• 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.

  • 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!

Hopefully this will be my last time asking for prayer on this issue. :) I go to the doctor in the morning for the results of my test. I'm praying for God's will ... but I'm also praying for good news.

Thank you all. God bless you.

New prayer request for my sister that just had the baby. Physically everyone is doing fine, but there are some serious issues with her husband's family going on right now, and things are not going well. My husband and I are so upset on my sister's behalf right now, but the gist is that her mother-in-law went out to visit for 18 days, caused major drama/stress/antics, and has her husband choosing and believing his mom over her. The level of crazy antics by her mother-in-law are absolutely outrageous.
Anyway, my sister told me she's depressed by everything going on and has requested they both go to counseling. Please keep them in your prayers.

I'll pray for her and her family! Family stressors, especially with in-laws overstepping boundaries can be really difficult for everyone involved. Lord have mercy on them all!

Also, please keep my cousin in prayer...her breast cancer just came back, and she is going to go into some strong chemo. She already had a double mastectomy, but she will be having some more lymph nodes removed. She is also pretty depressed about this recurrence, as they thought the surgery took it all. She is only 27 years old!

Lord have mercy!

Seashale, will keep the family in prayer. I'm glad they are doing well physically. But it's certainly no time for family drama. I fear I often have little tolerance for people who do such things, especially at the worst possible time.

And Laura, I will pray for your cousin as well. That's such a huge worry, I know.

Lord have mercy!

Going in for an operation on Tuesday (my knee). If anyone can spare a prayer for a poor old grouch...

Prayers for you! Lord have mercy!

Just got out of the operation. Being wheeled naked covered by a sheet is weird.
Anasthesia still working.
It'll be a week or two before I know how effective the operation was. For now, forbidden to walk.
