Go Light Your World

AH! I just found a new song to put on the soundtrack of my life! Wow. This song is POWERFUL. And it is exactly what God calls us to in his name! I actually blogged about this topic, before hearing this song, the other day. If you are interested in reading that click here. Back to the song. I'm just so blown away by it. I think what blows me away is that is the message God has been teaching me for a few years now and compelling me to share with others. We all have some way that we can light up our worlds. And God doesn't ask us to tackle the world on the whole, just our worlds. The world we come into direct contact with every day. When we impact our personal world and others are impacting theirs it becomes like a domino effect and pretty soon the whole world is affected. I'm really inspired and motivated and moved by the truth contained in this song. See? This is why music is so powerful. It takes a message that we are already processing and drives it home in a way that we can and will remember. I love it!

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.

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.

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.
