For Saturday, May 14: Rediscover You

So this song caught my attention because it's kinda where I've been the past couple of years. Not that my heart is cold toward God but my heart is definitely cold toward "the Church". GASP. Can you believe I just admitted that to the hundreds, er okay 5, of you that read this?!? And if you know me the confession isn't a new thing you've heard come out of my mouth! ;) I love how Starfield just says/sings it like it is. The lack of passion for Christ in the Church is exhausting to me. I'm tired of biblical sayings that flow so easily from the tongues of people but haven't rooted in the hearts of people. I'm tired of worship songs that are all about us and not about God at all (think I'm exaggerating? Examine some of your fave worship songs - are they about us or God? Just sayin'.). That's enough - if I keep going I may be on the soapbox for a while! :)
Anywho...I love the heart that this song conveys. Bring back the fire Lord!

Rediscover You

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.

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.
