• 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.

What are some of the things that are like heaven that you've found that maybe the rest of us haven't?
Nothing special or different to anyone else. I've found you just have to have eyes to see.
Intimate times with friend and family.
Cool weather after a hot, dry spell.
Sometimes just driving.
Mornings can be so beautiful, around 5 am.
Watching a profound movie like "The Mission"
Sometimes after hard exercise.

Mat 11:16 "To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17 ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge and you did not mourn.’…

The most heavenly heaven we can taste is being HEALTHY and thats the most precious thing better than gold.

May Jesus bless you all HalleluYAH

This one is easy...at mass, of course!:liturgy:

I really do believe heaven touches our altars at every liturgy. Personally, mass continues to speak to my heart in such a way that I know it's divine.

Other than that, bird watching would come in a close second. It forces me to be aware and still in some very beautiful places. Not that much unlike going to mass. :)

I put your two statements together and thought, wouldn't it be cool that while someone was getting baptized that a white dove flew in and landed on their head!
