What De Piggy took from today's sermon is along de lines ov our New Year's sentiments--holding true, irrespective ov fame or fortune:
Compromise lives within boundaries; it is not boundless exchange. Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage, never thinking that he was giving away his life. Give and take only within the perimeters of your good values, never invalidating yourself. People who truly mean you well will respect your refusals as readily as they accept your agreement. "For what doth it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul?"

True words.But when you not doing what people want you to do they have a way of making you feel guilty.I still trying to get out the mould of pleasing everyone.
Guilt trips awful, Kami, but ah find that guilt-trippers weaken when yu guilt them right back! That really helps out mi marshmallow side.
