  • 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

Howdy. Having had 11 kidney stones, I have some understanding of what she is enduring.

Lord, you are the creator and preserver of life. You have wondrously made us. As we live in this world, though, the effects of sins intrude in many ways. May you bring relief to Kassidy as she passes the kidney stones. Grant her strength, patience, and peace. May you use the doctors and nurses to provide the best care and relief for the pain. Through all of this may your name be praised. Through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen

Little Joshua's surgery is this morning. The family is very afraid.
Little Joshua came through the surgery very well. His MRI shows no bleeding in his brain. He is in a lot of pain, but the doctors are working on that. The parents said they could just feel all the prayers going up for their son. Praise God. :)

My brother Timothy was in an accident at work yesterday. As I have heard it, he was trying to break strength on some chain binders holding a can to a flatbed trailer when apparently something slipped. My supervisor ran around to see what had happened and found Tim holding his mouth with blood dripping down. He was taken to Allenmore hospital. The supervisor has told me that there is hole in his lip, he may have lost a couple of teeth and last thing heard was he was being taken in for a CT scan. We don't know if he broke his jaw or nor. I don't expect to see Tim at work today, which means we are down one loader, but I am asking for prayer that he will be able recover from this without too much difficulty. Thank you.

Update on Timothy:

He is doing well. He has stitches on both the inside and outside of his lower lip (which is really puffy right now). The dentist that did the emergency work on his damaged tooth did an excellent job, you can't tell it was ever broken. He is still in a lot of pain and he seems rather upset because of the time he's lost at work. At least he is doing alright and it looks like he will be able to recover fully.

Praise God for fixing up Timothy. :groupray:

I ask for your prayers for my congregation. Between the serious economical situation, bad weekend weather of late, and a rash of illnesses in an already small congregation, our finances are in serious trouble. Our church may not be able to continue much longer.

My Lord God. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to pray. May your will be done concerning this congregation. But I do pray for DaRev and his family. Please provide financial security to him and peace of heart and encouragement that you can provide.
I ask you this in the name of Jesus.
Amen.

Sorry you are going through this. Please know that God already knows the plans He has for you and your congregation. He will take care of you all.

Coming to all of you for prayers for my brother and sister in law again

Mom (and I) think that Melissa might have ovarian cancer. She has all the "point to it" signs but her current GYN is blowing her off. Her Mom is friends with a woman who is the receptionist for a very good GYN and this woman is working on getting Melissa into see him. Please pray that Melissa gets the needed tests and that she does NOT, in fact, have ovarian cancer.

And Keith is still having bad chest pains. His medicine helps but not enough and with Melissa being as sick as she is and with his high stress job (he's a Police Officer), it's just not going to get better. Keith will probably need a stint put in the vessel that's blocked by the deformity so that it (the deformity) doesn't squeeze so much that it cuts off the flow so completely.

They're in their young 30s and have 2 children, Lindsey and Luke, who are under the age of 10. Please keep them all in your prayers.

Thank you all so much.
