  • 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

Hmmm.. I wouldn't exactly say I "fell" in love. :) But I definately chose to love Dan. I loved him first when I was 17. I saw he had the qualities that I was looking for in a husband. He treated me and my family with great respect, and he has a heart for God's will. We were married after I turned 18. We love eachother more every day.

1 Corinthians 13 said:
Love
1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

I first realized that I loved my husband about 3 weeks after we met. We had met at a church camp last summer and were living in different states. I realized I loved him because of the fact that he took the initiative to continue to talk to me after camp. Usually people wouldn't contact me after camp. The more we talked the more I began to realize that I was starting to love him. It wasn't a sudden thing for me. It was gradual. I didn't even tell him I loved him until a month after he asked me to be his girlfriend. I've been hurt in the past several time by people I have cared deeply about. So when I tell someone I love them, I honestly mean it. We got married back in January, and before we went to get married, he asked me if I was dure this was what I wanted. I told him I had never been more sure of anything before in my entire life. That was the honest truth. (we just went to the courthouse. no big elaborate wedding or anything....) Since we got married I have not doubted that he is the right man for me. I sincerely love him with my whole heart.
