• 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.

Think I'll sit down here for a bit... (4)

I don't think Quilt Angel and I have ever met, but I have relatives in her congregation (Dad's cousins) and since she and my mother are both quilters, they may have met.
We should change that.

I'll try and keep my beagle from howling too much. ^_^

Where's the fun in that???^_^ Half the fun of Beagles is the 'singing'. We used to have a bi... um... female who thought she was quite the virtuoso.

I found a new tea at Big Lots day before yesterday. It's called Premium Peony White Tea. Good stuff. The only drawback is that it's like Oolong. One must pull the leaves out as soon as it's brewed. Otherwise it has a tendency to become bitter. Kinda like old girlfriends, lonely parents... never mind. Anyway, good stuff.

Anyone for a cuppa? I'll be mother!

Oh, by the way, it has a quote from Proverbs on the box, "Sometimes you can become rich by being generous, or poor by being greedy." Prov. 11:24

OK, so now for a joke I made up, lesseee if it flies on the "New CF" rules...

This RC and Lutheran are scheduled for a formal debate on the merits, or lack of, the medieval RCC

So the RC guy goes first and gives a long spiel but running out of time asks the Lutheran to allow him a little longer, which the Lutheran gracioulsy does. The RC guy runs all over the time limit and leaves only a few minutes for the Lutheran to respond. Apologizing for this the RC guy turns the floor over to the Lutheran, who has been patiently sipping from a glass of water.

So the Lutheran gets up and slowly walks over to the RC podium with the water pitcher in hand. He kindly says "My dear brother.." and hurls the cold water at the RC. Before the RC guy can say a word, the lutheran hands the RC a dollar bill and adds: "...will you indulge me?" and walks off stage.

Have I causht something of the essence of Luther here?
