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.

Two requests from me today.
First--my nephew Fred and his Marine unit left for Iraq on Friday. They plan to reach their base by the end of this week.
Second-- my brother in-law called last week to let us know he and his wife are expecting their second child--almost 16 years after the first one. Due to some soap opera like aspects of this relationship I'm not really sure how excited to be over this news.

This seems like such a trivial request compared to the others there, but my 18 year old dog needs me to have him put to sleep as of three weeks ago, but I don't have the money. His back is very bad now, and so he staggers around, falling over and getting himself into trouble. I just found him wedged underneath my dresser, and since my youngest dog, who I depend on to alert me to his weirder predicaments was asleep at the time, he was there long enough to whine, which he almost never does.

I was going to ask for prayer for my neighbor that rents a small apartment here from me. He has issues due to Alzheimers.He needs to be in a home I just can't get his kids to admit him.
Hi Plan 9. I felt heart sick hearing your vet wouldn't let you relieve your pets pain by performing the procedure on a sliding scale. I'm appaled. Really. So,what came of this situation? Prayed here. Please pray for my neighbor. He almost set himself on fire from a kitchen griddle he filled with oil.

Thank you for praying!
Well, he only charges fifty dollars, and thirty-five of that is for coming to my home, so his prices are already very low.
As it turned out, I had the money after all, and my home help aid was able and willing to make a special trip get it for me from the bank.
However, the Old Guy passed away quietly a couple of hours before the vet was due, having made the transition from sleep to coma hours before. He was quite the trouper, but insofar as I could perceive, he didn't suffer any pain by his standards, at least.
Please pray for my neighbor. He almost set himself on fire from a kitchen griddle he filled with oil.
I will pray! Perhaps they'd consider hiring him a companion?
I know what it's like to need help to continue living at home, and MO Senior Services provides me with most of the help I need by funding the home care provider of my choice, Oxford Health Care.

Yes, he sure did, didn't he?
I'm doing some calling today about getting social services involved with my neighbor before he ignites the town.
That's a fine idea, charvel! The help I get from various social services allows me to live independently, rather than go into a nursing home, and such help is likely to be available to him, too, whereas his family may be unable to have him placed in a nursing home, supposing that's the best thing for him, and that can be a hard call to make until other nonflammable alternatives have been fully explored.

My neighbor is going into a state funded home about 30 miles from here due to lack of help from his family.How can people be so cold and heartless when someone has lost their full capacity to understand things. I feel as though I let him down by reporting things but at this point his safety is at stake and I can't watch this tennant night and day. Pray for him to understand the way things are going.

I'm so sorry to hear that, but you did the right thing, charvel!
Sometimes state nursing homes are good places, you know...and you couldn't let him suffer a terrible home accident.
Not long ago, I suffered a relatively small one myself and I needed all the help I could get...I still do, as a matter of fact.
I also know how bad it feels to care more for someone unrelated to you than does the person's family, and to be unable to help as much as you wish you could.

If I hadn't have called the police would have begun motions to have him taken to state care anyways.
I do pray he will get the peace and medical watch he
needs. He was getting out of control.
Thanks for praying and I'm glad I asked for prayers
now that I look back. Have a good rest of week Plan9!

I think we should also be praying for this Afgan man who converted from Islam to Christianity and is now facing death charges because of it. If you havent heard just go to CNN.com.
This guy is a new believer in Christ and is ready to die for his belief in Jesus. We must all lift this man up in prayer.
