Crazy Love

Quick, what's the craziest show of love you have ever received? 
Guess what?  If you didn't say Jesus taking on your sins and paying the price for them then your answer pales next to that crazy show of love!  It's INSANE that someone would willingly say, "I'll take it" and then actually take it! 
And what's more insane is as you get that, as you become okay with it, as your pride allows it then you get all crazy too.  The more of God's crazy love we allow in our own lives the more we begin to extend crazy love to others.  The more we want others to know that they are loved in crazy ways!  
Some report came out a few years back.  Some company had done research into who were the first and most consistent responders to natural disasters and traumatic world events.  They found that those who considered themselves evangelical Christians were among the most generous, most dedicated, and most present both short term and long term.  The explanation?  Crazy love.  :)

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.
