Sentence From De Sermon

De Piggy took this from today's sermon: Few people wisely capitalize on their own doubts and fears. A man reportedly suffered mentally-debilitating nightmares; he'd always wake up frightened and exhausted. However, he capitalized on his own cowardice and wrote novels that led to lucrative movie deals. Now, he's a resounding success. De moral ov de sermon? Push past your fear this year, whatever it may be, and claim de benefits ov a fearless life. Have a great day!

Hi, Sunshine! Good ta hear from yu! Yeah, yu see what ah mean: this is de year ov no fear! (Hopefully, ah can do that statement justice fe '05.)
Kiss kiss, Scratchie. You said it in a nutshell: make the biggest adversity de pivotal opportunity. Ah like de way yu turn a phrase (like that time when yu said mi friend Syri would rather "hear FROM" mi, "than hear ABOUT" mi).
Mad Bull, that's nice--that mi message is reminiscent ov Yammie's. She's crucially coherent, I've found. I'll be tryin' to heed de message mi-self. Even wif de best intentions, it's not an easy message to manifest--but wi aggoh try, nuh true!
