What's with the title?

Why did I choose to call my blog "The Salty Socialite?"  Why "salty?" According to urban dictionary, it means that I just got played or looked stupid or maybe I am mad about something. However, according to God's precious word, it is something we should long to be as Christians. In Matthew 5:13, Jesus tells us that Christians should be "the salt of the earth," and, salt that is not salty is no longer good and must be "thrown out and trampled underfoot." But, how do we keep ourselves from being no good? How do we become the "salt of the earth?" By simply being who God has made us to be. God made me loud and outgoing, so I try to be loud and outgoing for Him. Which is why I chose the word "socialite." We have to use the talents He has given us and the personality He has given us to honor and glorify His name, which is what I try to do daily. But, this blog is not just made for me. It's made for the people who want to read it. You do not put one grain of salt on your french fries to flavor them. You put a lot on there. Well, this world needs a lot of salt. It needs people to flavor it with God's love and grace. Although one grain of salt can add some flavor, multiple grains of salt can flavor the entire world and change it completely. To do that, we are all going to need encouragement, which is what I hope to provide with this blog. I hope whoever reads it, whether they read one sentence, a whole post, or even every post, will get something from this through the words God will give me to share. In turn, I hope that we can help to keep each other salty so that we can flavor the entire world.
