No Salt?

So. Apparently this area of the country where I live now-DC :) I just love saying that! Doesn't understand the concept of pre-salting the roads. Where I come from the minute there is snow in the forecast, and by that I mean 5hours later, the big snow plows are going up and down the roads dumping salt all over creation. Not here. Apparently they don't even budget for it!
Imagine my surprise when I learned this on the Metro this morning! Then after I get home from work I see one lonely little snow truck. And I'm thinking...why are you out you don't have any salt!?

Poor snow truck man, you can't take any preventative measures-you just have to wait for the bad stuff to come.
So, if we are the salt of the earth does this mean we can take preventative measures to save people from becoming stuck in the snow?

Today I met a new interpreter and in the course of our 30 minute discussion she was using some what I'll call "common curse words". Not that they're common for me, but you usually hear them in casual conversation. All of a sudden she stops and says "Oh, I'm sorry, I should probably stop saying that".
I hadn't said anything to her. Not one word. But was the preventative salt that I have in my life rubbing off on her? I'd like to think so. I'd like to think that people like me, but can't quite figure out why I'm so different. I like those moments in life where I can say, here's some salt...you might need it. And if you decided that you do, I'm here to talk.

Jesus shines through us everyday if we'd only let Him. So tomorrow while you're thinking of that lonely snow truck with no salt, let your life be salty enough to rub off on someone else.
