  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

When cool there is peace, an intense wonder
The crisp echo of silence
Crystallized through the air, through one’s very being

When tepid there is joy, a reassurance in the normal
Gentle sunlight on a lifted face
Satisfaction from completion of the day’s duties

When hot there is cheer, a cozy harmony of familiar chatter
Rhythmic crackling from the fireplace
Reaching deep inside, dancing with the soul

I wrote this, this morning sitting out in the cool air on our patio with a warm cup of coffee. I recognized my good mood and realized that I don't often write poetry when I am in a good mood. So often writing ends up being a kind of therapy when dealing with difficult emotions. But it was really a pleasure to write something as the result of a "good" mood.

Hope you like, let me know what you think; constructive criticism is always appreciated!
