's soul,and Tim's soul. Also for the dear children's health and well-being (emotionally, physically and spiritually)and all their loved ones/caregivers. Prayers continue whether able to post or not.

One (of the many) things that has always impressed me about the United States Marine Corps is the brotherhood and undying committment they have for one another and the families of their fallen. The bond is stronger than any other in this world. I guess it should come as no surprise, being their motto is "Semper Fidelis" or "Always Faithful". In life and death. Bigbadredpajamas (love the name, by the way), you exemplify what it means to be a U.S. Marine. You have remained faithful in supporting your fallen brother's family, and because of you, many people who would never have known of this situation have become aware and are praying at a time that is more crucial than ever. It reminds me of an instance a couple years ago when a Marine and his young son came to my door in Pensacola asking if there was any work they could do around the house for a small donation. The Marine's best buddy had been killed in combat a few months prior and he was attempting to raise money for his widow and two little girls. It was a humble effort and I asked him if they had made much money yet. He told me, "Sir, it honestly doesn't matter how much money we make. I just need to be out here doing something. In honoring this family, I am honoring my brother and the sacrifice he made. When they are gone, it's all we have left." BBRP, that's what you are doing here and I admire you for it. There are many people in this country who claim to be patriotic, but when men fall their families are forgotten. This story is a particularly tragic one, and these kids are going to need a lot of prayer throughout their lives. It may seem hopeless right now, but all is not lost. I have no doubt this young man, Kolton, and his two sisters have something most kids do not. The hero gene. Those kids had to have been born with a special strength inside of them. From all I've heard about their dad, who was probably one of the most amazing SF Marines this country has ever seen (if you haven't seen the military channel special on his 01/02 force recon unit, you need to)...and their mother, whom I haven't learned as much about but seemed to be a beautiful, strong, and loving woman. They had to have been hard-wired to be awesome people, regardless of the tragedy that has taken over their young lives. But they are in my prayers. I'm only a zoomie but I will committ to these kids and I will make sure to get them on the prayer list tomorrow at church. Prayers also go out to all those who have been tasked with helping them through this horrible time. It can't be easy. God bless them all, and God bless you BBRP for remaining faithful and updating all those here who have adopted this family in prayer. Blessings.
