Deviled Eggs. Shells In The Yolk - Olivia Valency

"Deviled Eggs, Shells in the Yolk" draws from my heartbreaking experience of being ostracized by my sister, Danielle, because I was considering a divorce. We grew up in a Calvinist church. Danielle is a devout member of a branch of that church. In contrast to her beliefs, I believe all people have free will. Because of that, a few other family members have also ostracized me. As I share some of the group messages I've had with them, you'll see how they display signs of being possessed by a demon. If that isn't the case, their cruelty makes them people we never want in our lives. I'm the black sheep of our family. Because of my differing beliefs, they see me as having lost my marbles - and that I'm no longer playing with a full deck upstairs.

By sharing my personal experiences, I show how they have affected me. Including many Bible verses, I show that there's a better way. Our Heavenly Father's love is incredible, and all He wants from us is our love. Through a thorough analysis of judging and gossiping, I highlight how these behaviors harm relationships and foster discord. Touching on my siblings' religious beliefs, in contrast, I offer a side-by-side perspective. In doing in-depth Bible study, I have developed many views and opinions that differ from those of my family. I believe my marbles are all intact, but you decide. Ultimately, everyone has their own path. I hope we can at least agree that - love is the answer - every time!
