  • 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.

Praise report (I think...)

I'm sure many of you remember reading my posts from a few months ago, regarding the guy I was interested in (and who used to be my friend), that ended up dating a very mean girl (who also used to be my friend). Well, today I think I had some sort of a breakthrough in that situation: I forgave the girl for all the mean things she did to me and to our other friends last summer. It was tough, believe me, but I wrote her a letter (I don't intend to send it) telling her that I need to make peace with her and that I need to truly forgive her in order to move on. I felt much better after writing it, and it was a huge step in the right direction. Up until today, I don't think I really wanted to forgive this girl.
Now, I'm just trying to stick with this, no matter what happens. I'm scared of having this newfound resolve tested in some way, but if that happens, I have no choice but to get through it somehow. I just wish I didn't have to be hurt anymore...
Anyway, my whole point in posting this was to thank God for His goodness in helping me forgive this girl. I couldn't have done it without Him!! :clap:
