  • 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

hi all.  my wife and i are hoping for a baby and we think she could be pregnant.  but she's also had signs that she's not.  we're not sure, but the time is coming close when we'll know. 

please pray that God has blessed us with a child.  we are completely prepared if He decides the time is not right, though.

thanks much.

*************** UPDATE ******************

 :sigh: :help: 

okay, well, i wanted to wait a few weeks to tell you guys after we'd told the rest of my family and after the baby was in no danger, but we are pregnant.  :)

:sorry:

but we are in danger of losing the baby.  we are seeing the doctor today.  please pray that our baby is safe, if God wills it so...  it's so gut wrenching to think about it right now.........  :sick:

I just got the shivers!  Right before I came on this site today, I came across a prayer book, and leafing through it read this prayer that I will share with you and your wife.

Prayer to St. Gerard

For Motherhood

O good Saint Gerard, powerful intercessor before the throne of God, wonder-worker of our day, I call upon you and seek your help.  While on earth, you always fulfilled God's designs; help me, too, always to do God's holy will.  Beseech the master of life, from whom all parenthood proceeds, to bless me with offspring, that I may raise up children to God in this life and heirs to the kingdom of God's glory in the life to come.  Amen.

Good timing?  I pray this helps, and I will pray for you both.
