• 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.

  • 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.

southern Massachusetts LOL...
my wife and I prayed last winter and spring for God to open a door for us to move south because living in the northeast has become too expensive. However, God wants us to stay up here.
We sure can use prayer because I'm unemployed, looking for work, and we're struggling to make ends meet. Hard when we got a $2600/month mortgage and bills to pay.
And for the record, our house is a tiny rance with just 1,064 square feet, worth $266,000. Around the Boston area that's the cheapest you'll find a decent house sell for.
Anything below that is usually a fixer-upper or in a bad neighborhood.
If we could have moved to, let's say, Dallas or Houston, or even Mobile, we could've bought a house with 1,500 sq. ft. for $150,000.
Since my wife works for the US Gov, we'd have been in better financial footing down south than up here.
