Awaken

My friend, Veronica, put Sarah Reeves on my radar.  So glad she did!  When I looked her up on YouTube I randomly picked this particular song (maybe because it's Tuesday but for a lot of us it's "Monday" since yesterday was a holiday and I need to wake up! Haha!) and my youngest and I loved the song AND got a kick out of the video so it quickly became today's song for the day.  :) Oh you thought it was some sort of "scientific" method I used to pick a song each day?  Uh, yeah.  No!  :)
Anywho...
Sarah Reeves is a young, talented singer who has chosen to use her voice to worship the One who gave her the voice in the first place!  And she has red hair, a definite bonus in our home - ha!  But she has a sweet Alabama accent and a love for Jesus.  It's her love for God that makes her shine.  In our home we can think of no better way to thank and worship God than to use the gifts he has given us well and for him.  Sarah Reeves seems to fall into that category as well. 
Awaken is about waking up to the dreams God has planted in us, to awaken out of the dark and into the light that God has for us.  Have you been asleep?  Have you been lulled to sleep by voices of doubt, insecurity, intellectualism?  God wants to wake you up! :)

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.
