ABOUT THE SALT……Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth." But salt does not exist for itself. When is the last time you went out for a meal and said, "Man, this is great salt. Honey, how come we don't have salt like this at home? We gotta switch brands." Salt's calling is to lose itself in something much bigger and more glorious; and then it fulfills its destiny. Life is to be like that. Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth." -- John Ortberg
