  • 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 the weather like where you are? (10)

We started August in Central Oklahoma with 7 earthquakes - magnitude 3.0 or greater. I'm not used to earthquakes and don't like them, so this is new for me. We just moved here about a year ago.

The temperatures have averaged about 10 degrees or more cooler in August of this year compared to previous years. This area has also gotten much more rain this August than in previous years. We'll just give thanks to God for what He gives us.

It's 78*F right now on it's way to 93; with not a sign of moister any where.

Tomorrow is to bring another heat~wave for the next few days with 100 degrees; with patchy smoke from our numerous forest fires.

I wished Texas could send some of the rain they are getting; it's not like they need so much.
I am so tired of summer.

Instead of just telling you about the weather; I thought I would show you the smoke. We had no clouds this morning; so I took pics of the sun rise; I could look at it without eclipse glasses. This is all smoke.

So sorry to hear about the forest fires mnorian. Praying for rain for you. :prayer:

It is; we are very blessed. :) I would struggle to cope with the hot summers and cold winters of continental weather systems and feel for those of you who have them. I hope the temperatures drop soon in your area. :)

We are doing ok here in Central Texas. The worst we got was 60 MPH winds, and wound up getting around 4.5 inches of rain over the entire weekend, so we are in good shape with no storm damage. Praise the Lord!
Please keep those along the Texas and Louisiana coast in your prayers; many areas have seen significant damage and things continue to get worse for them.

Prayers for them Kevin. Praise God that you and yours are okay. :)

I thought it had rained here recently, as it has been quite autumnal, but I found that my hanging baskets were dying, and the pot plants parched, so I watered them and then saw that heavy rain is forecast for tomorrow! :doh: Temps low to mid teens C (+/- 60F).

It's 83F and mostly cloudy here today in Central Oklahoma. We're still enjoying the lower temperatures, and Autumn is just around the corner.

We've had a pretty good day overall for the first day of Spring. The obligatory rain shower, of course, ^_^ but otherwise fine and quite warm.
