You Salty Dawg, You!

“You are the salt of the earth.” Matthew 5:13 NIV     NaCl   Sodium Chloride.   Good ‘ol,…salt.   A mineral found in the earth, found in the atmosphere, and found in our bodies.   The perfect compound that literally sustains our planet and our lives.

Apple Pickin’

“Thus by their fruit you will recognize them.” Matthew 7:20 NIV       Apples have gotten a bad rap…biblically speaking, that is.   THE very first sin had to do with an apple. Well, not really an apple, in fact the actual type of fruit is unknown, but somehow the “forbidden fruit” that ol’ […]
