  • 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

A reporter today asked me if I would like to be a featured "Familiar Face" for this week...she writes an article about one person a week in this town. The person is interviewed via email (because typing is easier for a lot of people) then the article, along with a head shot of them is placed in the local newspaper so people can get to know you. I'm excited!! I get to share my passions, my faith, and even give props for my church and my photography! Yay!

I got a good deal on a coat this morning. I ordered the ebony one...XL.
Merona® Men's Peacoat - Assorted Colors : Target

I would try it on first, but none in stock in the stores. Still, it gets good reviews.
:)

Well, won't you look dashing! :D Though for some reason, I hear "peacoat" and in my head the coat is green. I know not all peacoats need to be pea-green but I just can't help it!! :doh:

In other news, having fun working out twice a week and wanting to try being Gluten-free, honestly, not for myself, but Remi's got a wheat belly and it's been driving him nuts for years. I think a little less wheat might be a good thing for a while....

I get to go to church this morning and as part of the greeters' ministry my husband and I get to greet the families, children, and others who come to two different services. A blessing!

And I love it! It fits and has just the right inside pocket that I like. I had to put it on to remember I had a coat similar to this when I was in high school. So there's the nostalgia factor too.
:D

Dear husband and I are beginning to share questions for small group and individual use called "Sermon Bible Studies" together each week. These are sent out by one of our pastors and based upon the weekly sermons. Wow, how blessed I am! So good to see and share what the other is hearing. Thanks be to God for this. :clap:

I started a protein sparing modified fast 2 weeks ago. I've only lost 2 lbs, but... and this is a big but, I've lost 3 inches off both my waist and hips. I know I've lost more than 2 lbs worth of fat, but I've been lifting weights so I'm sure I've gained some muscle. I've gone from a loose size 8 to a snug size 2. My last day on it will be this Friday so I'm sure those 2s will fit perfectly by then. And yes, I'm doing this under a doctor's supervision.

Yeah, I have a set of dumb bells my biggest ones are 8 pounders. I know that's light, but I'm a girl. LOL. I also have a 15 lb kettle bell that I use but much less than the dumb bells. I'm not looking to get ripped, just toned.
