Tell Me The Old, Old Story

My husband is old.  (Oh, this has not a whole lot to do with this hymn...)  He heard me pull up this song on YouTube and without looking to see who the artist was he exclaims, "Is that Tennessee Ernie Ford?!?"  I just looked at him.  He was right and oh my, he is old!  AHAHAHAHAHAHA! He knew it because Mr. Ford was apparently all his grandparents ever listened to.  :) 

So anyway...

Tell me of the love of God, tell me of his wonders, tell me of what he's done for mankind, tell me how he has brought redemption to me.  That is the old, old story but yet a story that never grows old and brings new life to all who hear it and receive it.  It's a beautiful story and timeless.  I pray you would hear it and receive it for yourself. 

Happy Sunday!

    Greetings from Wordwise Hymns. You certainly caught my attention with your first sentence--being somewhat "old," myself. but it was your reference to Katherin Hankey's fine gospel song that brought me to your site. I posted a blog on it myself this morning.

    I've just come from a blog on which a young man wrote, "Don't tell me the old, old story. Tell me the truth." It reminded me that truth does not have a "Best Before" date. And the truth of salvation in Christ is as true today as when the apostles proclaimed it, nearly 2,000 years ago. God bless.

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.
