  • 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... (7)

This 101 things is a great idea! I'm going to try it!!

I almost forgot...!

I found this internet meme yesterday and decided to go for it.

http://www.triplux.com/dayzero/default.asp?view=gettingstarted

basically, you set 101 goals for yourself and then complete them in 1001 days. That's 2.75 years.

So I figured...what the hay. Why not?

So I'm writing my list. I'm at number 71.

Any suggestions? I already have 'read the Bible in a year' and 'do daily devotions' and 'memorize the catechism'.

So? any suggestions?

Wow, a new kitchen. Glad you guys kept busy while I was gone.

Thanks for all the prayers for my son. He is doing much better now, but has to have some tests this coming wednesday. What my son has is Epiplioc Appendigitis. The doctor at the ER we were at said he's only seen about 5 cases in his entire career, and he's in his 50's. Anyway, it was a bit scarey, and he was in a lot of pain, but the meds have helped and he's doing so much better.
Thanks again, my friends. I really appreciate your prayers. And thanks be to God for His mercy on our son.

Good morning, o cheerful one. I would need a coffee infusion to be as happy as you are in the morning, Kae!


Can we do that with tea too? :yum:


I'm so going to have to forward this to my Mom. I am SO NOT a morning person.

However, this morning I did something I haven't done in quite sometime. (in the morning that is)

I got on my knees and started the day out talkin' with God.

Not that I don't talk to God throughout the day...He and I are constant companions...but...ON MY KNEES! FIRST THING IN THE MORNING!!

Makes all the difference in the world.

Kae


Frequent prayer is good for us. It shows that we yearn to be with our Father. I had to give up praying on my knees a few years ago, too painful. It about broke my heart but now I feel just as good and know that He still hears my humble prayers.

I can't follow up on three measly New Year's resolutions. I'd just fail every more miserably on 101 resolutions over a three-year period.


Same here Synger. I gave up on resolutions years ago and have not regretted it.

My last New Year's resoluton was ten years ago.I resolved to make no further New Year resolutions. So far so good.


^_^ Makes it easier doesn't it? I try to do what I can at the time and not worry about tommorow, afterall, maybe I won't be here tommorow? :holy:



Great news Seajoy. I pray he keeps progressing.

Hooray for the meds working, Seajoy! Still praying for complete healing!

Ed, my knees are giving out as well but I'm determined to be on 'em as long as possible! It's so comforting to know that God hears you no matter what isn't it?

As Latebloomer said in the Alehouse, we met on Friday. You would think that since we live about 11 miles from each other that would have happened sooner!

I was waiting to talk with the widow and give her a card that a friend had wanted me to give to her and I am approached and asked, "do I know you?'

Since this was at a funeral and there are usually many family members who are not from here, I gave my usual answer that I am the Pastor's wife.

Latebloomer then knew it is I from CF and introduced herself as LB. We had a nice chat.

Thanks for the compliments regarding the service. I shall pass them on to my hubby.

I'm so giddy I can hardly stand myself!!

Due to all sorts of concerns and medical reasons and other things, Mike and I made a big decision this weekend.

We moved the wedding date up.

To June 28th.

Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness.

I've got the nervous giggles. I can't sleep I'm so excited and I think I'm gonna plotz. *G* :swoon::swoon:

And who knows, with the wedding in June, I MIGHT be able to convince Himself that our "honeymoon" could be in St Louis somewhere 'round August??? *G*

Ladies (and gents) any advice??

I guess just talk to him and see what he says about the honeymoon being in St. Louis

LOL Yeah, I'll do that.

I mean, any advice about the wedding?? It's a really really short time to be doing all the planning in, but we're not having a huge one. Just close family and close family friends (who really should be considered "family")
