Sherri,
Yes, we do get misunderstood here and quite often!! If I misunderstood you, then you did nothing wrong. I understand what you said better after MonkeyMan explained it to me.
I'm sure it's just me and how I get a little touchy sometimes when the UPC bashing goes through thread cycles. I probably do that because I see some things that can and should be fixed, but I also see a whole lot of good. That's one reason I don't speak of the negative things or relate some of my woe-is-me stories, although, I think I might have shared a few to explain a point. Another reason is because of the things we have been through and God speaks to me and my husband saying, "Stay where you are. I am building a church". It just gets to me when people criticize something that God brought me into and tells me to stay put. I'm not referring to what you said, at this point, just sharing as we have cleared up our matter here.
I've been through a lot of things, seen a lot of things, but in the midst of it all - God has shown me His love and power -
Psalm 93 is one that I could frame as He uses this Psalm, from time to time, to remind me of what I do know in the midst of confusion and fear!
My mother has been researching and writing about the Catholic Church for years! She absolutely can't stand the Catholic Church! When she brings that up to me, I am quick to tell her that the Catholic Church gave me an awareness of God and even though I thought Jesus and God were two separate entities, I still fell in love with Jesus. I wanted to know Him like Moses did at the burning bush in the movie, The Ten Commandments. (lol) When I stepped into a UPC church at 25 years old, I saw the preacher's wife dancing before the Lord. It was the first time in my life I was sure that God was that real and touchable.
I'm very sorry that I made you feel sad today. I certainly didn't want to do that. We can all get touchy about things given it's such a place for opposing views and decided opinons. So, if you are working on being careful with what you say, I certainly need to do the same and take a chill pill on the, perceived, UPC bashing. I will try to do better as well.
Well, I'm off for a couple of weeks to entertain company, perhaps, I will come back and turn a new leaf! Renda, no comments from you! lol!
