Marty wrote something profound last weekend. (Yeah, dude, you now have me on record saying that. :~)
He wrote, “If a person is forfeiting their humanity to appease someone else, then there is no way a person can actually enjoy that. It has to break down the body and mind at some point.”
Forfeiting your humanity to appease someone. Those are exactly the right words to describe it. And I believe that in those situations, we are ultimately forfeiting our humanity to the devil.

The distance is far enough so that, to them, it is like taking a vacation to come to our house. All three children are gifted intellectually beyond their years, and in other areas, as well. To them, the world is one huge science lab, and they are constantly learning about things such as insects, reptiles, birds, geology, and botany.
