  • 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

About five weeks ago, I was taken to hospital following a really serious heart attack. I was sheduled to have open heart surgery, but I was deemed to be too high a risk to have this. As a result I have had a very long and complicated three hour session of angioplasty, with a second long and complicated session of angioplasty sheduled for approximately two to three months from now. Today is my first day home from hospital.

I had a fairly close brush with almost dying. I don't call myself "Trusting in Him" for nothing! Who else are you going to put your trust in when your life is in the balance? Psalm 39 tells me "Lord, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is and how frail I am".

I have already previously survived an earlier heart attack and I am already aware that it is only by the Lord's goodness and unmerited grace that I have survived a very much worse heart attack this time. Praise His name!

Praise God TIH! I actually did notice you missing, and once went to your profile page to leave a message and inquire of you, but thought maybe I shouldn't. My sense was something wasn't quite right, but also wanted to respect your space. Sometimes we just need time away.

Anyway, I am thankful you came today and shared your testimony. I will keep you in my prayers. Thanks for your testimony, may He keep you in the palm of His hand!
