• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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.

I am reminded, hearing of a neighbor's passing, of the day my Mother went home to be with the Lord. It had been a long few weeks of her struggle with a non-responsive pneumonia. We had the priviledge of being with her day an night singing to her and reading scripture to her even tho she was not always concious. She left us at 4:30 in the afternoon. The chaplin stood by us as she slipped away.. he said 'Ahh, she made it home before suppertime.' That was such a sweet incouragaing statement. A little while later I walked outside to get some fresh air and lo and behold the most magnificent sunset I had ever seen was splashed across the central Texas sky. The nursing home was situated on a hill which provided the perfect panorama of that amazing sky. The thought came to me that Mother was enjoying the Son on the other side of that glorious sunset.

2 years ago this week.... she is still enjoying the Son's presence.

I have received several lovely notes from CF folks. Thank you so much for your loving and encouraging words.

One wonderful thing that occured on the night of Mother's Funeral service... my 16 year old grand son called to tell me that he had become a Christian. He had given his life to Christ and vowed to devote his life to Him. What a joyful way to end that day.

God is so good.....
