yeah... some of my friends are telling me that it's ok to not help anymore, that I can only do so much...

idk.    I don't think I'll ever feel that way.



we move quite a bit of red diamond at the store... sell more of the merlot than cab... too fruity for me, but it's easy drinking for when customers want to get their feet wet in reds

Its a really rough road both for the person that's ill and for the one trying to help. I hope things turn around for your friend and also for you. You're an awesome friend for supporting her.


The red diamond is ok, not my favorite. Got any suggestions on the cab or merlot front? Not looking for super expensive, just something thats all around good.

This is to confirm that

Cierra Lisette Miller

Portland OR

has been ordained as a minister of the
Universal Life Church, Modesto, California.

Date of Ordination: 07/05/09
by Kevin Andrews, Pastor
www.ulc.net
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your request for ordination has been processed and submitted to the Universal Life Church Headquarters in Modesto, California for recording.

Please retain the above date of ordination for your records, as you may need this information in the future to fill out the various forms of the clergy.    If you were ordained previously, the above date will constitute a valid date upon which you were RE-ordained.   Ordination is for life, without price, and without question of your specific beliefs.    You do not need to pay any tithe, donation, or offering of any kind, now or in the future.

Please note that you have NOT been ordained "by Internet" or "online."    The Universal Life Church is a "regularly established church or congregation" and all ordinations are done as the deliberate, thoughtful, and responsible act of a human being, not by a computer.   As is the case with nearly every church, organization and business, the ULC makes use of the Internet and email for administrative communications, but the ordination itself is not done online and should not be referred to as such.   Also, it is important to note that you did not ordain yourself.

The church holds regular meetings every Sunday morning in Modesto, and has congregations in all 50 states of the USA as well as countries throughout the world.   Upon ordination, you are a minister of the church in Modesto, though you may establish a separate congregation or join an existing local group if you choose to do so.  ULC does not require you to relinquish your membership or participation in any other church or organization, as the ULC doctrine is not in conflict with any peaceful belief system.

If you would like to order an official printed copy of your ordination credential certificate, a wallet card, or any other items, you will find them on the web site:
http://shop.ulc.net

Universal Life Church ordination is not limited to the officiation of marriage.  This is an important distinction, as in some jurisdictions, ministers who are ordained for the sole purpose of officiating marriage are not authorized by the state to officiate marriage in those jurisdictions. As a minister, you are authorized by the church to perform all peaceful rites and ceremonies of the church, including weddings, funerals, baptisms, blessings, and to preach,  teach and hold meetings.  Prior to conducting any civil ceremony (such as marriage), you should know and comply with the laws pertaining to your area of jurisdiction.

You are entitled to all privileges and courtesies normally offered to members of the clergy.

Your commitment is to always do the right thing.  It is your responsibility to peacefully and sincerely determine the right course of action, and to avoid infringing on the rights of others.  You alone are responsible for your  actions as a minister.

It is not a piece of paper which makes you a minister.  However, many people wish to have a certificate, wallet card, or other record of their status as a minister.   Such items are particularly useful to those who wish to perform marriages as part of their ministry.  It can serve to reassure the bride and groom (or their parents!) that the minister has been ordained.

Many ministers like to provide couples they marry with an authentic Universal Life Church Marriage Certificate for them to include among their wedding keepsakes.  Others just want to have a professionally printed certificate as a permanent record of their ordination.  With this in mind, we offer an assortment of Clergy Packages to help you get started quickly and easily in your ministry.  These packages contain documents, literature, and helps for various situations.  Please understand however, that you are not required or expected to purchase anything, and these items are not necessary for you to have an effective and meaningful ministry.

depends on what you're looking for in cab or merlot... alot of the new, especially lower-end, stuff out of california seems to be light and fruity... which is fine, just not my bag.

off hand, I do find myself liking the show, mondavi's solaire, and louis martini for cheaper cab... not too big on new world merlot, but the '05 tin roof is fantastic at $11

we have this wonderful spanish merlot... la mancha, iirc.  pago de la jaraba, '03. $21'ish
