  • 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.

an open letter to my sons
(I will give this to them on Thanksgiving and read it with them -- if you have any suggestions on improving the wording please share them with me!!)
Dear Matthew and Andrew,
Today is thanksgiving
And I’m giving thanks for many many things
One of the things I am most thankful for is you.
I am so glad you are my sons!!
You are so important to me!!
You are such a blessing.!!
I am very proud of you!!
I am very happy that you love each other, me and many people

The other big thing I am thankful for is that JESUS died for us.
That makes it possible for us to be reunited with your mom in heaven.
We cannot, should not and will not make that day come any sooner than GOD wants
But when that day comes we will not fear it cause we will be ready, o so ready, to go home.
Your mom is watching you and I am sure she is also very very proud of you!!

(News note. Andrew got invited to join the first and second grade chess club!!)
