  • 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.

Prayer needed for child in a coma...

Yesterday I was told that one of the students in the school I work nearly drowned in a swimming pool. He's one of our Pre-Kinder students, only 4 years old. Right now he is in a coma, and his chances look very dim. A scan reveals very little brain activity and extensive damage. They are attempting a procedure with blood to try and restore some brain activity and possibly have him come out of the coma. Chances are he's not going to make it, but if he does awaken, he will have severe mental problems for the rest of his life..

I just want to ask for prayer for this small child. To give the doctors the guidance and wisdom they need in treating him, and his family the emotional and spiritual support to get through this ordeal. I know God specializes in miracles, so we are praying that His will be done. I know that there is a reason for something like this happening and we can't see it now, but He knows why things like this happen.

I made a mistake in the OP.. the child is actually 3 yrs old..

I'm still waiting for news on this.. it has me so sad.. I can't stop thinking about it.. His parents, which are saved, are being such an example though.. His mother has maintained her composure and is using this time to share God with family and friends. That's the type of faith I want.. that no matter the situation my eyes don't stray from the Lord.. Of course she is sad and stressed about the situation, but there is definitely a sense of peace in her heart for what the outcome might be...

Thanks for the prayers.. It's one of the most powerful tools we have as Christians..

Ok.. quick update... the doctors performed a procedure using stem cells in order to stimulate some brain activity.. but so far it hasn't done much.. It's more about waiting now to see if brain activity and reactions begin to pick up.. but it's not looking good at all for the kid...

I appreciate all your prayers.. his family is going through a pretty rough time right now..
