My Saltiness 
Recently I made some soup that definitely needed more salt, but I ended up putting too much in which made it worse. It reminded me of the Bible verses in Matthew 5 that say we are the salt of the earth and I was challenged to consider my "saltiness." Salt is a catalyst and a catalyst promotes change. What am I doing to make a positive change?  Second, change can also cause adversity. But in adversity is where our strength or "flavor" is developed. Third, since Jesus challenged me to be salt, can I use my vocation to change lives through service? After all, we are the salt that was made to promote change. ~ Debbie Muthersbaugh, PhD, Dean

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything." ~ Matthew 5:13
