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!

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.
