This story has come back around to me and I am confounded in a way about it. We are commanded to be salt and light for the people of the earth, because both are good and necessary things, so why was Lot's wife turned into a pillar of something good for doing something bad? I appreciated the explanation about her becoming the pillar for her distain for salt and for using Lot's need of more to gossip about their visitors, but the idea of using something good to point to something bad is strange to me. In Christ, Andrew
