  • 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)

    Had a high of 78 today. Supposed to be 83 tomorrow. But might drop back to average highs for this time of year by the weekend. Got potatoes, onions and spinach planted . . . before it decides to heat up and it's too late to plant. :rolleyes:

    still struggling with my job

    :praying: :praying: :praying: You will find a job that you are meant for. Just hang in there and leave it in God's hands. Don't let the reactions of others get you down.

    Hi Everyone

    :wave: Welcome, Mila! I'm with you regarding the doomscrolling. Trade in the stress of that for the peacefulness of reading the Bible. I've done the Bible in a year plan cover to cover several times. This year I started with Matthew, will finish the NT and then do something with the OT, not...

    What are your favorite flowers?

    My favorites are: rocket larkspur (very prolific and last into the hot summer); iris (have a short blooming season but are great year round in garden areas where nothing else might grow, loads of lovely colors too); and black-eyed susan (long growing season and withstands heat).

    I notice they're still available from WM and Amazon. But EXPENSIVE!

    I feel old...are you this old too?

    I still have a whole case of 45s! ^_^ I need to dig them out of the closet and throw a few on the record player. ;)

    What's On Your Mind?

    That sounds interesting! I was surprised the Methodist church we watched didn't have a blog service -- the pastor there has s really good blog that's shown on Youtube. We had maybe two inches of snow and a layer of sleet underneath. It might clear away by Thursday, the temps aren't in any...

    I feel old...are you this old too?

    You're 38? Last time I was 38 was in 1996! That was . . . a long time ago. :oops: People my age have gone from AM radio to vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to digital music (no thanks) and now the world is turning and going backwards to CDs and vinyl. There's nothing wrong with...

    What's On Your Mind?

    It feels strange not having SS or church today because of the ice and snow. It makes Sunday morning seem sort of lost. :confused: We're watching the local First Methodist re-broadcast of their Christmas Eve service. I helped my husband check in on the phone for a doctor appointment scheduled...

    Who here is getting sick of Winter?

    Bring on summer! Up until the last week or so winter was tolerable. But today... It's been sleeting since just after noon, the ground is covered. Supposed to be 12 tomorrow morning, down to -1 by Monday morning. Faucets have to drip. Sleet and snow through Sunday AM. This is something we...

    Do other Christians have trouble making friends?

    I do find it hard to make friends. But it's probably my fault. I find that most people I meet want to talk about themselves more than they want to listen. I get impatient and lose interest. That's just part of society today, our worlds revolve around ourselves. And unless we make an attempt to...

    The Good Old Days

    My mom never bought the Jiffy Pop pans. I remember she had a great big aluminum pot that she made popcorn in. I loved the sound the kernels made as they popped and hit the inside of the pot. I tried the Jiffy Pop once and managed to burn it. So now I just make it in the bag in the microwave...
