Why write with salt?
When I was a kid my fine motor skills were not so great. Writing with paper and pencil was painful, difficult and embarrassing. The occupational therapists had me practice writing letters in salt. I could use my fingers and not a pencil.It gave my brain a chance to learn what letters should look like. My handwriting is still horrible but computers are my friends :) I had a teacher in 2nd grade tell my mom that I would never have legible handwriting and to get comfortable with the computer. I did.
As I got older salt took on a whole new meaning. This time it referenced Christianity. Christ became the salt and seasoning of my life. Salt cleans and heals wounds, it makes things better, it gives food flavor and it preserves.
My life has not been simple but it has been full of flavor.
