Excellent! Ignoring the problem or disagreement sometimes seems the safest choice at first, but the problem always reappears later in a worse argument.

That is so true! Trying to ignore the problem makes things so much worse than they started out. God wants us to forgive and to humble ourselves. A lot of times when I think of forgiveness, I think of when Jesus was on the cross and asked God to forgive us. Then I am reminded how small the things I have to forgive are compared to that. I have had a similar trail mix experience. Our family drove to florida on a trip, and to save snack money we made tons of trail mix. By the third day everyone was sick of it and would rather eat nothing. I don't think I have had any since.

Oh, I am so excited to see that Sarah Mally is writing a few articles on here! I had the pleasure of meeting her a few years ago, and my brothers and I have greatly enjoyed the book that she wrote with her brother and sister. I am very thankful that my parents worked hard at building the relationship my brothers and I have. They are dear friends, but it is nice to be reminded that there is always room for improvement- especially on my part!

That was an excellent post.

Even though I don't have any brothers or sisters at home, this post is very beneificial for my attitude toward my siblings in Christ.

How I relate to other people tends to stem from how I relate to my immediate family, and church family.

I'm looking forward to the next posts. :)

Hi Sarah, really good points! And nice tooth decay analogy, will have to use that in devotions if I may. :)

I'm so glad your family is adding to this wonderful Rebelution blog. I was at a conference in Sioux Falls one year when you and your dad did the talk on Knights, Maidens, and Dragons.

God bless!
