  • 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 have an urgent prayer request from a friend of mine.

My good friend, Shelly H, sent me this message and the newslinks at the bottom yesterday. Please pray for her friends since high school, Beth and Daron D. Their 8 year old son accidently shot their five year old to death on Friday. It looks like the parents may be charged because of the gun being in the house, and I beleive their 8 year old son was taken from them and placed with relatives. They are good Christian people who love the Lord and this is truly a tradgedy. I'm sure they would appreciate your prayers.


"Shelly's message and the news links":

Please pray for Beth and Daron D. They went to high school with me. This morning their 8 year old son accidentally shot his 5 year old brother in the head. The boy did not survive. Daron is the minister of music at First Free Will Baptist in Gastonia, NC. The news stories are below.

Thanks for your prayers for them.

Sorry to keep coming back at all of you like a bad penny, but things are not going as well as I had hoped for us here.

I'm doing well in my job, however, my depression and anxiety disorder are kicking up really bad again lately and as a result I've missed four or five days work since I started work in October.

Today the manager of the helpdesk said he wants to have a meeting with me and the company that outsourced me on Monday. They say they want to try to assist me by perhaps adjusting my shift or reducing my hours, so that I can continue to contribute. I'm thankful for their helpfulness, but the more serious outcome of this could be that if I don't stop missing time from work due to illness I may lose my contract with IBM.

My dear wife has suggested I try eating more nutrionally minded which we both agree is a good idea and I've made an appointment with my doctor.

I always worry too much but I fear that any more lost time is going to result in me pounding the pavement again and neither my wife nor I want to go there again.
I haven't been this sick for awhile and I'm asking for prayer and intervention from our heavenly Father. I need this contract.

Either that or pray that I win the lottery tonight.

Thanks.

My mom and dad in law have been gone most the day, and my dad in law just called to tell me they went to eat and then to Wal Mart, then to the ER where they've been since 3.
They are taking her by ambulance now to Macon (bigger city, much better hospital) to check her heart.
She's been having these pains since Friday night on and off, and on Saturday was very pale.
Please Pray all will be ok!
Thank you
Love and Hugs
Tammy

PS...praying for all above too.,..I guess when I lost 1/2 my thread subscriptions this one was one of them :-(
Back on my faves now!
