• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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 not too mellow
Because I am upset with fellow people in a project group
So much I want to build a chicken coup to hide in until the project's done which won't be very much fun



Hello, M. - I'm sorry to hear
That it's all becoming too much to bear
I hope it went a little better today.
Don't give in, M, come what may.
Our dear Lord Jesus is with you always
And walking in His light always pays. :)

School can be a bore
The tempation great
To go there no more
Or at least show up late
But listen to me
And heed what I say
If you don't want to wind up being a 35 year old high school drop out trying to complete a bachelor's degree on-line while working full time and supporting a family
In school you must stay.

(sunshinegirl's post reminded me of this song which I wrote some time ago, after seeing some of the youth in our local community just hanging round the shops and park and not attending school or employed)


Well, they call this the ghetto
Those who think they know
They see young ones roaming aimlessly
Ruled by rivalry
Eastside or Westside
Caught up in the tide
Taggers and sniffers
Dropouts and drifters

Yes, they call this the ghetto
Those who think they know
Employment's at an all-time low
So statistics show
What, then, of self esteem?
Who destroyed their dreams?
Rebels, but do they have a cause?
And will you make it yours?

Can you see what the Lord sees?
Precious children in His sight
But they don't know - and that's the tragedy -
That God's love is their right.
So who will hold their hands, who will guide them
To a knowledge of the Lord?
Will you call them friend, will you love them
And let them see the Lord?

His grace is bigger
than anything we can imagine
the bigger the sin the greater the grace
Praise God He sees the heart of the lost
that He knew this when He paid the cost.

That there is none righteous
no not one
Praise God that He sent
to all of us His Son

Early this morning the weatherman said,
"Don't you bother getting out of your bed.
It's not looking good, gonna pour with rain,
No chance of sunshine - I know it's a pain.:mad:
But there you have it - and I know you know
That our forecasts are never wrong, oh my, no! ;)
Wait ..... is that a ray of sunshine sneaking in here?
How can that be? How can it dare
To contradict everything that I've just said?
Oops! ;) Come on, sleepyhead, get out of that bed!!" :D
So here's a 'kia ora' to everyone
And now I think this rhyme is done.
