  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Just spoke to DIL, and she explained that her friend is now with Jesus in heaven. Our grand daughter's primary concern was that someone would be able to look after her. And as she reflected (as young children do) on that she was very sad but glad that Jesus was taking care of her.
Such a faith your grand daughter has. So sorry for this family - so very tough.

Congrats for your many years together with your bride.

Would it be too selfish of me to want to pray that this is the week we get our referral? There haven't been any referrals the last 3 weeks and they keep telling us we're next. Now I'm really starting to get antsy.
Prayers going up, Flip. I would be nuts waiting as you have been. God bless. :prayer:

I hope and pray that all things would happen in Lord's perfect timing.

Thanks,
In Christ,

Well, the job I got no longer pays the bills. I'm about half a 'k' short per month.

I share this here to ask for renewed prayers: another opportunity has come to me rather suddenly. It would be something I would enjoy doing very much, it's here in town, and between a reduced commute and the promise of an even salary ... it's everything I could want.

Help ... please.
Oh wow. I hope and pray you have the job to pay your bills and more.

In Christ,
Ed

Now why can't we have a faith of a child?

Such statements are so disarming. I agree with seajoy.

Prayer of Thanksgiving! There was a 6.4 earthquake in Taiwan a couple of hours ago. My niece serves as a missionary there. Team Taiwan, as we call the missionaries/teachers there, are all okay. Miner damage at the school. Early reports from the country is that there is not significant damage either.

Also asking for prayers for my new little godson and his parents. He has been having abdominal issues and the tests have been inconclusive. They see a specialist next. It has really been frustrating for them as well as little sleep for Mom and Dad due to little Josiah being fussy. He is only 6 weeks old.

Court hearing to make our adoption final is scheduled for Monday. Pray that the Ethiopian government somehow determines we are fit to be parents. Still doesn't mean we can go over there, but it's the next step, and the kids would be legally ours (meaning I can say what their names are and post a picture). Thanks!

Indeed, prayers of blessing and thanksgiving.
