  • 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

Hello all. One of my mom's best friends from high school, Sandy, died on Friday from a very rare brain disease called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, which affects 1 out of 1 million people. From what I have heard, they think it may have been caused from an accident Sandy had as a teenager, but I'm not sure if that's true or not. Sandy was only 47. We happened to run into her over the summer, just a few weeks before all of this started. I'd never met Sandy before then, but she seemed very nice.

Please pray for my mom and all of Sandy's friends and family in this difficult time.

Need prayers for my family and some friends of ours. A friend inexplicably committed suicide on Thanksgiving night. I can't get my head wrapped around it. Guess its not something I'll ever truly understand. He left three young sons and a wife. Terribly tragic.

God Bless[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]

For my work situation...they won't let me work from home 3x a week when I'm off leave. Pray they'll allow me to work part-time 3x a week so I don't have to pay full time daycare. We have fallen in love with a centrally located daycare (between my husband and my jobs) and they have flexible scheduling so I am trying to work with my job.

EDIT: Employer won't budge.

My husband and I both applied for different jobs at another company and we've both been told our skillsets are good fits. I really feel as if this is the door God's been waiting to show us. I hope it's a double door. So now...pray for that :)

My wife is 27 weeks pregnant. Please keep baby Isaac in your prayers. He keeps trying to come early. We already have it set up with pastor for instant baptism but we are praying for at least 37 weeks! Blessings!

My best friend was born at 24 weeks. It's a tough road but at least doctors are well trained now and there is much more monitoring available. I was closely monitored because of the risks associated with gestational diabetes.

Your pastor can do an emergency baptism if needed. Mine offered if we had complications.

Not only do I have an interview with a company I wanted to work for, but my business partner who is also a Christian is hiring and we skipped the interview process and he is going to talk to his accountant. I would definitely prefer the latter situation because I know I would never have to work on anything morally questionable. Plus I have known and worked with him for years on freelance projects and I contract work to his other programmer. It's in an ad firm also run by Christians and I have wanted to work there but no opportunities opened up. The fact I can do front end code and design makes me able to do more.

:) very happy - and I could work from home 1-2 days a week and be with my girl.

I was born at 25 weeks and am perfectly healthy today, if it helps at all. A nurse (I think she she was a chaplain?) at the hospital baptized me the day after I was born. Praying baby Isaac will stay put for a while! :)

Officially hired (by the Christian) :D

It's kind of ironic...how we got to talking about Christianity years ago came from the Christian Forums bookmark I had on a screenshot I had shared with him and a client. Oh...and he is on the very conservative end. Phew!

I have a prayer request for my grandma. She recently had an outpatient surgery to remove a mass from her private area. It turns out that it was cancerous. The doctors think they got it all, but are going to test her lymph nodes in a couple weeks. The doctors say it will be treatable if they find anything else. Please pray for her. I'm really worried because her mom and two of her sisters all died from cancer. Her dad may have had it too, but I was little when he died so I don't remember...

Prayers going up for your grandmother, Lprdgecko :prayer:

Thank you :) She had surgery this past Monday to remove some of her lymph nodes to see if the cancer had spread at all. The surgery went well and the doctors don't think it has spread, but we won't know 100% for sure until the test results come back. I'll keep everyone updated.

My grandma is cancer-free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Thank you to everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers. I'm going to call her later on tonight to see how she's doing. Apparently she's sick to her stomach from her medicine, but besides that she's doing well from what I understand!
