• 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.

  • 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.

Terrors in our sleep

Anymore I pray for protection before I go to sleep. Who knows what goes on with the soul when we are unconcsicous?

Before the ending of the day
Creator of the world, we pray
That with thy gracious favor thou
Wouldst be our Guard and Keeper now.

From fears and terrors of the night
Defend us, Lord, by thy great might;
And when we close our eyes in sleep
Let hearts, with Christ, their vigil keep.

O Father, this we ask be done
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son
Who, with the Paraclete and thee
Now lives and reigns eternally. Amen.
That's beautiful ❤️

Aren't you shocked at what i told you??

Did a check just now on a Jewish calender calculator,

You were born Lyar 4 5702

I was born Nissan 17 5702

To be 100%, time of birth must be known, morning, afternoon, evening.

Night terrors? Not exactly sure what they are. Sometimes when I'm asleep I get the sensation of slipping on ice and waking up in a panic.

I used to have bad nightmares.. but now even my nightmares bore me, lol.

Not really, but will say that after coming into this world and starting to get a handle on things

I realized just how capable man is to do just about anything,

even the most unspeakable atrocoties.

I was born 42 so from day 1 there was darkness,

My greatest fear was that I would grow up and partake in such ways.

So much so that my mind would play tricks on me,

But I have gotten past that, though I have learnt to never say never.

The high holidays are coming up, a time for introspection and stocktaking,

best of all a time when "The King is in the field"
seek Him while He is to be found.


Phew, this has been a hard days night..
Posh?lol. I'll have to look that up as what i know of it, it doesn't fit here. I tried to start a pm but it doesn't see me as a member mostly. It is 1 pm here. What time is it for you, is it Friday. I'm assuming it is since you corrected me on the day.
I think for your earlier ramblings the info is 7pm on 42

Tuesday, my best guess. I haven't had to remember it for years. It rained and rained after almost a year. 117 down to 85 degrees overnight. I might be able to cook and clean with this cool down but I'll never catch up.

I'm not sure i am asleep when the terrors come in. How about you. Would you like to talk about them?
I had nightmares, and woke up screaming for years. It was so embarrassing on holidays etc.
my hubby said it was every time I saw my family, and i believed him.
When I moved into the spare room, to sleep alone, the screaming nightmares stopped. Just like that.

We shared a bed one night a few months ago, and guess what?, I woke up screaming that night only. Was it really my family?

Oh dear, for real? Surroundings? Are you and your husband in a good place?

Posh is a portmanteau that started out as an acronym
Port Out Starboard Home; when traveling by ocean liner from England to the Mediterranean, so that the passengers would always get the morning sun.
Only the well-to-do could get these accommodations, so “posh” was a status symbol.

Night terrors can be a sign of unresolved trauma that may be a sign of untreated abuse issues that often began before the sleeper had “language” to allow them to tell themselves what had “happened”.
Since all the sufferers had was their reactive-emotions, and unresolved as they are, they’ll “relive” these experiences with the same intensity unless/until they’ve dealt with them in a therapeutic setting.

Just FYI

Most recently i wake up to a big spider on the bed or ants and I'm scrambling to get them off the bed, brushing them off and then i wake up not sure if there really was anything there or not.

Thanks pommer, i know posh as a status symbol that's why it didn't fit but the acronym does. :)

Just saw a TikTok that explained that this is balderdash; looked it up and yes, this doesn’t appear to be true.
Sorry.

That's beautiful ❤️
or
Te lucis ante terminum,
Rerum Creator poscimus,
Ut solita clementia
Sis præsul ad custodiam.

Procul recedant somnia,
Et noctium phantasmata;
Hostemque nostrum comprime,
Ne polluantur corpora.

Præsta, Pater omnipotens,
Per Iesum Christum Dominum,
Qui tecum in perpetuum
Regnat cum Sancto Spiritu. Amen.

If you want the centuries old verion.
