• 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

I don't get it.

did you purposely make it vague?


I'm guessing this is one of those deep, emotional poems that only you could understand the metaphors in, and that applies only to you, and to other people only seems a jumble of confusing words that don't relate to each other =). Am I right? Can you explain it to me?

Yes my friend, I understand some of it, but poetry is like a vison, one does not always understand it when it comes to one...


Task:
trap reality ... [To search for the absolute truth, to know what is and what is illusion]

size up scorching sunshine... {To know God in Love/Truth that really gives all-too-human pain and sorrow sometimes,even destroys what beliefs one held as familair, dear]


whilst

some way off
the whistle sounds.... [the world and its ways of empty toiling for nothing of value to the being calls us to answer through the perceived needs of our bodies ,our neighbours, our families...]

the scrapbook in which
you
colour the pages
finally closes ....[finally we turn our back on 'self' ,where we make images (idols, models) with our brains which yield only empty relative truth]

leaving you
tearing to open
what is
closed to reason.... [we are left yeraning in desperate prayer to God because the love within makes us turn to Him when our self, through reason finally admits that it is blind]


Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Thank you, and you are very wellcome [to share thoughts and visions]

Did you ever try stopping your own thoughts and letting the pen in you hand just write?

Did you ever try just stopping you own thoughts a while to just listen to God?
