  • 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.

Story/writing idea

Hey! I'm not sure if this has been done before, but I'd like to try it anyway!

Okay, here's what we do, I'll start with a paragraph of a story, then the next person writes another paragraph, and so on and so forth. Okay here are the rules:

1-no foul language
2-no sexual content (though there can be romance)
3-you may only place one paragraph/conversation per day
4-be creative
5-have fun!

Lizzy sighed as she stuck her feet over the edge of the pool and into the water. The water felt really good against her heated flesh. She moved her sunglasses up into her shoulder length blond hair and smiled at her five year old son who was taking swimming lessons at the community pool. Lizzy was twenty-four years old and had her son out of wedlock, before she had become a Christian. She had dated a few men since the birth of her son, but nothing had come from the experiences. She was completely prepared to raise her son on her own, with the help of God and the excellent members of her church

But in her heart of hearts, she hoped she wouldn't have to. She loved the single life, and loved raising her son in the security and morality of the Christian life, and she didn't want anything to disrupt that. Some of her friends had gotten married, only to later find out they had married immature men who didn't know how to be good husbands or fathers. Divorce made their lives empty and painful, especially for the children, and Lizzy feared that happy marriages might be a thing of the past.

Yet, perhaps somewhere, God might have the ideal guy in store for her, someone who will honor His Word to love the wife like she is a part of his body. Lizzy is open to the thought of meeting such a guy, but she is also reluctant to lose her marriage in anyway.
