• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

I'm trying to get myself and the rest of the family back to church and could use some prayer please.
Getting yourself there will be the easy part...you want to go. :) Praying for both you and your family. :prayer: They will follow your lead, Z.

God bless,
seajoy

I just wanted to give an update on our situation...

Our son is doing MUCH better in school! He is happier, getting more work done, fully engaged, and even helping out in the classroom! He still talks a lot, and is out of his seat a lot, but I'm sure those will calm down with time. I really think the medicine has helped. I don't really see a change at home, because the medicine wears off about a half hour after he gets home. That is what the doctor had told us even before we started giving it to him, so I was prepared for it. He also said that this type of medicine doesn't build up in the system, which I believe is a good thing too. I am just so relieved that everything seems to be working out much better now!

Thank you to all who prayed for us!

I'm glad to hear things are going well.

If you all would pray for my daughter...
Here meds don't seem to be helping. She's having a lot of trouble at school. When she's disciplined at school, she laughs or seems not to care at all. She's only 6 years old and in kindergarten, so these issues are a major concern for our family.

Please pray for my parents' best friends, Margie and C.E. Their son shot himself yesterday afternoon and last we heard, he was taken off life support. They have been facing some other hard challenges and Margie is very fragile, so my parents are understandably concerned and upset and will be following them the 350 miles north of here to help them as much as humanly possible through this tragedy.
Their son's wife had left him just before Christmas. He leaves behind 4 children. :crossrc:
Thank you.

I just got off the phone with our neighbor, Helga. She is sick with pneumonia and her boyfriend has completely forsaken her. She is asking for people to pray for both her health and the heartache she is feeling. It is my personal prayer that God will heal her and bring her into the relationship that he desires for her.
