It's seminary graduation and we are sharing our testimonies. Karson Kartchner stands up and talks about being 'tight like unto a dish'. Although it was a crack up at the time, and was something no one ever expected from Karson, it has always rung true for me. 'In the world, but not of the world.' We may be surrounded on all sides by filth and temptations, but we can't let it get to us. I understand now what that means. I have been taught what is good and true, and I will stick to what I know is right. I will not compromise my standards. Not for a friend, not for a cousin, not for anyone or anything. I simply cannot.
