I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

Ah. U2. Bono. Controversy! It's because people interpret the songs in so many different ways and say their way is right. Regardless of what you or I may actually think or feel about Bono and U2 I will say that on the whole issue of poverty, human rights, and fighting for the "least of these" he is AWESOME. I don't know where he stands with Jesus personally but his life sure looks an awful lot like the hands and feet of Jesus. I take Bono at face value and I take U2's songs at face value. I remember when this one came out and oh the debates and discussions about the meaning of it! Cracks me up. So. What does this song mean? Are Bono and U2 looking for Christ? Are they actually saying they can't find him? GASP. I don't know. All I know is that I have observed Bono in the past years living out his convictions and beliefs. I say let them speak for themselves. And if at one point he and U2 were seeking and not finding who knows? Perhaps they have found it by now, after all this song was a looooooooooooong time ago! :)
If someone observed you would they say that you live out your convictions and beliefs? Would people say that you seem to be seeking and not finding? All I know is this, if you are seeking God he can be found. Want to know how? Contact me, I'd be happy to talk with you about it!

The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what. One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education. Why shoes? Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement. However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term. We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well. I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...

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.

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here . Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
