I Saw The Light

This'll get your blood pumping!  David Crowder apparently has a love for bluegrass and is so unique and funky that you can't help but smile and be happy listening/singing.  I figured on a Monday we needed something to get our blood pumping!  :) 
Originally done by Hank Williams it was known back in the day as a camp revival song of sorts.  I love it (doesn't surprise you does it?).  It makes me think of Saul when he was traveling the Damascus road and Jesus met him there, blinded him, and saved him.  He had to become blind in order to see the light.  He got a name change and became one the most most well-respected apostles ever to spread the good news of Jesus.  
All of us need to have our own Damascus road experience with Jesus.  And in figurative, or maybe literal in some cases, ways we all need to be blinded by Jesus in order to see the light.  We might not all get new names for others to hear and know but God names each of us according to what/who he knows we really are.  
Life is a series of progressions.  You progress through something and then God brings something else for you to work through and on.  Each progression opens our eyes to Jesus a little more and blinds us to our flesh a little more.  I think I'm old enough to say that with confidence!  :)   
Thank goodness I saw the light!  Have you?!?  :)

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.
