• 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.

  • 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.

how very sad
how sad indeed
that lives are taken
because of greed

how heavy the sadness
how heavy the heart
when mercy is bludgeoned
with no grace to impart

O woe are we
when blood is shed
and we did nothing
to stop the dread.

Our sister's heart is broken
Over words left unspoken;
Actions to justice address
Left as vain nothingness;
When cries in the night were heard
In answer was given not a word.

Through all the hard times God Word is faithful
To Him we are eternally grateful
He promises to bring us through
Our ears in tune will hear His woo
We are the vessels that He chooses
To use in healing the worlds bruises
He's faithful to finish what He starts
With His love He fills our heart
Choosing us to work as He would
Reaching out to others and bringing good.

Lord, Your light shines within me
How can we thank You enough
The Life You give is our plea
Without You life is too rough

Your pain to us is unbearable
Your suffering was to great
Grateful for each crucial parable
Praying the times not too late

For others to hear the Good News
Of Your life-giving force, Amen
For the world to give up its views
Your salvation will rest with them then

for some there is the notion
of going through some motion

of walking the straight and narrow
the sword never reaching the marrow

it was not just a good deed
when Jesus said we're to pay heed

they that have ears to hear
to Jesus, we are to draw near

ever looking and praying
for it's not here, we'll be staying

although we may soon be going
of this day, no one is knowing

prepare you heart, let the Lord find a home there
lift up your eyes, on Him cast your care

He's waiting you know, at the door is His knock
Even if nowhere around you is a clock

time is disappearing, faster than we know
will there be time, to tell others, I pray so...

Abba there is one Who needs You
in dire straits she is
she is in a limbo
cast aside
ostracized
sub-humanized
surrounded by lies
Can You hear her heart?
Can You hear mine?
For my words fail me now.
do YOu hear her cry?
Do You hear mine?
By Your merceous grace
lift her up in YOur embrace,
so sublime.
I leave it all with YOu?
What else can I do?
In His name, amen.

oh Father do you hear her
it seems so far away
around the world you know where
each one of us is today
far away and far apart
you hear our prayer you hear our heart
please listen Lord i'm asking now
some where someplace some time some how
touch my sister let her feel
your very presence, your hand to heal

:prayer:

That's OK MHeffernen,
We like your poem just fine
The creative words you've gladly given
Are meant from the Lord Divine;
And now let's remember in all we say
Whether rich or poor, on the morrow or today
To always give words to encourage each other
Whether to young or old, or to sister or brother.

a word for my friend
we'll one day see the end
and know all our trouble
we would do again double
to see our Master, Saviour and our Lord
we would give more than we could afford
we would bear the weight of the lost soul
to see them reach the heavenly goal
we would face the pain and grief
that stabs our hearts like the thief
and know all along, with courage and song
that we could do it again,
using the strength of our Lord in the pain......

Silent Heartcry

Amidst the swirling maze
the dark dank haze
that hangs about thy face
I pray thee through
for He loves you
and will surely
bring thee to a safer place

it grieves my soul
to know that none
can hear your call
that as you lay there
dwindling away
there are those
who won't even pray.

A Fiction Poem

Once upon a time
There was a stupid mime who could talk
Who said,"I'm going to spend Easter this year in a box taking a walk"
So then the mime got packing to sleep in this box
But as he did so he was being stalked by the Easter Bunny
Who thought it was rather funny to see a mime talk
So the funny Easter bunny laughed at him and made him walk out of his box
Into the City where it was very pretty filled with beautiful color
The mime acted stupid and thought he could take his box out onto a cloud
So he fell off a cloud
His fall was also not very loud

THE END
