Sorry, my bad, I should know better than to presume.

Do you find that your health has had a positive impact on your relationship with God? Has it brought you closer to him or pushed you away?

Thanks guys I'm loving this new multi quote thing!!

Of course it does. Does your faith help you deal with your condition?

...and this is me, though I don't understand why it's coming up so small?

This is me, and my cat. We are good friends.

Ello ello. Long time no talk.

Just wondering how many members we have that have chronic illnesses or would identify as disabled? It could be a physical or psychological health problem that you have. I have multiple chronic illnesses, mainly due to a lung condition I have, and identify as disabled because of those. Every day I take steps to deal with my conditions and work to remember that God is supporting me through every step of the journey. I just thought this could be a great way of meeting other members who have health issues, and being able to support each other through them.

I am Anglican... So it was fairly accurate at 95%

I think of homosexuality in its most basic of terms. One person showing love towards another. One person having such strong feelings of love that they want to spend their life with each other, despite the fact that many in society will make it less than easy for them. Love is good. It's something that God has asked us to do, to love one another. How then, can loving someone be wrong?

Zabby!! You're still here!! Confession - I may well be randomly posting '*insert name here* you're still here!!' numerous times over the next few weeks.

1) It's been many, many years since I even thought about CTF, and sadly many years since I last thought about my relationship with God. 2) I have allowed my physical health, or lack there of, to get in the way of my spiritual health. Something that I need to change. 3) I am LAZY. Like seriously lazy. I know I can't do much physically, but come on! 4) I am secretly angry that the person I selected to help me in my spiritual life, and support me through the ups and downs of living in this broken world has turned their back on me, and has ignored all attempts to get in contact.

Thanks guys!!

Hey Jakob! That's right, Cat was, well technically is my God Mother. Haha. I'm not even sure if she still comes on here? Good ole redemption radio, I had completely forgotten about that, that was years and years ago. Are the files for that still around? I would love to hear it! I was good friends with Brekat Your memory is as sharp as ever.

Thank you dear Yoda. Glad to see you are still around! What would this place be without you and your staff-ness.

My memory is shocking, so chances are I have forgotten most people. *Hangs head in shame* However, you do sound familiar, and I'm pretty sure we must have chatted with each other at some point, probably on the live chat?! I spent many hours in there!

ABBY!! It's been YEARS! Literally! How on earth are you?!? What have you been up too?! *Tackle glomps*

Hey! I'm Kirsty and once upon a time I was a regularly posting member of CTF! I was also a staff member, and used to help run the counselling team on the support forum Anyway, I've been away a while, and I expect that there's lots of new people and not many that I know here anymore, but I'm very excited to get to know you all. If any of you have been around since 2008ish and recognise me it would be great to catch up! So... To help me get to know you, tell me three things about yourself!? God bless, Kirsty. X

I think you will all be spectacularly impressed when I inform you all that not only can I do a grand total of one push up, I can do just as many sit ups. Feel free to ask me how I do it, I might not tell you though, the secret of my immense level of fitness is well guarded.

Helloooo, this is me and my beautiful niece after one major slushie drinking contest. We decided to battle it out and see who's tongue would go the bluest, needless to say I won!

I like the feeling that I get when I get out of hospital and realize that I won, and that I haven't been beaten.

Seeing as this game has ground to a halt under the magic of a Narnia conversation I'll get it going again! Would you rather be attacked by one horse size squirrel or a hundred squirrel sized horses?

The implications of what you are saying are enormous. You are essentially saying that as far as you are concerned a husband cant rape his wife, which means that he can have sexual intercourse with her whenever he wants, using force if necessary because he is 'doing it to himself'. Do you honestly think that god would condone a situation where it is deemed okay for a man to put a woman through the trauma and pain that comes with rape? Can you really see him sitting up there going, my poor child, she is sad, but she has no reason to be, because what he just did to her is perfectly acceptable. Rape in my eyes, is rap. Even the idea that marriage gives a man the right to violate a woman in such an intimate way is something I can not even begin to consider.
