  • 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.

Ihave a feeling that i wont be online for some time

Please be good to each other
and take good care of you

About this time last year I was off of CF for 3 months due to a nerve injury in my neck it was painful and of course made Computing impossible. I missed all my CF friends so much. I will be praying steadily for you until you are once again up to communicating via cyberspace. Blessings dave

I just got a call from my son

His wife, Tamar, is ten weeks pregnant. She had a respite from the morning sickness for a bit when we prayed, but now she is very bad again.

She is not able to keep anything down. They had her on an IV, but now are going to put in a pic line. She has not been able to eat or drink anything the last two weeks--the IV has been keeping her hydrated.

Her life may be in danger as this pregnancy continues. They so much want this baby.

Please, please pray.

Thank you Diana :hug:

Max was 'put-to-sleep'
at 17.35 hrs tonight
[25 minutes to six pm, here]

Denis [one, of, Mary's 'sons'] took us [3] in his car
and brought us [2] home-again, afterwards
from the PDSA
[People's Dispensary for Sick Animals]
Which is, about 12 miles, away from our home
Max, was very calm whilst he, was given
three consecutive syringe-fulls of, anaesthetic
and he, settled 'quietly' within-seconds
of, the needle being-withdrawn

Mary and I, have.... previously, taken this path
for, our past, pets,
that they could depart this world 'comfortably'
and Max was, a lovely dog
Mary says, he, was a man's dog
and that she wasn't surprised how-well he 'took-to' me


The doc, says; I don't appear to have
seriously damaged my spine
but, that I can expect a deal of discomfort
for seven to ten, days
She prescribed me, further-supplies
of, the drugs, that, the hospital gave me
after, my hernia op
and advised, that I shouldn't, seek, bed-rest
as this, could mean my 'seizing-up' altogether

We are, going to miss Max, a whole lot, I'm sure
I just said to Mary, that the next-time we see him [Max]
he'll be running towards us and greeting-us excitedly
JUST LIKE A PUPPY... He was 14 years of age

I wish, to post this-reply in the forum
but, this screen will not permit me to copy the message

Thank you for your loving fellowship Sis'

your Bro'

dave and Mary

I am sorry....
this afternoon, I FELT,
that I would need X-ray /MRI
and would be hospitalized

But, I am blessed, sufficient, to remain
VERY-CAUTIOUSLY and SLOWLY 'mobile'
andso, I no-longer expect
to be at-all absent from these forums

again I thank you Sis'

Hello everyone, I have been reading through some of the posts I had missed. Prayers in secret come easier than my posted words..

Firstly, reading like this, seeing your prayers and heart care for your brethren..warms my heart.

I didnot have the opportunity to thank you properly for praying, forgive my wee panic! It took a grip like a bulldog..some things take a little time.

So now I can truly say Thank You..from my heart.

God answers prayers, I visualised His "inbox" what if He looked and nothing was there, but it overflows with loving prayers for His care and attention. That time side wasnot wasted it profited stillness!

'pic line'

Over here, we call this, a "peg"

It is, indicative of, the seriousness of, Tamar's predicament

Let us pray that doctors, are empowered
with ability to prolong her life
and ensure the birth of, the baby
the parents, would so like to see
grow-up with them

DAVE: I am so sorry about Max. It sounds like he lived a good and long life, he was a blessing in your life I'm sure. I am glad that you were not seriously hurt but SO sorry about Max.

ARIEL: I did not know about your son's wife until now. I will keep her in prayer along with your family as I know this is very stressful for you all.

I hope I did not miss anyone if I did it was not done on purpose.:pray:

DAVE: I am so sorry about Max.

I am glad that you were not seriously hurt
but SO sorry about Max.

This, was NOT.... 'totally-unexpected'

Over several months, Max, had been a little unsteady in his back-end
We 'had noticed' that he couldn't CROUCH properly
>at his 'business'

We, had [both of us] determined
that we would keep a 'close-eye' [vigil]
on his 'condition'
so, to ensure that at no-time...
would he, be, left to suffer [unnoticed]

He was, a big dog...
and I do not regret TRYING, to get him back indoors
but, my back let me know that I couldn't manage that task
and thankfully, I did not manage to lift him,
to have-to drop him again [?]

We, [Mary and I] have ensured that Max, did not suffer
pain, nor the inability, to do doggy stuff anymore

Yes, we both of us, loved him very much
and felt
that he, DESERVED our very best attentions
that, as much as we were loathe to let him 'go'
that, which we could do...
had to be done...
We will remember him..... OFTEN

dave and Mary

Eternal Father in heaven, I come to you this day with prayer for Ariel&#8217;s daughter-in-law having difficulty with her pregnancy. This life you have given is so tiny, fragile, and vulnerable, safe in the womb of flesh and hope, yet subject to danger and death.
O God of love, creator of life, hear my prayer. They want this baby so much.
Please grant this child as I am seeing a blessed full term of nurturing, the joy and mystery of life, and the blessing of your love. Grant this family the fulfillment of their dreams,
a baby to cherish and protect, a child to teach and guide, a blessing to their family.
I ask this in the name of Your Dearly Beloved Son who present with us as the Holy Spirit brings to us Your gift of life and healing.
