I am so thankful to have been raised in the UPC...
 
After reading a book called Escape by Carolyn Jessop. She was born into the FLDS and at age 18 forced to be the 4th wife of a 50 year old man. Eight kids, sixteen years, and two more "sister wives" later she finally escapes. Yes, I am truly thankful.....

I am thankful to have been raised in the UPC, in no particular order:

1. I got to be the odd man out in PE wearing sweat pants when everyone else was wearing shorts.

2. I learned to determine my position in Christ by how I felt.

3. I learned how to judge other's salvation by what they wear.

4. I learned that being out of control in church was being "in the spirit."

5. I was able to avoid all the evil trappings of playing the sports I loved, but could only play if it was in the neighborhood or at a church outing.

6. I learned to evaluate a message by the decibel of the preacher rather than the content of the message.

The list could go on and on but I got a yard to mow...in my short sleeves and short pants.
