  • 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.

Today I am grateful for...

I am very thankful that my purse and wallet mysteriously unaccountable for over 36 hours has been found right here at home in a most unusual spot safe and sound. And of course in the very last place I would think to look. Jan

thankful CF is back online!

AMEN Kay!

I also give thanks that we serve a LIVING SAVIOUR. We have LIFE because HE has LIFE, and HE is our "ALL IN ALL!"

Colossians 2:13-17 NASB When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, 14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. 16 Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-- 17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

Who is Susie ?





WET PANTS




Come with me to a third grade classroom.......
There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk
and all of a sudden,
there is a puddle between his feet
and the front of his pants are wet..

He thinks his heart is going to stop
because he cannot possibly imagine
how this has happened.

It's never happened before, and he knows
that when the boys find out he will never hear the end of it.
When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again
as long as he lives.


The boy believes his heart is going to stop;
he puts his head down and prays this prayer,
'Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now!
Five minutes from now I'm dead meat.'


He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher
with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.

As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie
is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water
Susie trips in front of the teacher and inexplicably
dumps the bowl of water in the boy's lap.

The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while
is saying to himself, 'Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!'


Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule,
the boy is the object of sympathy.
The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on
while his pants dry out.
All the other children are on their hands and knees
cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful.
But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his
has been transferred to someone else - Susie.



She tries to help, but they tell her to get out.
You've done enough,
you klutz!'


Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus,
the boy walks over to Susie and whispers,
'You did that on purpose, didn't you?'
Susie whispers back, 'I wet my pants once too...'



May God help us see the opportunities
that are always around us to do good..



Remember.....Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian
any more than standing in your garage makes you a car...


Each and everyone one of us is going through tough times right now,
but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can.

Keep the faith.


My instructions were to pick four people that I wanted God to bless,
and I picked you.

Please pass this to at least four people you want to be blessed
and a copy back to me.


This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive.

There is no cost but a lot of rewards.

Let's continue to pray for one another.




The Prayer:

Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives
and those that I care deeply for, who are reading this right now.
Show them a new revelation of Your love and power.
Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment.
Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy.
Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace.
Where there is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs.
Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings... Amen



Thank you Vivian

That the resurrection of our Lord and God and Savior, Jesus Christ, is more than a memory, and more than His living on in the hearts and minds of His followers. That Jesus Christ literally, physically rose from the dead, and so overcame sin, death, and the devil for us, forever!
