Salt

After Matthew 5:10-16 

Salt poses a conundrum. 

Too much, and it ruins. 

Too little, and no one notices. 

Left too long, it turns stale, 

losing its flavor, its power, 

its purpose. In that case, 

it’s good for nothing, 

no longer good for anything 

except the ash heap, to be 

thrown out and trampled. 

So choose what kind of salt 

you will be, and learn how 

to be it. It’s a lifetime education.
