This is "my" mountain, I feel really fortunate to live near a beautiful mountain that serves as inspiration for me pretty much every day. I try to take notice of this mountain that sits outside my 'front door' daily. It never fails to make me think of this psalm, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains - where does my help come from?"
The answer?  My help comes from the One who made this and all other mountains!  Selah! (pause and think on that)

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
