  • 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

We give thanks

^ oh my goodness, for real? I'm glad you are OK!!

Yep, for real. That is the closest theater to my mom's house and we are visiting her. My son was a HUGE Batman fan when he was younger...if he had asked to go, there is a good chance I'd have taken him. We've been at that theater before.

Thank the Lord and praying for the families. I dont have internet or tv from home and only heard about it while walking at 4pm with a friend. Its terrible. Colorado has had two tragedies in a short time.

Extremely thankful this morning for my health. With those of you here and also my boss's wife that is suffering, I just have to thank God! Because I am the ONLY one here to take care of my kids and pay the bills etc...if something happened like what happened to my boss's wife I don't even KNOW what I would do!

Also thankful for my TWO jobs. I wish I didn't have to work 2 jobs, but I am thankful the Lord is allowing me to, to help supplement my income.

Thankful for my small group. Although I feel I do not fit in to where they all are in their lives, I am grateful that they have allowed me into their group.

Thankful that I don't have to work tonight cuz the rest of this week, I have to work every night except Wednesday and that is the night I meet with my girlfriend so...busy rest of the week!

Thankful that I am getting my long awaited crown for a rotten tooth on Wednesday! I have needed to get this re-done for 17 years! Seriously, I can't even believe there is any tooth left to crown lol.
Of course that means they will have to re-do my bottom retainer and when will I have time to do that? IDK (shrugs)

I am thankful to have a God that understands me even when I do not.

I am thankful to have 2 wonderful sons, actually 3 when I count my step son.

I am thankful to have great conversation here online.

I am thankful to have at least one friend in the world I could tell everything to, besides God.

I am thankful for God's word and the ability to pray for people I don't know IRL.

I am thankful for a future full of hope even if it wasn't the one I had planned for (or necessarily the one that I wanted).

I am thankful for the two kids that God has given me...that they both love Him and love me.

I am thankful for the potential friends that God has placed in my life and pray that He teaches me how to grow these friendship in ways that I can be a real friend to them.

I am thankful for figure skating. It meets a real need in my daughter's life and it brings me peace to just watch.

I am thankful for Boy Scouts and the opportunities it provides my boy to be both a boy and to grow into a man that I respect.

Oh...I'm extremely thankful for the internet.

This has been my survival tool after my husband died, my guide as I learn to face this world alone (YouTube and google for descriptions on how to repair things), and it has enlarged my social life since I can be with friends while still having my body home with my kids.

I'm thankful that I got some more painting done on the house.

I'm thankful that it looks like I'll have my 1st date since my last relationship ended. Well, the romantic part ended, looks like the friendship part is going to continue.

The true test will be when you do get involved with someone else. If she is still your friend afterward, then it will continue.

Good luck on your new 1st date!
