• 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

Sorry I've been absent.

Hey all! I know I've been pretty non-existant lately, but there's been a good reason. Two, actually. First, the sad news:

My mother passed away recently (July 21).

The good news:

I got married August 12!

It's been a hectic time for me as you all can imagine. Hopefully I'll be able to get back more frequently now though.

Angelus,

I am sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I lost my father 17+ years ago. Congrats on your marriage though. God's blessings to both of you.

I am sorry. I am sure she will be missed. You and she will be in my prayers.

I'm sure that there were mixed emotions at the wedding. God be with you.

May you be assured of the hope of life eternal by the death and resurrection of our Lord.

Thanks for your comments everyone. Surprisingly to me, there were no mixed emotions at the wedding. I felt, in a very real way, that my mother was there. We had her picture there where she would have been sitting, so I could see her in some sense, but I felt her there too, and that allowed for just utter enjoyment and happiness.

That's beautiful.
I am sure that she was there, joyful, and praying for your and your wife.

I'm very sorry about your mother AS. I'm sure that must have been a difficult time for you. My grandmother died a week before my cousin's wedding two years ago I believe. My cousin wanted to pospone the wedding even. But things turned out good. And I'm glad things worked out for you as well. :)

Congraduations on your marraige! :)

Wonderful. Congrats on your wedding and I'm sorry to hear about your loss...
