A little Salt and a little LightWritten by Terry Dashner
A little Salt and a little LightTerry Dashner The Bible says that you are light and salt of world. I find it interesting that it uses these two metaphors. Why do I say that? For one, just a pinch of salt goes a long way. It takes just a little to enrich taste of food. Without it, food is too bland. With too much, it ruins taste. A little salt is just right. Stop and think about this. You are one person against world. By your own strength and might world can be overwhelming to you. But, with strength of Christ in you, you become like salt to world. You and your faith in Christ are just enough to change world for better. The Bible says that faith as small as a mustard seed is all you need to move aside mountains in your life. In regards to light, consider this. An aged and prosperous businessman worried about who would carry on after his death. His only relatives were three young nephews. So he called them in and said that one of them would be his successor. “But I have a problem. And one who solves it shall inherit my business,” he said. “I have here a large room, which I want to fill as soon as possible. Here is a small coin for each of you. Go now, but return at sunset, and see what you can buy with this coin to fill room.”

‘ECCE HOMO, ECCUMENICO EST’: Creative impulses seem much more Than what humans seek to store If we see where it comes from Will it make our minds succumb? To things perceived, not understood To put it simply – just be good Trite expressions, clichéd nomenclature Jargon, ‘New Age’, anaphoristic vernacular Perhaps better than past priesthood We must vigilantly live with ‘Brotherhood’. No one is better deep within Enable everyone to chin UP! Way up! Feel heavens creative sway Do not focus on one day Bring men past mediocrity Allow all women to be free.
