  • 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.

today i have to go shopping for stuff for the week and i hate the fact that i will have to be in a store full of men buying last minute gifts. It will remind me of the many times i did that for my wife (who died 3 years ago) I miss her terrably today!! yesterday i was wondering if anyone will hug me this christmas - i doubt it. If i asked for it someone might but i don't really want to ask.

My Lori is dead
My Carol is in prison
My daughter would be glad to hug me if she knew i needed one but i generally don't like to hug so she honors that and doesn't hug me.

but
My JESUS came and became one of us!! Wow!! What awesome love HE showed us!!

i know my sadness will help me be a better minister. Anyone else feeling sad?

(((huggggg)))


My mother died at this time of year...it has taken 15 years for some of the saddness to leave. Now I am rejoicing at seeing her again in heaven.
Think your pain is still too new and it is different to lose a wife.
Tender hugs for you Lonnie...:hug: :hug: :hug:

I second that, I'm sure your daughter would love to give you a hug if you just ask, or better yet give her one. I would have loved for my dad to hug me, but now he and my mom are both gone. Hug while you have the chance, it will help you both.

Lord, I ask that you would give lonnienord the peace to just hug his daughter, be with him Lord at this time that is so hard for him, let him know Your love and comfort and may he have a blessed Christmas, in Jesus name, Amen.

Dear Lonnie
I am missing my dad this Christmas, but I know he is celebrating with Yeshuah and waiting for me someday to come and join him. I bet your wife is nearby as well.

May the Lord bless you today. Lonnie, you are a gift to many of us, and for that I ask God to shower you with blessings and His love and peace.

Yeshuah, my Beloved Lord, look upon your dear son Lonnie. See his tender heart that yet feels so much pain, and take pity upon him. In this season of Your birth, allow him to taste of Your love and peace. He longs to embrace those whom he loves and Lord I ask that You let him embrace them by the power of Your Spirit that is not limited by distance, this life or by the bars of prison. Give him, My Beloved Lord, a special touch of Your love and wash his heart in the waters of Your annointing Love. Lastly, my Lord, plese let him know what a beautiful gift he has been to us, and other he touches. Let him know how he pleases You, and how his heart is the most precious gift. Thank You my Beloved One, thank You for hearing this humble servant's prayer which is prayed in Your name
Amen.

Lonnie here is a BIG Hug for You :hug:

I'm Sorry to hear about your Wife, and I pray that you find Peace and Joy throughout this time of year. Joy is an attitude. It is quite possible to be sorrowful, and find joy in your heart at the same time. I will pray for you brother, and please, ask your Daughter for a hug. You will not regret it. You know, you've just made me think of something. It does mean alot just for a "hug". :hug: :hug: :hug:


Many Blessing,

:groupray: Amanda
