Ain't No Mountain High Enough

Marvin Gaye. Oh yeah! Even the amazing Diana Ross can't do this song justice. Marvin is really the only one who can make this song what it is. I LOVE this song. I love how this song seems to bring people together. I love the music behind the lyrics. I love Marvin and Tammi Terrell sound together. I love this song! It never fails to lift my mood if I'm feeling a little low.
It expresses what my heart is for people I love - there is nothing too big to keep me from being there for people I love. And if I can express that sentiment then surely the One who created us all can make good on that promise! See I may have good intentions to never let anything become too big of an obstacle between myself and a person I love but I'm human and those intentions may get thwarted. But God? He can make good on the promise that nothing will ever be too big for him to overcome to get to us. In fact, he's already proven it. Sin is the biggest obstacle there is between us and God and he already stepped over that obstacle, claimed victory over it and conquered it because he loves us that much!
Happy Friday!

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.
