It could have come across as they wanted you to leave the church, not the UPC

KP,
I know as an ultra con you feel a certain obligation to be somber but you just have to lighten up! It was clear they, like myself, thought your wording was inadverdently funny as it could be taken that your church wanted you to leave. Period. We all knew you meant the UPC but to the casual reader it could have been read that your church wanted to get rid of you. That is what was funny.

Excellent advice! I was 'all serious like" and it wasn't much fun either. Had 3 or 4 heart attacks too.

In person, KP is one of the funniest guys I know.
He is a lot of fun to be around, and can tell more stories than you can shake a stick at.

Sorry, guys. I am suffering from some kind of sinus infection and am therefore not in the best of moods. I apologize.
I didn't realize that what I had written came across the way you took it. Again, I am sorry. Hopefully I'll feel better in a few days and can return to my normally cheerful self.
