Through It All

Andrae Crouch has written and performed some of the most anointed songs.  His love for God, his dedication to God shines through in his music and the best part is that he gives all credit to God for his gift in music.  He recognizes where the gift comes from. 
I love this hymn because it highlights the life of faith in Christ.  Through it all you have to learn to trust in him.  Thoreau said, “The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness.” We don't have to have massive faith in order to "prove" our trust in God.  The smallest amount is enough for him.  He takes it and multiplies it according to HIS good pleasure.  I think of Mother Teresa who struggled for most of her adult life with God.  But when all was said and done she had held on to the tiniest seed of faith in Christ and look how he has used what I am sure she considered to be insignificant faith.  Through it all she found enough faith to hold on to trust in God.  That is all he asks.  He doesn't ask for large and grandiose displays of faith, just the amount that we can muster.  Through it all he will be faithful.

Have a great Sunday!

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.
