I am considering starting a Long-term Residential Rehabilitation and Treatment Center for veterans here in town. I feel veterans have special needs that are left unmet by traditional rehab centers. A business professor from Marshall University has agreed to meet with me and discuss the possibility of starting a rehab that meets those needs. The meeting is at 2:00 PM today. ![]() ![]() Right after the beatitudes, Jesus says we are the salt of the earth. What does it mean to be the salt of the earth?"

We should be noticeably different from the world for Jesus should shine through us. Our focus should be very different from that of the world. Our focus should be on God and others. We should never seem self-centered. This focus makes us odd to the world. ![]() ![]()
