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.

I hope and pray everything turns out OK for his business.It's ok, Ed.
I'm requesting prayer for my husband today. He has a huge day at work that could make or break his business. Please pray he has wisdom and is not nervous.
Thanks so much,

I am asking for everyone's prayers for my dear dear husband Bob. Last Saturday he fell about 10' when the ladder he was on broke, and he fractured his heelbone- it's a serious injury. He is in tremendous pain, and can't even have surgery to repair it until the swelling has gone down. We are hoping for surgery next Friday, but won't know till Thursday, for sure. According to the dr's he will be laid up for months. I feel so helpless that I can do nothing to ease his pain, (he is on max painkillers) and the upcoming possible financial fallout has me very fearful. I am doing my best to give this all to God but it is so very very hard. Please pray for our family.

Praying for your family LC!
One thing I found helpful when I had reconstructive surgery on my ankles, was having my sister and younger brother (and my Mom sometimes) rub my toes. It doesn't really take the pain away but it relaxes those areas and helps the painkillers work better. DogMom had her husband do it when she broke her leg and couldn't get comfortable. She said as soon as he started to rub the toes, her whole leg just relaxed.
I hope that, if you're able to try it (since I don't know what type of casting or mechanism he's in) that it will do something to help your husband's pain.
God Bless you all!

Thank you all for your prayers- this will be a long ordeal. Thank you Kae, for the tip- Bob has his foot wrapped but his toes are exposed. I was just reading about calcanus (that's the heel bone) fractures online and wish I hadn't. Nothing that was said was optimistic.

Can you guys please say a prayer that I can get through the next two weeks. I'm running a low grade fever and coughing - been like this since Sunday. I'm the first person to call in sick if I'm running a fever, unless we are getting ready for trial, and that's what we are doing. There's no one else to work on this case so my boss will be in a serious pickle if I don't go in. Thanks.

The only way I can make the coughing stop is if I take the stuff with codeine that I still have from last year, and I can only do that at bedtime. 
I hate being sick!!
I'm at home, but I'm aways so scared that work is going to be looking. Another valued co-worker was fired yesterday - she was also my notary for the adoption stuff and I still need stuff notarized. She was a secretary, but she was a legal secretary before the word paralegal was invented, and still believed in working your tail to the bone, and anyone who ever works in the legal field knows that's the one you go to before you go to the attorney that's only been doing it for a few years. Just a couple days ago, she found me an example of something we can use for the trial next week that saved us from HOURS of work reinventing the wheel. I just don't get it. Anyway, please pray that she can quickly find another job. The job crunch has affected our field, but thankfully not as bad.

I forgot to add, that it's her father that you had been praying about. He's still in a coma as far as I know.

A little while back, I talked about my other collegue who got pushed out. She ended up going to Wachovia to work in the legal department of the investment group defending securities litigation. While the banking end wasn't doing so hot, the investment end is still making money (Wachovia bought out AG Edwards a year ago, and that's the investment end now). Earlier this week, Citigroup announced the buyout of Wachovia's banking end. No biggie, the investment group is still in STL and will stay Wachovia. This morning, it was announced that deal has been scrapped and now there's a deal in place for Wells Fargo to buy out the whole thing, including the investment end. I just pray that her job remains safe. She is so happy over there.
