  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I live in a rural/mountain community in western NC and we found out the wildfires near us are 100% contained! We are safe, no loss of folks or property...

Praise God!

Now the hard work begins. We need to pray for those less fortunate, and tomorrow some friends and I will be traveling into town with truckloads of donations for the evacuees who lost everything. Please pray with me for them.

Thank You, Lord!

All good things

Went to town with my truck full of things folks have donated. I thought the drop-off point was at the Red Cross, but I didn't see it.

So I called my hubby who's a cop, and he said, "My precious little dingbat, it's right here in our parking lot."

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Mission accomplished.

I just got a call from a family here. They make pet food. They went into overdrive on it for the shelters and evacuees.

And they need Big Blue and me to get it down the mountain, ha!

Can't right now, I have bread baking and a vat of stew going ... but I will!

Do you mean that the fires in Gatlinburg made their way to the other side of the mountains? (like the bear lol) Or were there other fires?
