Staying Salty

"You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men." - Bible

Not every phrase attributed to Jesus Christ speaks of God, heaven or hell -- and these are just as interesting on their own.

Salt has a consistent taste that adds pleasure and nourishment to food. We have elements that add the same to life -- our smile, our laugh, our ability to help. Would we buy salt if it were merely possible that it would have flavor? Would we spend much time with people who regularly provide dullness, or worse? Only the dead are incapable of adding that spice to life. We can choose not to be like those under foot too soon!
