  • 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.

Wow, my only sleep problem is I don't like to sleep but realize it's necessary for the body.

My schedule is usually jampacked most days of the week. I exercise in one form or another almost every day. My diet is very healthy. When it isn't, I can have nightmares.

Clear your mind before going to bed. I'm guessing I'm still somewhat sleep deprived, so when I give my body the opportunity to sleep, it is very happy and I fall asleep usually less than a minute after going to bed.

I do not watch TV, turn on the radio or any of that stuff before I go to bed. The room is quiet, dark, and a comfortable temperature. The only times I have trouble falling asleep is if I am traveling -- strange city, strange bed, unfamiliarity. At that point, I just get up to do work.
