Quote of the Week
“Christ said, ‘You are the salt of the earth.’ But salt does not exist for itself. When is the last time you went to someone’s home 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 it destiny. We were made to count. We were made to be salt. But the quest for significance is a delicate dance. If I do it by myself for myself, it’s death. If I do it with God for others, it’s life, because whatever I do with God for others does not go back in the box.”
Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus by Ann Spangler and Lois Tverberg
The man nodded, turned his wheel and killed the engine. Needless to say, the man from North Dakota was arrested and is probably still shaking his head over the state trooper in Montana who could run 50 MPH.
Who says trooper’s don’t have a sense of humor?
