  1. I became ordained last year because my friend wanted me to marry her and her fiance. I have been mother to so many kids in my life, dozens of them. I watched them grow up, counseled them, cried with them and am still very involved in many of their lives. I am a natural born counselor, one of those people who can't sit in an airport without someone spilling their life stories to and it has even become a joke amoungst my family. I find that now that my "kids" are growing up and getting married they are asking me to be a part of their weddings. I started this as a bit of a joke but have realized that God does work in mysterious ways, I never expected to be so moved by being asked to perform such an important ceremony in someones lives. What an honor it is to have someone say, "I want you to marry us, it would mean so much". After performing my first wedding for a couple that I have known since they were children I was hooked. I am now preparing for another wedding and the word has gotten out. The response is unbelievable. What a wonderful thing. Thank you ULC! Many may scoff at our ordination "ON LINE" and say that we are not true ministers, but I believe that the ministry is a calling, not a job, and going to school for years to learn the accptable dogma does not make you a good minister. I am a minister because I feel it, and no one can dispute that.
