  • 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

Praying for my lower lumbar spine and sacrum X-ray and MRI with contrast will find the source of the debilitating pain when trying to sit or take a walk.

It feels like my sacrum and pelvis have subluxed or are out of place and one of the discs is bulging and pinching on a nerve, so we have to find the areas to fix and to heal.

You are in my prayers every night. I will pray specifically that God gives the doctors skill to give you the best treatment possible.

Yes, I will always be in pain and have severe arthritis and fibro and a muscle disorder called dystonia. My neck is very severe and kyphotic, with impinged nerves and stenosis, and bone spurs in there.

Thanks for the prayers

We've had three earthquakes since 9:42 last night - all over 3.0 in magnitude and 3-4 miles away (ENE) from our home in Central Oklahoma. The last one woke me up about 2:49 A.M. The biggest one was 3.5 magnitude at 12:18 A.M. today. I'm not aware yet about property damage or injuries. I just checked, and we've had six earthquakes over 1.5 magnitude in the last seven days. Living near earthquakes is new for my wife and I, so we would appreciate your prayers.

Wow Tom :o that is a lot!
The few tremors I have felt here in the Northeast were alarming;I can't imagine experiencing yours, or something major!
Being older and having health concerns doesn't help matters.
Praying for your safety and peace!
God bless you, your wife, and community :crossrc:

Earthquakes are new for my wife and I. Neither of us know much about them. I don't know if these would be considered large or not. We just had two more - one at about 3:46 PM and one at about 5:16 PM. We don't have any details from an official news source yet. Thank you sincerely for the prayers.

We would be in the same boat...and no matter what you know, they are still alarming and can be dangerous.
Continued prayers for safety and peace :crossrc:

We just had a bigger one at 9.56 PM - a 4.4 magnitude - again very close to us. This one scared us and we do have minor damage that we know of (i.e. broken pictures and other things thrown to the floor). My wife and I are fine - just very concerned about what's next. If you want to read about it on the Internet, it's Edmond, Oklahoma. All of them have been in the same general area - about 4 miles ENE from our house. Please do keep us in your prayers.

My husband just had a scan done on his chest checking for any lung disease or other issues. Pray that all goes well with the testing."

Agreeing in prayer for your husband, that the scan of his chest and lungs will not show any disease or illness. Praying for total healing for his lungs and chest.

Praying for my lower lumbar spine and sacrum X-ray and MRI with contrast will find the source of the debilitating pain when trying to sit or take a walk.

It feels like my sacrum and pelvis have subluxed or are out of place and one of the discs is bulging and pinching on a nerve, so we have to find the areas to fix and to heal.

Agreeing in prayer for u2spicy, that your x-ray and MRI results show a good report, that there will not be any diseases. Praying for healing for your lower lumbar spine and sacrum, that the Drs. will find out what is causing the pain, for the right treatment, and that you will have no more pain or discomfort.

Praying for Bro. Tom and his wife, for God's protection and safety concerning the earthquake and tremors. Praying for safety for all the people in that area.

I'm beginning to lose count of the earthquakes we've had since the first one - 8-1-2017 at 9:42 PM. I think that it's eight, and all were 3.0 magnitude or greater except one - 8-2-2017 at 5:16 PM - 2.6 magnitude. We had a 3.5 early this morning at 1:40 AM and a 3.3 at 11:11 AM this morning. We give thanks that there are no injuries or serious property damage reported that we know of. Many are thinking these quakes are being caused by the controversial oil exploration technique known as fracking. I'm still trying to get an education on all of this. Please keep us in your prayers.

Glad that there are no injuries or serious damage to any property. Praying that the earthquakes and tremors will not be severe quakes, and for protection for the people in the areas of the quakes.

Whatever the cause....that's too many, even if some could be aftershocks. Scary!!
Thankfully there are no injuries or major damage (except to nerves).
Continued prayers :pray:

Hello, Tom :)

I understand how unsettling your experience of these earthquakes has made you ones feel. I have experienced earthquakes here in NZ and the biggest was last November, the Kaikoura earthquake, at magnitude 7.8, which literally rocked the entire country. That was pretty scary, but we only suffered two deaths in the whole country as a result. I have prayed for you ones, and I thought I would give you a link to check out as well. It pertains to earthquakes in NZ, but you may find some of the info useful and reassuring. God bless!

Thank you sincerely for the information. We give thanks that the earthquakes seem to have stopped - at least for now. I've tried to read about magnitudes and know that our 4.2 would be tiny in comparison to your 7.8.
