  • 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.

It is raining today. Rain soothes me. I was thinking a lot today about Jesus. I was thinking about how much I need him. I am a very broken person. I see I may not be able to do the things I wanted to do in life because the ritual abuse did leave me with mental injuries. I could see today that my kidnapper did not care about me at all. She stalked me for two years and then abused me for many months. I am a different person than I was. Jesus let me know that in addition to ritual abuse, what I experienced was torture. Jesus let me see it was okay that I am not the same person because of what I endured. I am praying to Jesus for him to comfort me and heal me.

I also love the rain and find is refreshing. It is a symbol of growth and renewal, I think. It brings much substance and life to the Earth and spreads the cycle of continued growth and rebirth. It is soothing and cooling and washes away. I like this analogy you have started with rain and healing, which can apply to personal growth as well. God bless you, sister.

My favorite time of the year is when it rains. I sit quietly listening to the rain and never grow tired. Lord, thank you for the rain and all of your many blessings.
