  • 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.

Hey all,

Well, I just finished this poem...and I think I am happy with it, but wasn't sure if it worked properly with flow and everything, and so I wanted your opinion on it!!
Thanks

God Bless :angel:

Refinement like Gold

Sometimes I find it so hard to explain,
the things that I feel so deeply within.
Will words be enough, to explain it all...
or does so much more need to be expressed?

Coz sure, life is not always easy and fun,
coz there are the times when trials refine.
During these times though we must make a choice,
will we crumble, or find a new strength?

Though it sounded a whole lot easier,
crumbling is much harder than I thought.
The embrace of God's Mighty arms around me,
showed me that I could never let go.

As much as I thought I could handle it alone,
God taught me that there is a better way.
And sure, I am being refined even today,
as new and different trials I face become clear...
but my God will never leave me or forsake me,
this is a promise He gave.

So onward I walk, no matter how hard it may seem,
and I continue to trek in the paths He has shown.
I pray for strength and guidance each day,
hoping for a break sometime along the way.
But as much as I hope for this break,
I know in my heart, that this refinement is good...
as like gold, He will see His reflection in me.
