Meditate.
In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. John 1:1-5

Friday’s Feasting at the King’s Table
We can’t live on bread alone. Jesus said…"You are the salt
of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it
salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. " Matthew
5:13.
Consider all the different salts on the market today. Not just table salt, pickling salt, Kosher salt, ionized salt, and the pink Himalayan salt. There are Celtic salts, Hawaiian black salt and Hawaiian red salt, Fleur de Sel, Smoked Salt, Flaked Salt and black Himalayan salt to name a few. Over the past few years I’ve wanted to learn more about different salts. So here’s just a little of what I’ve gleaned.
· Not all salt is created equal. Table salt is so processed that
only sodium chloride, additional anti-caking agents and sometimes iodine are
found in that finely ground salt that is commonly used in baking and at the
table. Table salt is not particularly healthy.
· Salt comes from mining earth deposits (old sea) and from
evaporation of the sea.
· Salts can be fine, coarse, or flaked. Each has a distinctive use
such as for the table, baking, roasting meats, or finishing vegetables and
salads.
· Kosher salt is a coarse salt that is additive free. Once used in
the production of kosher foods, it is now the most used salt. It may seem to
taste less salty than sea salt but that is due to the size of the crystals of
salt.
· Sea salt is the strongest tasting salt and has many natural
trace elements that are good for our bodies. It can be either fine or coarse.
· Pink salt is Himalayan salt that is
considered to be the very purist, hand-mined salt. It is a salt that was
crystallized millions of years ago and is now found naturally, deep within the
pristine Himalayan Mountains, protected from modern-day pollution.
· Dead Sea Salt is harvested at the southern end of the Dead Sea
in Israel where the mineral content is the highest.
· Other Sea Salts are from Spain, France, Italy, Hawaii, Bali,
Bolivia, El Salvador (Mayan) and New Zealand. They are named for their
characteristics, like Sel Gris – a French mineral rich gray salt; and Gros
Sel—a large salt used in a grinder or to create a salt crust on meat or
fish. Fleur de sel, which means "flower of salt" in
French, is actually scraped from the salt crystals on salt evaporation ponds.
· Seasoned salts from many parts of the world contains other
spices and additives to create additional flavors. Your imagination is the
limiting factor when it comes to flavored salts.
So as you gather around the Lord’s Table, add some tasty sea salt to any of your dishes and reap the benefits of trace elements.
