  • 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.

In an odd sort of way, it actually shows that you're MEANT to move to Canada. The Devil knows what amazing works you'll get done out there and will do anything to sabotage God's will.

$250 is beer money, don't dwell on it. Especially with what awaits you on the other side. Don't let the "B-words" of the world drag you down.

Please continue to pray that I follow only the Holy Spirit's guidance in this. He has directed me now to ask for help in finding other avenues of immigration from my attorney instead of registering to take another test (there's no location near my home in Arkansas - not even four hours' driving distance - that will test again for over another month ) here where I had before in Houston or anywhere else. At least for now. It is difficult to have full 100% unwavering trust at a time like this, when to any normal observer it might seem like I am just crazy, mentally unstable just imagining things or something, or that it isn't the Holy Spirit but an evil spirit leading me in all of this seeming confusion, telling me one thing then another. But if the spirit guiding me now passes the test of 1 John 4:1-3, how can I not follow? What more proof do I need to confirm it is none other than the Holy Spirit of God? There has to be a reason, in His great wisdom we humans cannot fathom, why things seem so bleak or confusing right now to me. Please pray that i will continue to follow Him anywhere, no matter how strange or incomprehensible His direction may seem right now, that i will ultimately trust and not doubt or turn away.

And thank you for listening and trying to understand, everyone, even though it must be hard to, to say the least.

Whats on my mind? Not much....except just wondering what to do in regards to my church closing due to this coronavirus outbreak. Where do I go for worship? Do I stick with that congregation? So many questions.....

I just don't 'get' the Beach Boys... I do to the extent that they were all about surf boards, soda pop, long blonde flocks and cheesy one liners, but when the psychedelic era hit, they just didn't belong y'know? Okay, Pet Sounds was an alright album, but when The Beatles had just dropped Rubber Soul the year before and were about to drop Revolver, Pet Sounds just didn't stand a chance - and that's not to mention what bands like Cream, Small Faces and The Stones were doing at that time either.

When it comes down to it, The Beach Boys had one shtick, surf boards, sunsets and high waves. Even their psychedelic efforts sounded like an episode of Baywatch.

Hey they were the heavy metal of their day. Surf music involves sharks.. and that sounds pretty edgy doesn't it?

They were about as metal as a beach ball. (Although I appreciate the humour.)

The 60's had Janis Joplin anyway - don't worry about a lack of volume, she was an absolute animal. She'd be able to rival most of today's metal bands on her own.

I don't know.. used to watch these YouTube videos of black metal played without much distortion.. and it sounded pretty close to surf music. Seems like if the Beach Boys turned up the distortion they would have been the heaviest band on the planet, lol.

I've got to say the idea is appealing - I'd love to hear it. "The Beach Boys present - The Bad Trip" (in collaboration with Slipknot, Murder Dolls and Lamb of God)

Sooooooo bored... I work customer service at my local Kohl’s store... I clocked in 6:30 tonight and by 7:50 I had all my returns put away, no clearance to clearance, my change drawer counted, two of my three registers counted down and I’m so bored!

I always have books in my office and a tablet I use for notekeeping/studying that syncs up with a tablet I have at home for the same thing. There are often times where there are a few minutes to spare, I prefer to read instead of sitting there doing nothing (but sometimes that's what is needed!).

This is a pretty mundane prayer request so I'll just post it here. I've recently been doing some decluttering of my space. I found out I'm missing two items that are about the size of a fifty cent coin. They cost me a pretty penny so I would like to find them again. Hopefully they are still inside the house and haven't been sucked up by the vacuum cleaner when my mom was cleaning. Thanks.

I technically shouldn’t have been on my phone but I had nothing to do... I had maybe at most ten customers the whole night...

Phone is one thing, but I don't think a book is that bad.

I am the most senior person bar one across my organisation now but in the past I've always spoken to my superiors, if they brought me up on it, that I'd rather spend my time well than pretend to look busy for the sake of looking busy. Most, if not all, had no problem with that once I explained it.

I only like lamb under certain circumstances. Usually in the form of a biryani or a shish kebab. Otherwise, I'm not a fan - it's too fatty and sweet tasting.

Minted lamb burgers are nice.
