  • 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 please- thank you!

Can you guys please pray for me, and for Joe? First of all, about him.
Tonight we were talking on the phone, and I realized he sounded down. When I asked him about it, he told me how he'd had a very long and stressful day. Then I asked him to tell me about THAT in particular, and he said he couldn't right then. So I do not know what is going on with him, and I am concerned. I'm sure you guys can understand how I feel. I appreciate any prayers for whatever is bothering my guy, that he will seek God and find rest in Him.

As for me, I realize that sometimes I can be pretty sarcastic towards Joe, almost critical and hurtful. I really dislike it, and I apologize, but I would like to do it less and less. Please pray that I will think before I speak and not hurt his feelings, even if he says I didn't.

Thanks sooooo much!
Lynz

Thanks for your prayers and words of wisdom. I sent him an email last night to let him know I am praying for him and for him not to hesitate contacting me if he needs to. He didn't call me today, so I hope that is a good sign. I should be able to talk to him about this tomorrow, though, as long as he is able and willing to share with me. However, there are about 4 things that have come to mind as to why he was the way he was last night.

1) Last year, right around this time, his grandma died.
2) His dog had puppies about 5 weeks ago. When I saw them Sunday night, they were running around and cute as can be, but what if one got hurt badly or died somehow?
3) At his church, a man's nephew's baby girl has been very sick, and there may have been bad news concerning that.
4) He got a letter back from the university that he applied to, rejected.

It may not be any of these things, just one, or a combination. Just the thoughts that have popped into my head. Anyway, I know God's working it out and that all will be okay in the end.

Thanks again!

I just wanted to tell you all what was going on with Joe. I found out Friday. The other day had just been a bad day for him. He was feeling some pressure from his family to do something he didn't really want to, and his computer was not working right for him at school. The worst thing was that his mom had gotten upset with him, and it really bothered him.

So, still, it's good that it wasn't any of those things I mentioned above. Thank you for your prayers. But I appreciate your continued prayers for just him and his family and also for me and my words to be gentler. Thanks again.
