• 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.

What is currently on your mind?

A young schoolgirl making a face like a crushed lemon

is told to sit down and shut up because she does not know what she is talking about,

is not hate.

Clearly she would not have made waves without certain forces pushing and using her.

It is all part of the scaremonger game, if one were to take time to ponder over things ,

one would stand in awe at how amazing the world is, and we are in fact living in the miracle of miracles.

She became dated very quickly and her continued attempts at relevance are pretty much a failure. She puts her hands behind her as if she is perpetually handcuffed when you can see she isn’t. It’s just sad when people find their total identity in politics and protests. Meanwhile, the world continues on as usual.

Don't know if you remember, but awhile back I said you weren't of the Left even though you said you were. I was wrong. If you don't recognize that she is the bare raw soul of Satan incarnate, you are Left.

She thought she was running the show when she was just used. Her arrogance and her parents blinded them all that they were just disposable tools.They are mostly likely seeing that now. She was pretty much brainwashed by ideology and became a useful idiot to the latest narrative. She is no longer useful. People have moved on.

Yes they have forgotten all else focusing on trump. When he is gone they will find themselves lost in the desert with no road map, but of course not for long. Always something to distract from reality

I think a lot of people have an unhealthy obsession with Trump. I don’t think it’s going to end anytime soon even after he leaves office. It’s an addiction from my observation. And it’s boring.

I felt so blah today. Woke up
To 44 degree weather. I’m sleeping later. I’m worried about this winter.

My husband’s cousin died today from pancreatic cancer. I feel really bummed out today.

I finally know where I am going next (which is good, because moving day is in, like, three weeks). I can't announce it publicly yet because I have to wait for the relevant bishop to do that, but it's a massive relief to be able to plan!

Probably not the word I'd pick, at this point. I'm sad to be leaving here, and I'm trying not to be overwhelmed at how much I have to do now in a very short space of time. The new role is going to be challenging - quite different to anything I've done before - and I'm not sure how I'm going to find it. And I'm going into a messy situation where my predecessor had to be removed from the role and it sounds as if it's all quite fraught.

But I'm grateful and relieved to know where I'm going, and there are definitely some good things about it - like being an hour and a half's drive from my parents instead of four, so it'll be easier to see them more often - and I feel like, I just have to trust God that He knows what He's doing, even if I don't feel entirely confident!

I know how hard you work and as hectic as it sounds, I think putting you there shows your superior’s confidence in your ability to perform the tasks needed. As soon as you can talk more freely about it, I’d be interested to hear more. I will be praying for you and your intentions.

No problem at all. I know we are from different traditions in our faith but I have always admired how dedicated and sincere you are in your ministry.

I have been laying a stainmaster floor in my kitchen. I have been working on this project for about four months. I had to tear up a lot of rotting subfloor and replace it with a nice, sturdy subfloor. I am now putting down the stainmaster. I am 71, and thank the Lord, I am still able to do this sort of thing. I am not breaking any records, but it is getting done. The wife worries about me and is constantly making me take breaks. She loves me. I kind of like that, so I suffer her interference with joy. There are a lot of sore muscles. But that is good. Keeps the fluids flowing and body limber. Praise the Lord for helping me!

Prayers for you during this project and that it’s completed soon with no serious physical issues.
