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.

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.

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.

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.
