Sounds like you're doing the right thing in praying for a right spirit. I enjoy reading your posts here, and would hate to see you leave. Some days you just have to shut the computer off and get away from it, and then come back.

Whatever you decide, I'd support you, but trust me, not all of us hate the UPC, even those of us who left it. And, not all who post what might appear to be anti-UPC threads are UPC haters, either. Sometimes it's catharctic, when you've been entrenched in something for so many years, it's hard to leave it and find balance immediately. You go back and forth a few times, and in the process come off as an extremist on either side - sometimes both at the same time!

But, we love you here, and I hope you can find the peace of mind you need to stay and post on the threads that uplift you, and avoid the ones that bring you down!

Thanks Michael, I am just really trying to have a good attitude on here. I will just keep on praying and know that God is in control. A couple of my faults, letting God have control, and keeping my mouth shut........... Pray for me.
