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.
Please...

Thank you jjoel; I'm thinking that that is God's plan for me through this divorce. I need to be living out 1 Timothy 4:12, in every single way possible.
Thank you Paulie
Ya know, it's not like they were fighting or angry at each other or anything, it just came out of the blue. This will be both of their second divorce, and the second one I will have gone through as well. I don't know how this will turn out. I am still thinking it all through. I have been praying, oh man, have I been praying...They are both strong Christians, and they know that divorce is wrong, and even called it "intentional sin" yesterday when they talked about it with me. My dad may be kicked out of the church (at least the ministries that he is serving in), which is really hard. My parents said that they know that God will not bless what they are going to do, but they are doing it anyway. One promise that I am holding close to my heart right now is that "In all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." I do believe I am qualified under that verse, so I know that He can do good things in me and through me. Ugh, I'm just feeling so depressed right now. Heh, my mom went to go and get my sister from school, and on the way home, she picked me up a frappucino to try to get me some energy. It is hard, but we all still have a sense of humor, and everybody is getting along fine. My sister doesn't know yet, and neither does any other members of the family. I know, my mom knows, and my dad knows. I'm not supposed to tell my friends or anything, but that's just so it doesn't get out to anybody else and rumor weed it's way around to family. So, I need to vent right now, and I can tell you guys. I love you all! 
My mom and I are going to look at houses tomorrow...really weird...I've always pictured my parents together. They've been together for about 11 years now. I'm still shocked.
Thank you Paulie

I know this is hard for you, but I just wanted to commend you on the attitude you have about all of it. Congrats on keeping God in sight, even with everything that's going on! I'll definitely pray for you and your family.
