• 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.

Thankful for understanding

I praise God for giving me a better understanding of myself. I have always had a challenging time with balancing work and relaxation. This week I have come to realize that I sometimes dread work because I push myself too hard there. Now I will try to take breaks more at work, so it's more enjoyable. I'll compensate by working a little longer. This has really been a problem for me, so praise God for new understanding!

This is good. I find that many people measure their committment to work by the amount of hours they spend at the desk. This is primitive.

Work smarter, not harder! God wants you to be able to spend time with family and friends, life is too short to spend every waking moment at work. Go with the flow and realise that God has all things under control. Do not be afraid to enter His rest.

Your employer is not a charity that you need to donate your time to.

Congratulations:thumbsup:! (and make sure you put those reclaimed hours to a positive use!!)
