“Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.”
Colossians 4:5-6 NASB

Last night I cut a thirteen pound brisket into two pieces, and ad libbed a dry rub and a braising liquid. After fourteen hours at 200 degrees I pulled them out and tasted. The dry rubbed was a little sweet, the braised...well something wasn't right. I'd thrown a couple tablespoons of whiskey in and it didn't taste very good. Then I realized it needed salt. It chagnged the whole flavor! It was so good!
Grace is like that. It's indispensable, but often overlooked. It can change a whole conversation. It's easy to acquire, too. Just think where'd you be without Jesus. Now, if you think you e done it all pretty well by yourself, or if you've pulled yourself up by your bootstraps, that's what you will communicate.
Why can't you do it? Why can't you figure it out? Just do it. See? That's just no fun. Graceless. 😆😉
Add some salt. You'll taste much better. 😁😘😘😘😉
