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.

Echo echo echo...anybody anybody anybody listening listening listening?
They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over again an expecting different results...I say insanity is that, but also can be doing the same thing over and over again, expecting to get something that you want, knowing you're not going to get it, and still persisting...it gets old after a while doesn't it???

^^Yes it does, and if you do it long enough, you will find it has consumed your life.
The choices we make form our reality. God loves us and helps us out of our messes though. Thank you Lord.

Yep, it does get old after a while, and frustrating when it impacts on others.

It does end up consuming your life, and it does come down to choices.
Thankfully, if we rely on God, He equips us with what we need to make better choices, which in time, changes how we think, act and live.

Ever notice how it's the drama makers, the ones who claim they hate drama, the ones who claim they're not accepted or whatever, who create their own problems most of the time? Just thinkin'...I love ALL my friends dearly...but some of them...make me shake my head...they wonder why "all this bad stuff" happens to them, why their life is SO hard...yet when I look at their lives, I think well, sure, that's tough, but then I look at it and realize that a lot of people crucify themselves and make it 10x harder than it actually IS...just an observation of an acquaintance of mine...lol...I wish I could help her to be more positive about everything but I guess with a bunch of kids and stuff it's hard, maybe...I don't know...lol

You know, I have a couple of friends that I love, but through the years I have realized they just wear me out. I don't believe they necessarily mean to, but the drama and incessant talking are tiresome. I have come to appreciate them in small doses...

Yeah, the one friend I'm talking about, I do love her to death, and at least she's in my area, but good gracious, I spent half the day with her, and it was just...I don't know...she tries to be positive, but it wore me out...and she's always trying to use me to print coupons or help her with some techy stuff and I don't mind that at all most of the time...but...it all drains me a bit...I guess. And it takes a lot to drain me. She does try real hard, I have to hand it to her...but I wish she wasn't quite so negative about everything...I dunno...As I go along I'm realizing WHO my real friends really are, who drains me, who doesn't...and hard as it is I'm learning how to set good boundaries on myself and on them, so that I'm surrounded by people who are a good influence on me, people who truly are my friends. I'm realizing that I don't have to give ALL of my energy into chasing people down, or trying to make things work for them, or whatever, and that I can still love them, without wasting energy on them. It's hard though because I have a lot of time, and I like to give of that time...but at the same time, I'd rather be giving my time and energy to people who appreciate it, than giving it to those who will just try to take more of it or who won't reciprocate it or whatever.
Hope that doesn't sound too mean...lol...

^ That must have been a weak moment
Random thought...I wonder how many different kinds of emotions I can feel in one day?
I had a good day emotionally, feeling stable, feeling good...but then I decided to PM my friend/former boss to just talk to her, cause it's been almost a week since we got to MO...and I clicked on her name, then went to type, and it was SO weird...just busted out in gut wrenching sobs...so strange...guess I must really miss her...and I didn't message her...I couldn't make myself. Maybe I'll call her tomorrow...maybe that'd help...
And I'm extremely tired, and trying to figure out what my new normal is, and it's just soooo a weird time of my life...but I'm kind of enjoying it!

Oh man Susie, I'm sorry that you hate your new glasses...that's never any fun!
Just had to post this...one of my friends posted this tonight on Facebook, and this was after a day of my hubby and me discussing something rather big that may happen in our life but we weren't sure how...like...I have huge God bumps...but I'm also thinking it's so good, I needed to share it!
