Peanut butter and jelly. Eggs and bacon. April showers and May flowers. Eric Clapton and his guitar. Brandon and Minnesota. All things that go together, yet were apart at some point.
Lately I’ve been wondering why certain things are brought together in this world – why God places things together. I guess it just makes me wonder. What if God decided to place peanut butter and beef stew together? I’m pretty sure people would be sick if this was a popular pair. Or what if He decided to place Brandon and Iowa together? Then we’d all have far less respect for him now than we ever had. But that’s just it, he didn’t place these things together. He has created these pairs for a specific purpose.
Although I’d love to know why these things are together, I don’t think it is our job to understand God’s thinking. I do however, think it is our job to notice God’s work in our lives – to not question it, but respect and obey His will in our lives.
I thank God that he didn’t put beef and peanut butter together. I thank him that he didn’t place Brandon in Iowa (who wants a relative from Iowa anyway?). I thank Him that he put my friends in my life. But mostly, I just thank Him for this life, for His love, for his will in my life.

I don't hate our cousin, i just hate his state. There's a difference. And digusting to both combinations. Sometimes people should be given the code to the combination because it just leads to puke. All roads lead to puke.
Take for instance asking someone out. Puke. Eating something not in moderation. Puke. Hearing that Brandon lives in Minnesota. Puke.
