• 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.

Time for another book thread!

The Penguin Who Knew Too Much. I'm going to have to look for that one next trip to the library. Joy, Joy, I found THREE Mrs. Murphy mysteries I haven't read yet. They were out last time I looked for them. Harry and Fair FINALLY got remarried, in spite of Pewter and Mrs. Murphy nearly tearing the church apart during the ceremony. My mom has read several of the "The Cat Who..." books by Lillian Braun and they are also on my list. So many books, so little time...

I've read most of the Mrs Murphy books. I really like 'em but...I couldn't get into the last one at ALL. I think it's 'cause it wasn't set in Crozet. There's a new one due out...it's on my hold list at the library.

I have spent the better part of the evening reading sections of:

The Portable Seminary

David Horton - General Editor


Not too bad of a volume. If one wants a good generalized summary of Christian doctrine and church history, this would be a good book to have. It certainly doesn't cover everything that a proper college level education would, but for an overview, it is worth having.
