  • 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 guys there was an update on kolton today. I had to have my wife read it to me on the phone bc I can't access facebook from where I am. But he is out of the juvenile detention facility and back at a boys ranch. If someone could post the update that would be cool thanks. And thanks again everyone for praying.

I was just visiting with Kolton and I wanted to take a moment to update y'all on his progress:

He was released from the detention center this morning and transferred to a different boys' ranch just west of Dallas. It's a long way from home, but we're working hard to get him back here and out of the system. The main concern right now is his violent behavior. The state won't relinquish custody until his homicidal/suicidal ideations are brought under control. Their concerns are valid and understandable, but I have a hard time believing Kolton will ever benefit from placement in a setting such as that. As a family we've come up with a plan that we all believe will have the greatest potential of helping him get through this traumatic time. I've been working hard on the legal side of it and seem to be making some headway. My hope is that by the end of the month, Kolton will be home with his grandpa and we can all start working toward repairing the little guy's broken life.

I got to ride with him on his way to the ranch today and he was actually very calm and collected. We had a good conversation and he confided in me many of his feelings. It was a good sign. I don't want to betray his trust, but the basic root of his behavior comes down to guilt. Kolton feels he dishonored his dad's final request, that he be the man of the house and look after his mom and sisters. It was just something Tim said to him before shipping off to Iraq for the final time, but it meant everything to Kolton. Now not only has he lost both of his parents in traumatic ways at a young age, he also has to live with the fact that his mom went through everything she did and lost her life when he should have been protecting her. He didn't say it in exactly those words, but that was the gist of what he was trying to tell me. I asked him why he wanted to kill people and hurt himself and he said he needs to get revenge. I suppose he meant revenge for the deaths of his parents, but he wouldn't elaborate. I don't know why he wants to kill even the people who love him most, but I feel like his emotions are on overload and he just doesn't know how to handle any of this. His mind is in complete chaos. He's at the worst age possible to have to deal with this stuff. Old enough to know what's happening, but still too young to have developed the necessary coping skills. Do I believe Kolton really does want to kill certain people in "revenge" for what happened to his mom and dad? Absolutely. And those are issues that need to be dealt with. There are many, many issues that will need to be dealt with now and in the future. Kolton's feeling of guilt is something that may haunt him for the rest of his life. His dad meant E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G to him and all Kolton can think is that he disappointed him in the biggest way possible. I wish there was some way he could see how proud Tim would be of him right now. He is an amazing little boy. It's hard to see that heart full of love through the angry exterior right now, but it's down there and it's my hope that we can all come together, provide encouragement, and help him make it through.


Father, please comfort Kolton, and somehow let him know how proud his Daddy would be of him. Bring him back to his family, Lord, keep him safe and surround him with Your love and peace. Please, Lord, take care of him as only You can. Please.
Amen.

Father chase the enemy from Kolton and shine YOur Light into his body, mind, and spirit. Keep Your protective hand upon Him and guide his feet how he should go. Make a way to a place where he can commence his healing, in the name of Jesus the Christ, the only begotten Son oy You, the living God, the God of the living, amen.

:prayer: Remembering these precious children before our Heavenly Father always . :prayer:

Matthew 19:14

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Mark 10:14

When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Luke 18:16

But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
