• 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.

How was it? I have my name on the hold list at the library, but it could be awhile yet. (I may the librarian, but I have to wait my turn like everyone else. :rolleyes: )

Currently reading The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. Good book as sci-fi, but pretty cynical social commentary.

Although one thing that is interesting is the repeated culture shock the main character goes through because he keeps getting further in the future due the effects of time dilation. The part where he hits the 23rd century and discovers the whole world has gone homosexual and that his heterosexuality is considered an undesirable trait is pretty contrived, but amusing nonetheless.

I'm reading Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis.
I just finished Questioning Evangelism: Engaging People's Hearts the Way Jesus Did by Randy Newman. Great book. Sometimes giving people a flat out answer is not what they really want or need. Sometimes those questions can get people to slow down and really think about what they are saying.

I did a review of the book on my website if anyone is interested.
