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

:heart: mornings....there's something about mornings....

a new day and God re-newing His grace, and His tender mercies on us like a gentle rain, and like this song expresses.

Jesus bring the rain.

Let it rain.

Beautiful!

my prayer as of late is that i catch glimpses of our precious God's heart for us and just how delightful He is...

He speaks to us in so many ways and reveals how utterly delightful He is, even in the rain...

Lol, although this may start off running beyond “simple”, it is actually what it has end up being, the simple dynamics of color in my line of work.

There is power in color, that we know has helped shape our world in ways too numerous to mention. God only knows the possibilities color holds. Even after the massive accumulation of literature devoted to it. I have a collection of some of these, but, if I may say most all fall short, mere commentaries, unable to harness in my estimation the full range of eye-agreeing moods some professional artist light on occasionally.

The Lord’s world of hue is fascinating. A slight miss in a paint mixture can topple the best of compositions. Conversely, a show prize-winner can have the worst composition of all other contestants and still dazzle the eye because of, color

When these volumes of commentary become public, they constitute the seasonal effect of our world, or the life span of an individual, “mature”, right into those elusive combinations of “allurement”.

As I said glory to God, the bulk of these remain commentary. Why do I say that? Well, like many out there who are daily on the design grindstone of competing proposals to offer to their customers a shot at public appeal, are well aware of the importance of theory in color.

From the $100-mill per-yr architect or artist, to the small-shop advertiser (both of which I have worked), these are the folks who are more apt to disregard refined philosophies of color. Rather than philosophy, they are subject to the fiery realities of the spirit of color, or how the image is “read”.

But what if we considered what the Creator made available to man may still be uncovered? In industry, where the line of my work still doesn’t have computer models equipped for the request I work in, after you cut through all the professional egos and envies, I can delve this that the actual power of allurement is a fairly narrow door to manipulate.

If you are handed a range of hues from one color, the allure quite often isn’t adequate among them. If you are handed a dozen colors with several associated hues, you might have a few, depending on the project’s nature. I know this upon my own observations from the response of floor associates for the last 10-yrs.

We work on both a national, sometimes international level, the floor and myself are now pretty comfortable with what once was major concerns, enjoyable if you will without going into specifics.

God bless.

I love a quiet drive in the middle of the night when no other cars are out, and then subsequently go to sleep when I get home. That's how my mom would get me to sleep as a baby.
