Victory in Jesus

Another oldie but goodie from my Baptist church days.  It's amazing to me how a song that I haven't thought about or heard about in years immediately comes back to me, tune and all! 
There is victory in Jesus. If that weren't true then there wouldn't be thousands of testimonies to testify to it.  There is no other explanation for the peace that descends upon a soul that has clung to Jesus in dark moments and emerges into his light.  Sometimes the victory to be experienced is continued life on this earth and other times the victory is to be taken into Heaven and the resting place of God.  Either way, when God ordains it there is victory!

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.
