More Prayer cards

Here's the proof for my newest edition of prayer cards, based off the scripture reading "you are the salt of the earth".  In biblical times, salt was used in an oven to keep a flame lit; the flame was the catalyst, but the salt kept it burning.  In my religious beliefs, we are taught that Jesus is the flame, and we are to act as the salt, to keep his flame alive. 

I wanted the image of the salt shaker to seem unexpected juxtaposed with the scripture passage.  Seeing an image not normally associated with religion makes one reflect on the deeper meaning of the passage by challenging the viewer to draw parallels between the salt shaker and the passage.

The context for this edition of prayer cards will be a little different than the last edition.  Rather than being a broad, anonymous call to service, they will be targeted to those familiar with the christian faith.  Salt is only effective when used in limited quantities on certain foods, thus I am only distributing these to a select number of people who will make the most of the message; parishioners of my church, friends, family, as well as my alternative spring break group.

I also intend to make a broader, more widely distributed version of this same message, using the same text, but the image of a salt truck rather than a salt shaker, to imply the idea of service and salvation in the context of a cold, snowy Michigan winter.
