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!

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.
