During
the course of my lifetime, I must have made hundreds, if not
thousands of PJ’s. I like different styles of peanut butter and
different kinds of jelly, so I probably have had many different
combinations, but nothing like THIS. This is genius,
pure genius. I must try this as soon as I get some marshmallow. When
I think of combinations, one of the things that comes to mind is the
church. Consider this…
1
Corinthians 12 ( World
English
Bible )
[12] For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the
members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
[13] For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether
Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink
into one Spirit.
[14] For the body is not one member, but many. [15] If the foot would
say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it
is not therefore not part of the body. [16] If the ear would say,
“Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s
not therefore not part of the body. [17] If the whole body were an
eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where
would the smelling be? [18] But now God has set the members, each one
of them, in the body, just as he desired. [19] If they were all one
member, where would the body be? [20] But now they are many members,
but one body. [21] The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need
for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for
you.” [22] No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to
be weaker are necessary. [23] Those parts of the body which we think
to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our
unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety; [24] whereas our
presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body
together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part, [25] that
there should be no division in the body, but that the members should
have the same care for one another. [26] When one member suffers, all
the members suffer with it. Or when one member is honored, all the
members rejoice with it.
Each
individual adds something to the collective body; something unique.
And when we consider that we are members of one another (Romans 12:5,
Ephesians 4:25) and each of us is comprised of body, soul and spirit
(1 Thessalonians 5:23) that is a lot of combinations. Christianity is
complex, just as we are. God truly makes our life interesting,
doesn’t he?
PS.
I just thought of PBJ 3.0. Make this a Double Decker by placing
another slice of bread in the middle. Find two more ingredients that
you like, say two other preserves that would go well with the above
combinations and use one to make an X and the other a cross.
Please tell me, exactly how many combinations is THAT?
