  • 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.

p.s. plez no flame wars in here my hut will burn veary fast iv a flame war starts... its olny grass ya know...


Oh gentle winds 'neath moonlit skies,
Do not you hear my heartfelt cries?

Below the branches, here about,
Do not you sense my fear and doubt?
Side glistening rivers, sparkling streams,
Do not you hear my woeful screams?

Upon the meadows, touched with dew,
Do not you see my hearts a'skew?
Beneath the thousand twinkling stars,
Do not you feel my jagged scars?

Seek not my mournful heart kind breeze,
For you'll not find it 'mongst these trees.

It's scattered 'cross the moonlit skies,
Accompanied by heartfelt sighs.
It's drifting o're the gentle rain,
A symbol of my silent pain.

It's buried 'neath the meadow fair,
Conjoined with all the sorrow there.
It's lost among the stars this night,
Too far to ease my quiet fright.

No gentle winds, seek not my heart,
For simply ... it has torn apart.

hi yall this being sunday i thought id post this


This story is of a soldier, of a hero brave in war,
with feats that he accomplished, that no one had before.

His commander called a meeting, and requested a volunteer,
One with strength and courage, a man who knew no fear.

"A suicide mission," He said,"that may help to end this fight,
you must sacrifice for wrong, so this world can turn out right."

In the silence of the crowd, came a stern but gentle voice,
"Send me" He told the general,"cause you have no other choice."

The commander paused a moment, as he knew what must be done,
as grief filled up the general's heart, This soldier his only son.

As the soldier prepared for battle, these instructions he was told,
"You must die to save this world, be strong my son, be bold."

Then this brave and mighty soldier, called his foe,as though inviting,
drew his sword equipped with truth, began a war of all out fighting.

He soon received a message, with instructions from his boss,
"It's time for you to die my son, but it's not a total loss."

"Our enemy must kill you," the general's message said.
"They will think they've won the war, with our mighty soldier dead."

"Then after three short days, I'll renew your given power."
"You'll rise up from the grave, and be King that very hour."

The soldier obeyed his orders, laid his weapons on the ground,
was tagged a P.O.W., but he never made a sound.

Then the enemy's great leader, cursing truth with every breath,
said "Take this hero soldier, and put him straight to death."

Then away they took the soldier, as the winds began to toss,
they beat him and they mocked him, then they nailed him to a cross.

After three days in the grave, as his message clearly said,
the general of the army, brought his son back from the dead.

The hero of the war, was this man who volunteered,
He was decorated proudly, while the other soldiers cheered!

His death remains a symbol, and a path was clearly paved,
That if other soldiers serve Him, their lives too would be saved.

But soon the world forgot Him,even to this very day,
They list the soldier Jesus, PRESENTLY M.I.A.



The Devil has launched a massive attack,
on the armies of the Lord.
No time to waste, no time to loose,
no time can he afford.

The time is now, for Christ's return,
so he's turning up the heat.
He's got our backs up against the wall,
his victory is so sweet.

His Demons poised with darts in hand,
as our defense weakly stalls.
And rejoice they do, when the battle's through,
and another Christian falls.

The battles that the Devil wins,
he doesn't even draw his gun.
Because at the sight, of a dirty fight,
most Christians turn and run.

They lay down at the Devil's feet,
and he steps upon their head.
Then the Devil laughs, to his evil staff,
just leave this one for dead.

But we Christians need to understand,
that the battles that we wage.
Were fought with pride, the day Christ died,
on Calvary's Holy stage.

But we Christians hide when sufferings come,
when affliction comes our way.
Limp wristed in our stand for Christ,
with meekness we do pray.

We give in, each time a battle roars,
at the sight of blood we fade.
We don't look like soldiers brave and bold,
but like Girl Scouts on parade.

So it's back to basic training friends,
off to boot camp we must go.
To learn those lessons once again,
we should already know.

So listen up, to sergeant Tim,
with no talking in the ranks.
The first lesson that we'll learn today,
is how to guard our flanks.

Keep both your eyes on General Christ,
regardless of what you see.
Then strap the helmet of Salvation on,
the hat that set you free.

Then the breastplate of righteousness, fasten tight,
and cover those feet with peace.
And brace those loins about with truth,
till all the bombing's cease.

Then take the shield of faith in hand,
and pray for all your worth.
And that fiery dart, aimed for your heart,
will fall back down to earth.

Take the sword of the spirit and hold it tight,
and swing it like a fool.
And cut those Demons down to size,
in a Holy Ghost'n duel.

Cause we don't fight with flesh and blood,
but with powers from the dark.
And with spiritual wickedness resting high,
not from some kiddie park.

So the armor of God, you now possess,
is all you'll ever need.
So don't run away, stand and fight today,
with Jesus at the lead.

But there might be days approaching you,
when a dart may make it through.
You might leave your shield at home one day,
when Satan comes for you.

So if he knocks you down my friend,
don't just lay there on the floor.
But boldly stand, with sword in hand,
and declare a Holy War!

Then call on General Jesus Christ,
to help you kick some tail.
And watch the Devils demons run,
and scamper back to Hell.

Cause General Christ is always there,
regardless of how dim.
But if he's late, don't you hesitate,
to call on sergeant Tim.

here, i'll post this...

To my dear mother,
I hate to remind you,
But I think I have to,
You swore to me,
That I would see,
You know better,
And on cold days I should wear a sweater,
But I know that I can wake up on time,
When my alarm does chime,
All I had planned,
I can make a lunch,
It's just a hunch,
You don't think I have friends,
And you are quick to reprimand,
But just to make sure,
And you won't score,
Do not wake my slumber,
I may be sawing lumber,
So do not wake me,
Unless it's 7:30!
Your loving and caring daughter

My honey sweet,
Despite the reprimands,
Troubles & strife,
I thank God everyday,
That you're a part of my life,

My mama-heart worries,
About all that you do,
Because I love you so much,
And want the best for you,

Your girl-mind cannot understand,
The concerns that I ponder,
The dangers around you -
The fear that you'll wonder...

I know that you're smart,
That you can fix your own lunch,
That you have friends at school,
But are they a nice bunch?

It hurts me to see you,
so painfully shy,
You remind me of me,
So I guess that is why!

Make all kinds of friends,
You have so much to give,
Share humor & love
As long as you live.

XOXO mom

i left some parts out... but this really did happen. there was an argument between me and my mom and to release some anger and frustration i wrote the first poem. my mom discovered it and responded with the second... there are three p.s.'s but i left them out for my own reasons... ok, now that i've shown how horrible my poetry is i'll sit back and allow someone who's talented in that area to write proems. :)

The Shield and the Flower


Mothers weep and fathers mourn
as home on shields their sons are born.
Men who die for a nations need
are still the sons of their fathers seed.
The nation wears black as their brave depart
born on the shoulders of the kindred heart.
The seed is planted into rows of stone
with the shields placed there so the glories known
Mothers tears dry and fathers stand tall
as they talk of the how sons have given their all.
They shout this should not have come to pass
when bright shields in rows were carried past,
besmirching the nation that would dare to ask
that mothers and fathers bare this task
While shields are left to stand in the rain.
Soon becoming blemished and marked with stain.
The luster of each shield suffers from the blemish
and the duty of the seed becomes diminished.
The nation goes on because of strength of the seed
but the flower it grew now becomes a weed.
and the nation is weakened by the diminished power
of shields with out luster and seed with no flower.
