  • 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

Hi all,

Just wanted to give an update on Amanda.  (for those who don't know, she is my wife, she was paralyzed in an accident on June 17th.)

She is progressing amazingly.  God is healing her and giving her more strength every day.  She is gaining more use of her arms daily, and is even able to support herself with them to sit up.  She put a shirt on by herself tuesday. :clap:   She still has not regained her grip in either hand, nor any feeling in her lower body.  But, God is working, and we see progress daily.  He is wonderful!

Thanks again for the continued thoughts and prayers.  We truly appreciate all of you.

To DJ:

My prayers are for you, your wife, and also for those amazing physical therapists who dedicate themselves to spinal cord injured patients, to help them attain the very maximum of their potential. We are very blessed to live in a time when medicine, engineering, and perseverance can literally re-write the books on paralysis today!

God bless all of you!

Lambslove,

I am holding up o.k., so far.  I have been insanely busy, so my days disappear.  I was transferred to lake Mead so I could work near Las Vegas while Amanda is in rehab, but now am going to have to go back home.  I have to start remodeling our house to make it accessible.  That is going to be difficult (the not seeing Amanda everyday part).  It will also be difficult to go home and spend prolonged periods of time in our house without Caira.  The place won't be the same.  Just keep praying for me, please. 

Chloe is doing very well.  She doesn't remember the accident, and is a little confused by everything, but overall she has been wonderful.  She is staying with my parents while we are in Vegas, so we only get to see her a couple days a week.  She still asks where Caira is, which is a hard question to answer to a 2 year old. 

We are coping, and Amanda's progress is making it easier.  God is working miracles, and everyone's support is incredible.
