  • 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.

Prayers for feeling overwhelmed

I get so frustrated. I have three children...a son, 6, a daughter, 4, and another son, 11 mos. My daughter's moods control the house. When she's happy, we're all happy. When she's upset, it upsets the rest of the house. My wife works on the weekends from 7a-7p, so I have the kids all day to myself on those days. Well, I tend to do most of the housework as well, so when I try to do that, take care of the baby, etc, she usually feels left out. I make time for her, so that's not an issue, but she throws constant fits when she doesn't get her way, when she doesn't get the food she wants, when we don't play "her" way, etc, etc, etc. We're working on doing the show "Supernanny" techniques and they ARE working...but it's still new to her and so it's still a work in progress. So, I'm not asking prayers for her. I am asking prayers for me and my temper though. I can tell she gets her temper from me. I fly off the handle and just want to get so much done on the weekends, yet relax a bit, so I can have some energy to go to work the following week. I'm asking prayers for patience, and peace. (as my daughter is crying right now). Thank you all.

Lord, let the Holy Spirit take permanent resident in their home. Lift up the Spirit of his family. Show him how to best give love, and be a wonderful father. Control his temper, and guide him on the best way to deal with his children. In Jesus name Amen.
