  • 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

spur of the moment thing guys.. There is a house up the street form me that has been empty for quite some time. It hit the market as a repo this weekend. I contacted a Realtor and inquired.. Thinking of buying it because it is just that cheap. Inspection is next.. My Realtor just called with a bid. I hope this is God's will... I certainly do... I've been watching the house (wondering) for a year now. :).. pray that the outcome be in God's will and pray that I honor him in this no matter what.

nice home in a nice older well established neighborhood but definitely a fixer-upper
Oh wow Connie...that would be awesome for you :thumbsup:

You have my prayers ~ God bless :pray:

I need more room and I can't grow old in a trailer.. it will literally fall down around me... I like the neighborhood and the house is listed pretty cheap... 3 bedroom and two bath...and a nice big back yard for gardening or just hanging out...
I don't know if this house is God's will for me or not... I am pursuing it as if it were and if it is not right it won't go through... :) I've been pre-approved for enough to buy it with and I've made the bid.. the rest is in God's hands...It could be that he meant it for someone else. :??????

We can feel the hurts (emotions) in our heart, but still care about people as you obviously do :thumbsup:

I admire your strong and independent spirit, and you have shown much care towards us, and your friend (with the stroke) etc etc :pray:

What you expressed does make sense, but that doesn't show here; it has been a blessing getting to know you :angel:

speaking of my friend with the stroke... if I am approved for the house... I am thinking of asking her if she would like to stay there for a small rent charge... Only thing is she has a 21 year old pregnant daughter who will try to come as well and I cannot deal with the daughter and all her drama... too much for me in my home... my friend cannot work and she has a prior bankruptcy.. she is having trouble finding housing... I can make this work better for both of us minus the daughter....

God has always provided me with just enough for myself, but not enough for me to care for anyone else... I've always wanted a less stressful existence so I could do things for others and try and be useful somehow... However, that has never been my path... That's what I mean by no resources... I gave freely when I was young.. Now I don't have the energy or the time or the money.... I have to be selfish... That's what I meant.

Oh I see ...and understand :thumbsup:
I feel the same these days....it isn't necessarily selfish, as it is more recognizing limitations of time, money, energy.
We just tire out in body, mind and spirit sometimes in life; it is enough just to get through a day (at least for me).
But all is well ~ we just do what we can, and pray for others when we can't do more :angel:

No word yet about being seen for the hernia?

I have-to call the health centre in the morning
I can then see any-doctor available BEFORE their surgeries begin
Thereafter, we'll know what and when treatment can be started

The cough is very tiring and so awfully painful
that it feels like I have damaged a rib, or, the connective-tissue around it

I did buy another 'two packs'
of Hall's EXTRA STRONG mentho-lyptus from the store earlier ....
It is, such a small small axe

Thank you for your prayers Gail Sis', Connie and you too Tom Bro'
:hug:

I will pray that God leads and guides you in this possible purchase. May God's will be done. I will also be praying for Meagan.

Hello Brother Dave,

I'm very happy to hear that you will be seeing medical folks QUICKLY. Please know that you will remain in my prayers until I know that you are completely well. If you get specifics that you want us to pray for, please let us know. In the meantime:

Hello Bro' Tom

When I phoned the Health Centre at 8am this morning
I was told that there was a doctor that could see me today [just one]
and, that it was going to be the doctor that refused to examine /treat me
four days before, I was taken to A&E [struggling to breathe]
I will see this doctor [tonight] at 5.10pm
There will be no update, until, after this appointment

I have heard from others [since I last saw him]
regarding, this particular doctor's PREJUDICE, toward smokers and drinkers

I appreciate your prayers for me very much :hug:

your Bro'

Hi Gail Sis'
Thank you for your prayers :hug:

We are just back from the Health Centre

My 'weight-loss' [it would seem]
is the result of taking Furosemide @ 40mg per day
[a gallon of water weighs approx' 10lbs]
~maybe I should drink 'more' ?

Under 'cough' test, the doctor could feel no movement behind / in my hernia repair
and suggests, that I should attend the hospital, in the event of a further excursion
because a strangulation could occur
But could palpate nothing to warrant a surgical intervention at this time
I am thinking, that he might have thought otherwise, had I eaten a meal a couple of hours ago

My cardiac exam on Tuesday next, is the highest priority in the computer
and my mention of night/morning cramps, was seemingly 'blanked'
while that appointment was discussed

[adjourned-only, sine die, the next Dr' appointment]

:hug: to everyone :wave:

your Bro'

dave

Hello Brother Dave,

I'm somewhat confused about the issues with the doctor, but I will make this a matter of prayer. I will be praying that additional kindness and attention be shown to you.

I Said a Prayer for You Today

I said a prayer for you today and know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart although He spoke no word!
I didn't ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldn't mind)
I asked Him to send treasures of a far more lasting kind!
I asked that He'd be near you at the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings and friends to share your way!
I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small,
But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all!

They want you to lose the excess fluid, given your past symptoms and cardiac concerns; increasing the amount 'may' not be good for you.

The doctor can advise you on how much water/fluids you should have.

Praying for your upcoming test, and for the Lord's will to be done re: the hernia.

May God bless you in His Merciful Love :crossrc:

Thank you Tom

Yes we also felt it was inappropriate of the doctor, to allow his personal opinion
to influence, whom he chooses to treat [regardless of, need]

Plainly, his failure to examine/treat me
then enabled the lung infection, to 'run-away' unhindered

His colleagues, have been made aware of the disdain we have
for his carelessness 'lack of concern', during that particular consultation

We have now, moved-on somewhat, since that time
and I have other matters, to get on with and 'enjoy' :thumbsup:

I didn't realize, that I had an EXCESS of, 'anything'

My weight was 'normal' [for me] and the rapid loss of so-much
was, a disconcerting surprise for us

The letter from the cardiac unit [hospital] received this morning
mentions, my heart, blood pressure and pulmonary readings, being monitored
as I walk on a treadmill, as a part of my examination, next Tuesday

I will update you all, in due course of events

:hug:

your prayers, are very-much appreciated

your Bro'

Hi Dave :wave:
Yeah, that upsets me to hear of your treatment; he should be reported!
That has happened to me in the past ~ almost losing my life with one doc.
In the end his actions with many others resulted in his license being removed (but several died under his care in the meantime) :eek:

You mentioned seeing your ankles again after a few days of treatment, so that was a sign, and being lean....
you wouldn't have noticed the weight on your body (eat up man ;) )
Praying all goes well with your stress test :pray:

Have a restful and comfortable weekend :hug:
