  • 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?

I didn't know you also enjoy writing, very cool. :)

Well there's a lot of nonfiction-based topics I want to get into, mostly involving the intertwining of Christianity and Judaism, which I have a lot of experience in. I'm keeping the details a bit vague in public lol. But I also want to get into fiction, perhaps in the science fiction and suspense genres.

I've always had a desire to teach and to write, but never really got serious about it until now. Plus I think it'll be a great way to supplement income right now.
I've been writing for a while! I very much enjoy it. I wrote a book and my computer completely crashed and I lost it. It made me back everything up after that. It took years for me to gain the courage again to write it all over again.

I think those stories are going to be great! I'll definitely be interested in learning more about it, but completely understand in trying to keep it vague :)

Please post the URL to your blog. Kthnx
I'll shoot ya a message :)

There's a lizard in my house! The other day, I saw his tail sticking out between the crown molding and the fireplace. Now, he's hiding under my fridge. It was kind of funny to watch him try to run on the slippery kitchen floor. His little legs were moving a lot faster than he was. Although I opened the door and tried to push him outside, he chose the fridge instead. Hopefully, he doesn't die under there. It will interesting to see if my cat finds him first, but I'd rather he escape unharmed.
Did he eventually leave?!

I'm pretty sure I have a squirrel stuck in my walls at my place. I've been hearing it for the past week.

Man.. I had a super vivid realistic dream last night. When I woke up halfway through.. my body felt paralyzed and stuck for a while. Was also a lucid dream.. sadly it didn't last for very long. Most dreams are really fuzzy.. but this one was like watching something in HD.
Please share. IF you feel comfortable!



I think I'm going to challenge myself and go ALL DAY tomorrow without using any emoji's in my posts here. I'm addicted to them. It's a problem.





:burglar:
I'll be grading you.

Even though I was not here at all yesterday or the day before (work has been cray cray. That's right, I said "cray cray". Deal with it.).

@shineyourlight I didn't do that well, that was yesterday and I only lasted 6 hrs, lol

Also I say cray cray as well :p
I never say cray cray. But, today is a beautiful day and hence, I'm out of character :p

Haha, I'll give you a B, then. Whether that's a minus or a positive B, I'll leave that to the people who saw it ;)

It seems like this is something you're very passionate about. I think it's awesome that you got back into it. :oldthumbsup:

I spent some time outside yesterday working on the outline, and I really enjoyed it. I didn't fully realize it but I've under enormous stress as of late; there's been so much going on all at once. But spending time outdoors and working on my book was a nice change of pace. It was like time all of a sudden time just slowed down and I was finally able to relax. Certainly something I'm going to get into a habit of.

I don't mind going into detail in private, I'll send a PM in a bit. :)

You gotta love the budding entrepreneurs that have come out since Covid19. Even though these type of things aren't my cup of tea for business models, it's a good way for some to earn some money in a short period of time. And I say get it while it lasts. Good for them.

Introducing the social distancing stick. Lol

Yes! I'd love to hear more about it :)

I'm sorry you're going through a rough time. I feel like I kind of got caught up in some stuff before Covid and when shut down happened, it just amplified the situations I was in. I finally was able to get out of a situation and it became better.

Sometimes, you need the outdoors as a different scenery. I am very outdoorsy and love nature, so I hear you on that one.

Thanks lol, but I'm doing fine now. Yes Covid, financial setbacks...the devil likes to try to throw a lot at us all at once at times, but God allows it to buffet us. He promises that all things work together for our benefit, and we can definitely find solace in that. He loves us beyond what we can possibly imagine.

Yeah, there is a such a peace and sacredness to being outdoors. Withdrawing from the world and everything man-made, and retreating to the simplicity of nature is refreshing on a spiritual level.

I'm not sure. He briefly came out from under the fridge yesterday morning, looked around for a moment, and then went back under. Oddly enough, as I write this, a similar lizard outside on my deck. It's possible that he followed me out when I had lunch.

So somebody on the forums (who shall remain nameless o_O) is spreading the rumor that my skim reading skills are mediocre at best and of lackluster quality... Well they're lying. :thumbsdown:

What an odd thing to criticise someone on...

Riddle me that, Jennie.
