When I was setting the theme a few weeks ago I was realising how little patience I can have with those nearest to me. It is frustrating that in some areas of my life I can be very `on top' of things, yet in others seem to lack SELF CONTROL. This is serious, as one of the fruits of the spirit - the outworking of LOVE - is SELF CONTROL.
So as I have been meditating on this theme I've been thinking about what helps me control my reactions when under preassure, my tongue and my body. Ultimately a closer walk with the Lord and a life led by LOVE and HOPE in Christ will help me be more SELF CONTROLLED.
As always I am humbled that I alone can not achieve this. It is only because of what Jesus did for me on the cross and the righteousness HE gives that enables me to even start on the road of renewal.
Thank you for reading, please enjoy the contributions of the rest of the SALT team, and lookout for information about become a Salt team member after the pictures.

Become a SALTine!
SALT is a faith-based challenge blog comprised of a diverse group of
card makers, scrappers and altered art fans from across the world who
have been brought together through our love of Jesus Christ and our
desire to express our faith in creative ways. We're currently
looking for like-minded designers to join our team!
Although our backgrounds and denominations are different, as a group
we hold to the following doctrines:
1) Faith in one God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)
2) That the Bible, comprised of the Old and New Testaments, is the
supreme authority for the faith and conduct of God's people
3) The essential deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless
life, His substitutionary death, and His physical resurrection
4) That through Christ's work on the cross, the forgiveness of sins,
reconciliation to God, and eternal life is offered to all
5) That God commands all people to repent and to believe the gospel
Our goal on the SALT blog is to proclaim the good news of Christ to
the lost and to encourage believers to know Jesus more clearly; love
him more dearly; and follow him more nearly, each and every day. If
you are a crafting Christian, who agrees with the above doctrinal
statements, and would like to be considered for the design team,
please submit three digital photos (please be sure the files are
small enough to be emailed) of your work, any medium is fine, along
with your name, location, blog address, and a brief bio and personal
testimony of faith to Kim Schofield at ksdm@comcast. net by February
15, 2009. (This date OK??)
Design team responsibilities:
1. Term – At this time we do not have a beginning and end time for
the team. The current team has been in place for over a year. The
understanding is that you would sign up for as long as you are able
to effectively participate in the challenges. You will be free to
leave the team at any time.
2. Format – Based on a rotating schedule, design team members will
take turns posting a challenge (for example, "hope" or "God is good")
to the team via our Yahoo message board. The entire team will then
create projects based upon that topic.
3. Design work – You should be able to complete a card, scrapbook
page, or altered project once every other week. You will also be
required to write a short blurb about your topic and provide
supporting scripture text.
4. Blog – Familiarity with Blogger is a plus as you'll need to be
able to format and post your work and blurb independently.
Our friendships developed through the SALT blog have been a
tremendous blessing and we look forward to getting to know you and
reviewing your work and application. Please browse through our
design team's work on the SALT blog and forward any questions you may
have to Kim Schofield at ksdm@comcast. net.

Ruth! The design team thing is tempting....
Self Control, how appropriate for January when everybody is thinking about what they can do to improve this year. I'm going to work on something and get back to you.
Great theme for me! Here's mine: http://encouragingimpressions.blogspot.com/2009/01/salt-challenge.html
Completed mine, which you can find at http://faithscrappersuk.blogspot.com
Thanks for a great challenge - my first on Salt, but I'm sure it won't be my last!
