This day is about conflict. I have written before about my besetting sin. Perhaps I did not also tell you that I try to avoid conflict by giving in on anything that is not important. I know for some people everything is important, but not for me. If you want to go to the store and I want to go to the museum, we’ll go to the store. (Which might explain why I never get to the museum.)

I certainly don’t want to write about conflict here.

I will say that my parents did not deal well with conflict when I was young and they don’t deal well with it now. Despite that, my parents have a strong marriage.
