• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Prayer requests post here!

No, suspicion of nastiness elsewhere...

Also, my wife's goddaughter, Anya, was bit by a Tick that came back with an analysis of Lyme's. We are scared.

Squeezing my family into a little old metal box soon and trusting it to carry us long distances...

Sent our eleven-year old (Andy) off on a major Scout Jamboree with his Scout group, minus parents.
My wife has taken the little metal box on a two-day trip before the big family one, and I am awaiting my ultrasound.

please play for the repose of the departed Archpriest Boniface Black. he was the founder of three thriving parishes, and helped with the founding of two others, including the Antiochian parish I go to when I visit my family. I had the blessing to meet him once and he was one of the most fatherly priests I know, and he never stopped laboring for the Church.

may his memory be eternal!

A couple of requests:
My newest little nephew is having an imaging test for his kidney today. Also, I start night shift as of tomorrow. Please pray that all goes well.
Prayers!

Is this your sister's Baby that was just born, and that you went out to see within the past few months?

Yes. They knew he had a kidney issue before he was even born (one never moved up where it was supposed to be). Now they're just trying to figure out how much of a problem it will be and if it requires surgery or not. He'll be a radioactive baby for about 48 hours.

ETA: BTW- I'm glad to see you got through your own procedure! You doing all right?

Poor little guy! Seems like he's been through a lot already in such a short life. I've been praying for him.

And yes I got through, thank you. I am still awaiting biopsy results, and I've never had to deal with a major surgery before so it hit me with a few surprises. But I'm doing better and today my brain is starting to clear a little bit. Thank you so much for asking. I'll be praying for your nephew and for you. Good luck with the job tomorrow! :)
