• 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

This is the forum where I started and it is where I would like to go out. Will tomorrow come? Yes it will, but none of us have a guarantee of being here. It is my hope and desired and prayer to be here, and I have no intention of leaving.

But as happened to a cousin once that I posted about, it could happen to any of us. She and her husband were having a disagreement. More accurately SHE was, He was very layed back and meek and humble. She was screaming at him as he calmly drove off to work that morming. A healthy young man in his 20's. He was killed that day and never came home.

It is always the same in these cases. There was never a chance to say goodbye. Well I an not saying that either but there have been amy surprises in my life lately and so I wish to say to the friends I have here, I love you all, and I pray for you and if we are suddenly seperated know that I have not forgotten you nor will I. Be blessed and be filled with Joy and know His Peace. NEVER EVER stop serving Jesus, no matter what anyone says or does. Keep your hearts filled with His love and compassion, for all people!

And remember the first thing we learn in SAND BOX is the Golden Rule. Lets be sure to treat others EXACTLY like we want to be treated. NOT the way they treat us.

Gerry,
Words fail me now. The short time I've been here I have looked forward to your posts. I would surely miss them if they cease. But, if, for whatever God's will be, they do cease, I will have them to remember a man whose heart and soul are JESUS.
Much love and looking forward to seeing you later
WW

Gerry!  What a beautiful sentiment. When you decided to stay it made CF a nicer place....I missed you before you even left!  :)

You've been the very essence of that rule Gerry.  More than once I've seen you do just that.....and with unique style!  :clap:

I agree that none of us can predict the future and that we never know when our words may be the very last ones to those we love. Each and every day is a true gift. 

With that thought I want to tell you my friend that I love you.   :hug:

Many times you've been the guiding influence that lifted my spirits and demanded that I pay attention to the here and now.  You will always be special and are in my prayers.  :pray:

I know I don't only speak for myself but also for others when I say that many of us here Love you Gerry. You have served as an inspiration to many of us, You have offered us reasurance, and helped us grow in the spirit of Christ.

May the Lord bless you abundantly. And I pray that the Lord will allow you to continue sharing the wonderful things he has to offer with us.

I must say, I did not expect this out pouring of love, so when I came on this morning, I was overwhelmed. I am greatly honored and deeply touched both by this and the flood of PM's I had from many others.

I will not try to answer each reply individually, but I would like to say thanks to ALL of you. When we get to Heacen, I will surely be looking for each of you and we shall feast and dance together on those Golden Streets!

you're a great friend and brother Gerry.

Your words always bring encouragement and sharp reminders, God's working through you!
you're sooo right, let us not waste time on unspoken words, for tomorrow's always a mystery.

I had not intended to reply individually to these unexpected replies. But I am very touched.

I think that we, as Christians, tend to forget how very much words like yours mean. These words from anyone mean a lot, but coming for a Staff member adds special meaing too.

And you have been one to always be there with encouragement, and prayers. I am always reminded when I see your avatar how precious these moments we share with our Family really are. Thanks for always being there for me.

And such is my prayer for you also. Thanks for always being here for me and supporting me with your Christian love and prayers. They are so much more important than we often realize. I know that without the love and prayers of my Family, I cannot be all Jesus wants me to be.

Thanks Jeff! These words from you take on a very Special meaning because they indicate that you are not seeing me at all but that you are seeing Jesus. Glory to God! And you are right about meeting again at the great Feast and Street Dance in Heaven.

I love what it says under your name for it is indeed all about the Lord!

Ah Yes Lost! Although God commands His Family to love and pray for one another, I find that it is easy to love and care for brothers and sisters. That is why I am troubled by those who seem to struggle, not only with that, but even with being able to identify who their Spiritual brothers and sisters are.

Thanks for being one of those so easy to identify, because you wear your love, proudly, like a badge, and others can see Jesus in you!

I know that you have your cross to bear, but you do not drag your chin and moan, but smile and show people Jesus! Your prayers are of extreme importance, as is your always uplifting and encouraging comments. You are a much loved sister.

In our lives and ministries there are many doors, and descisions, and bridges we must cross. God opens and closes doors but He leaves decisions to us. Sometimes we make good ones, and some times bad ones.
But we we cross muddled waters leaping from lilly pad to lilly pad, we need to know that the next pad will be in it's place. If it is not we can fall into those waters and be in insurmountable difficulties up to our neck. For a long time now you have been that lilly pad sitting on The Rock providing support in time of need.

There are no words for that. All I can say is Thank You and know that you are greatly loved and appreciated.
