It’s not so much what you don’t agree on but rather on what you o agree on. That’s what brings two people together.

Apart from The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage, nothing is sweeter
than an Apple Fritter. Whether I pay for the sugar or it comes free 
doesn't really matter to me. Honestly, I don't eat Apple fritters every 
day. I am very disciplined when it comes to my diet. I can't explain my 
frequency for obvious reasons. 

Once in a while, I have this inward yearning for an Apple Fritter. If I
haven't had one in some time, I begin thinking about it and am famished 
for one. 

Controlling my diet at my age is very important. I'm not as young or
skinny as I once was. I understand that and realize I cannot eat like I 
am 18. But sometimes, I need to enjoy something that will nourish my 
current enthusiasm. Several things come to my mind, but the first thing 
is an Apple Fritter. 

I'm not sure who invented the Apple Fritter, but I'd like to meet them
someday, shake their hand, and thank them. 

The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I will celebrate our 54th
wedding anniversary this August. Amazingly, we've been together this 
long, and our only disagreement during that time has been the Apple 
Fritters/broccoli controversy. That's a remarkable accomplishment, 
especially in the day we live. 

So, if I gave up Apple Fritters, we would have no disagreements. What
kind of life would that be? 

While thinking about this a favorite verse of Scripture came to mind.
“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3) 

It's not so much what you don't agree on but rather on what you do agree
on. That's what brings two people together.
