  • 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.

I ask that you join me in prayer that I can successfully manage a difficult work relationship with an individual who is not my boss who is known to be condescending and dismissive.

I do not know why I keep winding up in situations like this, but it has been a recurring theme over a work-life of some 50 years.

I am burdened with difficulties outside work, and the job is tough as is; this person does not make matters better.

I do not particularly like the job, and I most definitely do not like how this individual treats people. I see neither the point of nor the reasons for that behavior.

I pray the strength to maintain my composure while insisting on appropriate boundaries, because I have just about reached the limits of my own ability to cope. I have gone so far as to resume the use of medication for anxiety, of which I have had no need for many years.

I look for the Lord God's strength to sustain me.

Thank you kindly for your time.
