• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

The unsure war

Air as still as frozen night
Vapor of doubt rises and fills the lonely warrior’s helm
Beast of apathy lurks behind
He drops a knee and sword falls
Where is the battle captain shouting?
Where is the standard raised?
Long black fingers of fingers of distrust tear at the tired heart
Purpose is broken under the crushing blow of doubt
Eyes rise to the sky but no light shines within
Deep wells of disillusion

Truth why have you forsaken me?
Surety why did you leave me?

The broken field no longer clear
Direction no longer sure

Justice where have you gone?
Where is the Templar's verdict?
Judgment where is your sting?
Heaven where is your cry?


The winds don’t come
All is night in the broken valley
Cry aloud for heavens bearing but there is no answer
The book is broken and the seal is lost
No more light rises from the pages
Verse and creed vanish like smoke into the air

Long black fingers of doubt tear at the tired heart
Justice where have you gone?
Truth why have you forsaken me?
Heaven why don’t you help?
Angel where is your guard?
The warrior cannot withstand the tendrils of the black beast of doubt
Falling in broken armor
Choking on distrust the war is over
