  • 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.

I have been struggling a great deal for the past few weeks. I had a not-insignificant dental surgery late last month, and since then I've had stomach upset, stress, and expectations in my life keep piling on. I think I've figured out why my stomach has been so upset, but in the time I've been recovering, I've lost valuable time preparing my apartment for an inspection this Friday.

My ADHD makes it impossible to keep up with cleanliness and tidiness on the best of days, so I have a little more than 24 hours to clean my apartment, and it's going to tough. Please pray I can get it done, so I won't have a failed inspection and re-inspection weighing over me. I have another, minor dental operation on Tuesday next week, and I'd really like to not have the stress slow my recovery from that one.

Perhaps even more importantly, my spiritual well-being has taken a hit as of late, because being sick means I've been isolated from friends and family and my church group. Even this morning I stumbled into sin, and I confess before God that I've erred against Him. I need to find my center again and keep my focus on Him, instead of rushing to my old coping mechanisms for stress and depression.

I pray that God would help you prepare for these apartment inspections. I also pray that God would bring you back to full health so that you won't be isolated any more. In Jesus' name, amen.

Thank you for your prayers. I failed my apartment inspection, but they're giving me another 30 days to finish, which is great. My health is recovering, thankfully.
