  • 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.

Recently I decided to be a little more proactive in my season of waiting and reached out to one of my contacts in ministry to see if there were any opportunities around to serve with the gifts God's given me. And he told me about a wealthy guy that has bought up houses in the area and is letting needy and former homeless people live in them. Anyway, he's looking to hire someone to come in and minister to the men such as organizing and conducting Bible studies etc.

Today's meeting was positive. We have another lunch meeting scheduled for tomorrow. So far the light is green for things to proceed. But we'll see how things pan out. Please just pray that God's will be done. This is nowhere near the promise God has given me for the future, but it would be a good opportunity to serve in the meantime before God brings other things to pass.
Well, after a few weeks of meeting with this guy and driving around with him, I'm not convinced he's on the up and up much less converted. I'm bowing out of this.

A friend of mine had some criminal charges levied against him, and one of the stipulations of his release was that he admits himself to rehab. Well, the day he went to turn himself in to rehab, they turned him away due to him not having an ID. So he called me back to pick him back up off the streets but someone got to him first. Now he's AWOL and hasn't been heard in over 72 hours.
