• 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

Prayers for Michael

Why do you think you're my favourite german iconographer ^_^
LOL! I do need to write an icon of St. Irenaeus of Lyons, but that will probably not be written until this summer. Right now I am working on St. Olivier d'Anconna (think about the name of my dog), St. Gregory the Theoologian and still working on St. George. I am also teaching my student to write an icon of Christ Emmanuel.

Oh dear! I was away on holiday when this happened. I am sorry to hear about your accident, Michael, but I am glad that you are doing okay.
I am ok. I am still a little mentally shaken over the accident, but my body is fine.

In discussing the car crash and the minor depression that set in from Tuesday until last evening Fr. Stevo commented that I should pray prayers of thanksgiving that God would allow me to begin lent in such a manner!

I think Fr Stevo (?) is right.

One thing I've been picking up from Chesterton is how life is a gift and to (really) realize that things could be other than they are. I get that with my head - now it's a matter of getting it to my heart. Just hope I don't have to go through nasty things just to learn that lesson...

No matter how much you get something with your head, sometimes it takes being godsmacked to get them with your heart. What I went through for a few days after the car crash was emotional hell and not a pleasant experience to learn at all.
