Sermon reflecting on the "salt of the earth" and what that means:
Where do we encounter the kind of salt that Jesus is talking about, that salt of welcome and friendship and life? Where do you know salt in your own life? Maybe it was the whiff of salt in the air along New York's East River Thursday morning, as the tide pushed in from the sea, but what I thought of first was the salt within us. The taste of salt in the tears my eyes were making in the cold wind, but also the taste of salt in blood and sweat. And the connection with the sea isn't trivial - sea water has a lot to do with the composition of the blood in our veins. The salt within us is indeed about life, for it reflects our evolutionary history, and our origins in a salty sea.
