Chocolate Chip Cookies and Christian witness

NPR's Talk of the Nation did a bit on chocolate chip cookies today. The discussion was helpful and my wife and I are already employing some of what we learned.

The guest talked some about the wonders of salt. Salt, she said, suppresses bitterness and enhances sweetness. Salt has a way of squelching what is distasteful and strengthening what tastes right. You've probably heard that Christians, as "salt," are to be both preservers of the world and those that add zest to it. Well, add this one: as salt, we should also be a suppressor of what is bitter and distasteful and an enhancer of what is sweet and savory.

In addition to a good discussion on cookies, you will see a fine number by Cookie Monster.
