  • 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

Somewhere

Somewhere tightly locked away in the recesses
of my mind, far beyond shadows and forgotten
webs of time, linger mem'ries of yesteryear,
so rich, so pure, so kind, where innocence,
faith, and joy once did intertwine.

I recall, long ago, young lad and lass
watching clouds roll by as we lay upon the
grass. Eternal recollection of days without
end. Sweet fragrance of flowering love which
bent to nere storm or wind.

But with passing days, come browning leaves
of fall. Clouds growing darker. Dusk's
quickening call. Nature's tapestry of life
slowly fading away. Replacing the colors of
green and blue with templets tinted gray.

To recapture first solstice when love was
but new. Sensing smell of roses. Feeling
morning dew. Impossible to do now, but
memories linger on, far beyond the shadows
and forgotten webs of time.
