O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus

What do you think of the love of Jesus?  Do you think is is something that the weak in mind lean on?  Do you think it is something that empowers you?  Do you think it is for pansies or for the strong?  Have you scoffed at his love?  Have you questioned his love?  Have you embraced his love?  Have you allowed his love to lead you through life? 

As I get older and observe more of people and this world I see the love of God doing one of two things.  Dividing or uniting.  There is no in between.  You cannot straddle the fence between the two.  Not making a decision IS making a decision!  As I age I realize that the ONLY thing I can do is share my genuine experience with God and his love and hope that it softens a hard heart or prompts someone to consider it. 

The short story of my experience with God's love is this:  I am weak and his love makes me strong, I do not understand the depth and breadth of God's love but I don't let that stop me from embracing it, and every day I see that without his love guiding me in thought, action, and word I am not worth being around.  :)  Now I bet all of you, even if you may question God's love, are glad I let it lead my life!  It makes me a much nicer person to be around...promise! 

Not sure about God's love?  I'd love to share my experience with you!

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

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.
