"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, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." - Matthew 5: 13-16

When God wants to make our character into His own, He gives us stories.

When God wants to impress us, He displays His power in a roaring waterfall or white lightning streaking through the midnight sky.

When God wants our attention, He allows pain and suffering to touch our mortalframe.

As C.S. Lewis said, "Pain is God's megaphone" to summon us.

But when God wants to woo us and make Himself known to us, in the most intimate way possible, He gives us stories. Stories to capture our fancy. Stories that make us laugh and cry. Stories which make His presence deep and rich in our souls. Yes, when God wants to make our character into His own, He gives us stories.

In this Salt and Light collection of essays, stories, and poems, you will experience and behold the divine in the world around you.
