  • 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.

Not my list ... but a response to yours ... :)

1. Ride in a hot air balloon... Done it a couple times. Would do it again for a special occasion. It's fun.

2. Visit Australia... Would love to do that!

3. Own my dream house... Who wouldn't!

4. Photograph wild Mustangs - Interesting. Are you into photography a lot?

5. Find my one true Love... And if you find him, I pray that you keep him!

6. Open a "Retirement Home" for unwanted animals... Kind idea

7. Have every song ever sung by Michael W. Smith - That one seems attainable!

8. Go on an ocean cruise... MAybe, it depends on the rest of the picture for me.

9. See myself on T.V. ... Done that, not that big of a deal actually.

10.Feel the Spirit really "move me"... Amen!

What are yours?:) - My mind isn't up to thinking it all through right now. I might reply later.

Here's mine.

Things to do:
1. Visit Italy
2. Sell a painting or a photograph
3. Lead one person to Christ
4. Save someone's life
5. Become a father
6. Fly a plane
7. Make someone's dream come true
8. Visit my friends all over the world
9. Go hangliding off a cliff and land on a beach
10. Go scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef
11. Swing along tree-tops of the Amazon Forest
12. Raft the Grand Canyon
13. Stand in the middle of Time's Square, New York
14. Invent something useful
15. Compose a song and play it on the piano
16. See the fall colors in New England
17. Pay someone's bill without them knowing it
18. Go out on one date with a complete stranger




In addition, I would like to balance my "To-Do-List" with a "Have-Done-List" because I think it's important not to overlook past accomplishments.

Things I've done:
1. Walked on the Great Wall of China
2. Went on very first mission trip to Moscow, Russia
3. Help out with health clinics in the hilltops of rural Guatemala
4. Experienced the Northern Lights passing above my head in Alaska
5. Went on a memorable family trip in Europe
6. Viewed Paris atop the Eiffel Tower
7. Drove a car in the Autobahn
8. Own my dream car
9. Take up photography
10. Get licensed and own a motorcycle
11. Swam with tropical fish in the clear waters of Hawaii
12. Had my artwork displayed at the Richard Nixon Library
13. Helped deliver babies


My life isn't perfect but very blessed. Thank you Lord for giving me the opportunity to experience life in ways better than I have imagined. You've truly given me the desires of my heart--even surprising me with the ones I didn't know I wanted.

Hope everyone's aspirations come to fruition--no matter how ridiculous or far-fetched they may sound. :)
No need to wait until you find a partner to experience life's adventures. Live it now and become your own complete person.

Dreams turn into the stories you tell only by making them come true...
