• 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's on your mind?

Not worth it in the end. I need to be smart about how I marry.. more specifically free from SJW mindsets.

True. My daughter stopped pestering me to remarry when I told her that the only reason I would remarry is for sex.

The Lord told me I’d marry and have a family. I believe Him. It will come to pass as He said. As have other promises.

I still have the pair of organic cotton onesies I won unexpectedly. And a heap of pattern ideas for the trousseau, layette, and nursery. So I’d better start sewing and learn to knit while I’m at it.

ETA: I have 2 sets of canvases. I think I’ll make a vision board.

May it be so, then, Bella.



.... Miss Erin was unexpectedly at work tonight with me, and might be for another one or two days in the next two weeks. I was not prepared for this.

*lays hand delicately to forehead and begins to bow under the pressure*

Cuteness ... *gasp* ... overload .....

"And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful."


So, he says, "Well, if He hasn't made you any promises, there's nothing to disbelieve."


I respond, "He has made me promises, and He Will complete."

Of course, he snaps back, "So, then what are you worried for?"


"I'm not."


"...so what are you struggling for?"


"I'm not...that's just the beating of my wings..."

It already is. That's what I needed to grasp.

I approach my calling from that perspective. But I wasn't doing the same with marriage. Now I am.

So, at this point, I'm leaning towards just being like the Yucca...and laying it all down...with open pods...scattering my seeds in a death heave...

But, then, the whole NDA thing came to mind...and the "what ifs?"...

And then I remembered Solomon's wisdom:

1 Kings 3

"23 Then the king replied, 'This woman says, ‘My son is alive and yours is dead,’ but that woman says, ‘No, your son is dead and mine is alive.’ 
24 The king continued, 'Bring me a sword.' So they brought him a sword,
25 and the king declared, 'Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.'
26 Then the woman whose son was alive spoke to the king because she yearned with compassion for her son. 'Please, my lord,' she said, 'give her the living baby. Do not kill him!' But the other woman said, 'He will be neither mine nor yours. Cut him in two!'
27 Then the king gave his ruling: 'Give the living baby to the first woman. By no means should you kill him; she is his mother.'"

So, if someone wants to take this baby...don't cut it...nurture it, by all means.

*I'm praying about it...prayers appreciated, thx.
