  • 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

What simple joys...

sitting in my big blue comfy chair with my afghan that my grandma made, reading my book.
eating cheese and raisins.
painting my toenails.
....
baby hugs.
having coffee with good friends.
caramel chocolate lattes and white chocolate mochas.
buying a new book.
...
getting lost on purpose, just to see what's out there.
It's an almost familiar list!, except

sitting in front of the crackling fire with the blue afghan that my mother made, reading my book or surfing the net.
eating cheese and crackers with a tart fruit juice out on the hammock
painting my toenails (not! no analogue here, but substitute...)
swinging on my adult-size swing in the front yard under the pine trees or enjoying the breeze on the back patio
....
baby hugs (definitely! and mom hugs too).
spending time with friends (even if they don't like coffee!).
sipping cafe mocha and watching people at the mall
having bought a new book.
...
taking a different way, just to see what's out there or enjoy a different place
trying a new dish to see if it tastes like you thought it would​
:^) It must be contageous!

ps - "As soon as we have seen that darkness, all light is lightning, sudden, blinding, and divine. Until we picture nonentity we underrate the victory of God, and can realize none of the trophies of His ancient war. It is one of the million wild jests of truth that we know nothing until we know nothing"
- That's another great quote!

---------
"Until a man realizes God has designed a daily providence and obedience-shaped place for him in the universe he is doomed to eternal wandering.
It is only in that place that he is blessed to know ultimate unity with all of God's creation and his heart cries - I have a place! It is right! I am home!"
