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.

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.

Life according to van Gogh...sort of

There are two ways of thinking about painting, how not to do it and how to do it; how to do it -- with much drawing and little color; how not to do it -- with much color and little drawing.   Vincent van Gogh in a l etter to Theo van Gogh, April 1882 Life is a little bit like today's quote from van Gogh.  Some of us live life focusing on the drawing - the details - and have very little color.  Others of us go for the color and forsake, to a degree, the drawing - the details.  Unlike painting, according to van Gogh, one is not wrong over the other but somewhere in between the two would be the best I would think.  If you look at some of van Gogh's paintings I feel like you can see where he might have struggled between the "how to do it" and the " how not to do it" (as he admittedly loved color so much but knew he had to focus more on the drawing) and that seems to be reflected in his life as well.  In the end he wasn't able to find the ...
