  • 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.

Allspirit Song Lyrics

You've Got a Friend

Carole King

When youre down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,
And you know whereever I am
Ill come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.Youve got a friend.

If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, aint it good to know that youve got a friend?

People can be so cold.
Theyll hurt you and desert you.
Well theyll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but dont you let them.
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Oh babe, dont you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all youve got to do is call.
Lord, Ill be there, yes I will.
Youve got a friend.Youve got a friend.
Aint it good to know youve got a friend.
Aint it good to know youve got a friend.
Youve got a friend.

Psalm 91

Verse:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2: I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3: Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4: He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5: Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6: Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7: A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8: Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9: Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10: There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11: For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12: They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13: Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14: Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15: He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16: With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.



Lord, we gather in prayer
not for ourselves but, for our good sister
be appeased at her penance...
and raise her above her suffering
strengthen her with your Love...
comfort her with your forgiveness
bless her with your merciful touch
Lord you taught us to pray
"deliver us from evil"
Purge our sister of her plight
and after this give her your peace
This, we humbly ask of you
in the name of your Son
our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ

amen

Psalm 121


1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

***********************************************************

Subject: God's Wings





A little something to put things in perspective...
An article in National Geographic several years ago provided an
interesting picture of God's wings.

After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers
began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage.
One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes,
perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree.

Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick.
When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under
their dead mother's wings.
The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring
to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing
that the toxic smoke would rise.
She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies.
Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body.
The mother had remained steadfast...because she had been willing to die,
so those under the cover of her wings would live.

HE will cover you with His feathers,
and under His wings you will find refuge.' (Psalm 91: 4)

Being loved this much should make a difference in your life.
Remember the One who loves you,
and THEN be different because of it.

Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.
You will treasure it even more
when you can share it with someone special.

To realize the value of a friend...LOSE ONE.

Do not keep this letter.
Forward it to friends to whom you wish PEACE, LOVE, JOY and PROSPERITY.

People come into our lives for a REASON, a SEASON, or a LIFETIME!
Embrace all equally!

Matthew 18:20
For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them. Matthew 18:20

Does this count?

If this made you smile, your friends will smile too.


Sorry looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up








Thank you Mary

I wouls still appreciate your prayers if anyone stops by...I have new bites and problems with these mites everyday.

Shirley


Hiyah Shirley Sis'


If, an infestation such as that were to occur over here
The local-authority [Council]
would move the affected family and their pets out for several days
while the property was then sealed and fumigated
Because the chemicals /gases used are toxic
the property would need to be aired
before the residents would be allowed back

I wonder... do you have similar Health Watchdog systems over-there ?

Holding you up in prayer Sis'

your Bro'

We could try that Dave...but these mites are not affected by pesticides...it would not help in the long run...I may call an exterminator service anyway to find out if they know any more than I have been able to learn online...I am a carrier...the mites go where I go. :doh:

Good advice, Dave. I would hope such a service is available.

Either way, I am still praying, Angelwind

And thanks for the Carole King lyrics Dave. :)


I do value everyone's prayers...I really get rattled at times...I have poor health as it is...probably why I am so succeptable to these mite bites...they don't seem to like my husband.

I'm always amazed at how God leads us, and how what often seems the most random decisions sometimes are exactly where he wishes to strategically place us. This morning I stopped by to pick up a cappacino, and ran into a man I'd not talked to in many years who used to attend the same church we've now returned to (after 20 years). In chatting a bit, he blurted out that his wife was divorcing him, and began pouring out his heart to me. I promised to pray for him, and tried to encourage him to stay close to the Lord through it, if for no other reason than to be an example to his 3 children. He's so bitter and angry, but grudgingly admitted that he's been leaving God out of the equation more than he meant to.


I know that a few short minutes of visiting with him may not affect him much, but that prayer can, no matter the distance.

Will pray. Definitely sounds like a divine encounter. Sometimes you just don't know how much a few words may mean.

It is so LIKE Satan, to take advantage through our heartstrings
Old Beelzebub, will even contrive to obtain our souls via our loved ones

But, Love, conquers all.... and we must TRUST in His love
He, loves us
and WE, must love ourselves also !!!!

We GIVE, all we have.... to someone 'special'
who, will take, and take and take
and who will, eventually.... move-on to greener fields...

This, is not from any failing, of, our's
save for, 'misplaced affection'
wrongful CHOICE
unrequited 'love'


The more-distance there is, between such people
the quicker the 'wounds' will heal

The 'undeserved' affront, is the worst form of assault

Sometimes, life's 'roundabouts' have few accessible exits
unless and until, the way onto it, has been left, long-behind

However, NOTHING, happens
without causal influence/ incentive

The seeds of love, may have fallen, upon stoney-ground

There is every likelihood, that divorce, may be good for both of them
