  • 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

For the first time in a long time, I can honestly say that I'm living life and loving it!!! I was watching Pastor Joel Osteen last night and he hit on a lot of key factors for me. Basically, he was saying that if we want to be used by God, if we want to be happy, if we want to be everything we're called to be, then we have to let go of our negative past. Sometimes we can't understand it, but if we keep on focusing on the negative then there's no way we can be blessed with any positive. That just woke me up and last night in prayer I said "I don't know why things happened to me the way they did, but I have to let every bad situation go". The funniest thing is I've been worrying that my college experience has been passing me by, but today on my way to German class, I had a revelation, so to speak. Instead of seeing everything that happened these past two years as something negative, I began seeing them as a period that God used to shape me into maturity. So now this university has a more sintimental meaning to me than it ever has. It was when I was here that I made so many leaps of faith, that I grew so much. I'll always grow, but the monumental steps were taken at this university. It's great. :) So now I've let go of my past and am allowing myself to be happy. Life's great! :)
