one part of the holiday/winter season that routinely gets under-appreciated is salt. salt on the ice. salt on the ice on the sidewalk. HALLELUJAH for salt on the ice on the sidewalk!
hallelujah, too, for, well, salt. i have approximately 55 dried herbs and spices in my pantry but the seasoning i use the most - by far - is salt. i use salt every day. i do not use spanish smoked paprika every day. the fennel's been sittin' there for awhile, too.
not only do i use salt every day, i use it a lot every day. ever put salt on vanilla ice cream? that, plus a little splash of balsamic vinegar........WOWZA! try it! true story!
but, back to the whole thing about salt on the sidewalk........
salt on the sidewalk keeps us upright and therefore, alive. and in return, what do we do? we stomp all over it.
can't help but draw a parallel to Christ on that.
