Imagine Me

1)  Not a huge fan of Kirk Franklin
2)  Not a huge fan of this video
3)  That being said...I LOVE THIS SONG!

In Spring of 2007 I needed to hear this song, the message of it.  It wasn't what my Mama and Daddy did or didn't do, it was others.  I was preparing to pack a suitcase and get on a plane bound for Kenya, Africa and I was struggling with the lies that people I had previously trusted had fed into me.  Those lies were heavy baggage that I couldn't afford to take to Africa with me.  I also couldn't afford to keep carrying them throughout my life and in my days.  Our Worship Director at the time played this song and I connected with it instantly.  It was a huge help in getting me to let go of lies and imagine me as God created me.  Imagine me - free and living the life God meant for me to live.  Imagine YOU - free and living the life God meant for you to live.

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.

Life according to van Gogh...sort of

There are two ways of thinking about painting, how not to do it and how to do it; how to do it -- with much drawing and little color; how not to do it -- with much color and little drawing.   Vincent van Gogh in a l etter to Theo van Gogh, April 1882 Life is a little bit like today's quote from van Gogh.  Some of us live life focusing on the drawing - the details - and have very little color.  Others of us go for the color and forsake, to a degree, the drawing - the details.  Unlike painting, according to van Gogh, one is not wrong over the other but somewhere in between the two would be the best I would think.  If you look at some of van Gogh's paintings I feel like you can see where he might have struggled between the "how to do it" and the " how not to do it" (as he admittedly loved color so much but knew he had to focus more on the drawing) and that seems to be reflected in his life as well.  In the end he wasn't able to find the ...
