  • 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

Thanks Shirley :hug:

I hope your night wasn't too bad!
Keeping you in prayer for tomorrow :pray:

I drank the "stuff"...it tasted better than what I had 10 years ago; but have decided I will never do this again to myself...:p

I can't tell if I am just hungry or nauseated a little bit, maybe a bit of both.

It's Wednesday morning here - 1:00 AM. Tomorrow my little brother will have open heart surgery to replace a valve in his heart with an artificial one. I would greatly appreciate your prayers. He isn't even 60 yet, and I'm praying that he has many more years with his family. If I understand correctly, the surgery will take from 6 to 8 hours. Thank you sincerely in advance for your prayers. His name is Joe.

I am in the early stages of house buying.. Its a repo so its cheap.. It needs repairs but it is a nice home, (my trailer needs repairs as well that I just can't seem to justify right now because trailers only depreciate in value) (I've had a contractor come look at the home so I could see what I need to do with it) .Repairs needs are moderate but it needs a good coat of paint in most of the interior and some plaster roof on the interior ceiling and will need half of the shingles replaced sometime in the next two years. it also has some weather (ization) problems. I think in the long run I'm better off with my own property and my own home. But to be honest, I'm not sure. Lots of retired folks who have given up homes to live the simple life in my trailer park... It is still not too late for me to back out... pray that God gives me clarity and causes me to make the right decisions and stops me (in my tracks) if I'm making a mistake. I have only owned trailers and not homes... I've been watching for this house to hit the market for a year... it's here. I bid and they accepted.... now I have cold feet.

also, I have asked my friend (with the stroke ) if she would like to live with me. She can pay me a small rent charge and buy her own food and it helps us both. I could use someone to help (with her rent charge) and she is desperately lonely. I don't know if I told you guys or not but she is getting a divorce and needs houseing... she has a prior bankrupsy and is disabled and can't work so her husband is going to have to pay for anything she lives in... that means problems for her looking for a home. She's foudn one but it's not in the best of neighborhoods.... things are all up in a legal battle for her and she doesn't really understand it all. she says that the loneliness at night is hard for her because no-one visits and she can't get out to visit them. She drives and she can walk but its hard... she also has a toddler born just before her stoke... the child may or may not be part of the package. I'm not too sure about me and a toddler (lol).. .thanks....

Psalm 111
New International Version (NIV)

1 Praise the Lord.
I will extol the Lord with all my heart
in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

2 Great are the works of the Lord;
they are pondered by all who delight in them.
3 Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
and his righteousness endures forever.
4 He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and compassionate.
5 He provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers his covenant forever.

6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
giving them the lands of other nations.
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy.
8 They are established for ever and ever,
enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.
9 He provided redemption for his people;
he ordained his covenant forever—
holy and awesome is his name.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.

May the Lord go before Joe, be with him and the medical staff, and bless him with renewed health.
Praying for strength and hope for you and your family Tom, as you wait through the procedure, and assist him in recovery.
May God bless you all in His Merciful Love :crossrc:

I'm not too sure about me and a toddler (lol).. .thanks....
Here we have retirees moves from larger homes to smaller ones, and not just trailers....so it is feasible...and you are still young ;)
You did mention the child being very disrespectful when you got together with your friend.
That concern needs a lot of thought and prayer, because she may be there 24/7, and if something happens with your friend's health, you may be the one caring for the child at times.
That may be a good thing for the child and your friend, if you two can discuss and agree on a concerted effort in discipline, and she can learn respect and self control in general.
Plus the child will be growing and maturing and headed to school soon enough.
Praying for your direction, blessing, and peace in this major decision :pray:
