  • 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

Would really appreciate if folks could pray for my daughter - she has signs of coeliac disease and finds a gluten free diet helps, but a gastroscopy and several biopsies came back negative. Also, since the procedure, for which she had sedation and a local anaesthetic, she has had speech problems and is not getting any satisfactory answers about that either.

A third problem is that she is due to move out of supported living accommodation but it is not happening as quickly as she would like.

One very stressed out 36 year old with Asperger's Syndrome.

I have a prayer request for my little town in Washington, Cle Elum, I use to live there. Anyway, there are several nasty fires near there and one right behind the town, I just heard from my friend that lives there. Here is part of what she wrote:
Thank you so much for your prayers. The firefighters sure need them. We haven't had any wind today, but it looks like the fire is moving a little west which we're not happy about. It's 0 percent contained, but it sounds like it hasn't grown so far. It's about 500 acres and still on the other side of the ridge. They were dropping lots of water today again. I haven't seen any of the tankers dropping retardant today. Sure hope this fire doesn't spread. We at least have an evacuation plan, which is good. Bob and I have never talked about a plan, but we have now. Your prayers for the firefighters for all of the fires is greatly appreciated and prayers for our homes to be safe are needed also
Please add these folks to your prayers.

Praying for your town, Cle Elum, Washington, for the fires to be under control and put out soon. Sometimes lightning could cause fires; or if some of them are due to arson, pray that any perpetrators will be arrested or pay a penalty fine. Praying for other states and Calif. that fires will be under control and put out.

Thanks to those who have been praying for my daughter. Apparently her speech problems were caused by damage done to her vocal chords by the probe used in the gastroscopy and should clear up. If her speech isn't back to normal after a couple of weeks she will be referred to an ENT specialist. She will also be referred to a dietician as she needs to be on a gluten free diet. She can get gluten free food on prescription but I don't know what is available on prescription.

Finally, my daughter officially leaves her current accommodation on 14th September. She will stay here until she finds a place of her own. Prayers appreciated for the transition!

God bless you all!

Continued prayers Gillian, and praise God that the speech problem seems to be temporary. I hope the gluten-free prescription food is enjoyable, and that she finds a suitable place to live at the right time.

I hope everything is well with your friends Susie, and that the fires were put out safely.
