  • 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.

Lord, we give thanks for the many blessings of this life that we take for granted. How easy for us to overlook these, until we experience difficulties. Today we lift up Melissa and John David to your gracious care. According to your great mercy bring complete healing, strength, and restoration to both. Guide the doctors, nurses, and other staff as they extend your healing. Give each patient and family members peace, patience, and strength for the days ahead. Through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen

Last week, my coworker's daughter, Danielle, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Stage 3. She's being treated at the Mayo Clinic. Please pray for Danielle, her husband and children, and the rest of her family as they deal with this. She has a very aggressive cancer. The doctors say it's survivable, but it will be tough going.

Sorry about posting this twice but Prayers Please

I'm having surgery tomorrow. I get edgy every time I have an operation. I was awake during one of my surgeries because they didn't give me enough to put me to sleep. The paralysis drug took effect but the sodium pentathol wasn't a high enough dose so I was laying there paralyzed and wide awake. Finally during the cutting process I went into shock and they caught it on the monitors and put me under.

I get the jitters the day before. Prayers PLEASE.

Lord have mercy!

You have experienced one of my worst fears (there is very little that I fear)! My prayers will be for you alone tonight, as I will not be able to think of anything else.

May our Lord be with you, and send His Holy angel to watch over you.

Amen.

Relax, dear Brother in Christ. All will be fine...even when it's not, it's still fine. *G*

Many prayers going up for you and your Mrs. John. You'll be in and out before you know it. Please have Mrs John let us know how everything went!

Much love in Christ our Savior!!!

There is an update on Radman in the Alehaus.

I would like to ask you all to pray for my husband. He leaves for Germany on sunday, for his job. He is getting very nervous for the trip...and was not acting like himself this morning. He will be gone for 2 weeks. He is also afraid for me being alone that long, as one never knows when anxiety and depression will set in for me.

Thank you so much. It is a real comfort to have my on-line Christian brothers and sisters here.

Lord, what a wondrous God you are. We so often see the immediate crisis, you see how all this fits into your plans. For seajoy and her husband, may you grant them both peace about the trip. We pray, Lord, that seajoy will not experience the anxiety and depression during this time. Comfort her husband so that he can work effectively and not be distracted by these thoughts. May he only have thoughts of joy, peace, unity, harmony, and love. You know their needs, and you provide more abundantly for them.

Through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen

I just received a call from my Mom. My youngest brother, Keith, is in the hospital with chest pains and an irregular EKG. They suspect he's had a heart attack and will be doing an angiogram on him tomorrow morning. He's only 34 and has 2 young kids. Melissa, the one we prayed for earlier this week, is his wife.

Prayers, Angie! And know that you can call me if you need someone to talk with. I only wish I lived closer (or you lived closer ;)) so that I could BE there.
Thanks so much, Kae. That would be cool.



Prayers for your brother and his family. :groupray:

I had an angiogram done one me and while doing that they installed two stents by my heart some 2 years ago. I had blockages.
If this happens - cholesterol maintenance is a must! :)
Medicine regulates it rather effectively. Just need to take it.

I hope and pray everything will go well for Keith and his family.
