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.

The Warning
Please repost this, wherever you feel it most needed
via /shared by: Donna Zurfluh
DRUGS..................
I destroy homes, tear families apart,
take your children, and that's just the start.
I'm more costly than diamonds, more costly than gold,
the sorrow I bring is a sight to behold,
and if you need me, remember I'm easily found.
I live all around you, in schools and in town.
I live with the rich, I live with the poor,
I live down the street, and maybe next door.
My power is awesome; try me you'll see,
but if you do, you may never break free.
Just try me once and I might let you go,
but try me twice, and I'll own your soul.
When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie.
You do what you have to just to get high.
The crimes you'll commit, for my narcotic charms
will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms.
You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad…
When you see their tears, you should feel sad.
But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised,
I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.
I take kids...
from parents, and parents from kids, I turn people from god,
and separate from friends.
I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride;
I'll be with you always, right by your side.
You'll give up everything your family, your home,
your friends, your money, and then you'll be alone.
I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give.
When I'm finished with you you'll be lucky to live.
If you try me be warned this is no game.
If given the chance, I'll drive you insane.
I'll ravish your body; I'll control your mind.
I'll own you completely; your soul will be mine.
The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed,
the voices you'll hear from inside your head,
the sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see;
I want you to know, these are all gifts from me,
But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart,
that you are mine, and we shall not part.
You'll regret that you tried me, they always do,
but you came to me, not I to you.
You knew this would happen, many times you were told,
but you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.
You could have said no, and just walked away.
If you could live that day over, now what would you say?
I'll be your master; you will be my slave,
I'll even go with you, when you go to your grave.
Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It’s all up to you.
I can bring you more misery than words can tell.
Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell...

Lord, we do not build our homes on sand
but, as you have taught us, we have built them upon rock
Lord, we thank you, that you are our 'rock'

Please join with me in prayer for, RuthD
She had so hoped for pain relief after a nerve-block injection
and has become so-depressed since
that she blames med's for her ongoing problems
and is going cold-turkey [with them] in an effort to avoid those 'side-effects'
Let us pray, that the Lord guides her steps to healing
and that she will then feel 'much-better' very soon
Lord hear our prayers

Sister Gail,
Thanks sincerely for your prayers. 6:00 AM in the morning comes early, and I'll be happy to have this over with. I'll probably be ordered to stay in bed one or more days, depending on what they have to do. I'll go home that same day if they don't have to do anything. Regardless, I know that God will be with me. I did the pre-op and signed all the papers today. The nurses told me this is routine procedures that they do every day.

Been there, done that. May the Lord have mercy and grant her relief. This too shall pass.P.S. Cold turkey is not the best way to go (IMHO).....try weaning strategically....reduce by 25% per two weeks....this will minimize the side-effects and grant her some relief but total relief requires patience.
