To thine own heart be true. When we try to please everyone, we end up failing to please ourselves, just as a "jack of all trades is a jack of none." You cannot please everyone, please the Lord and all else will follow.

Here is a similar example. I attended this church where every Sunday I would bring a case of fruit for the parish. One day I brought a beautiful case of tomatoes. While sitting in the pew, one of the pastors came and thanked me and while we struck up a conversation before the sermon, an individual sitting directly across the aisle from me--who was not in the conversation-- blurted out: "I hate tomatoes." I no longer go to that church.

To: Fungi
Good evening, Fungi, and a Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours.

Thank you for your kindness to your congregation. There are those who live to be contrary. They must lead miserable lives.

You cannot please everyone, please the Lord and all else will follow.

Tis true.
