My Desire

So Jeremy Camp's deep voice drew me in like Todd Agnew's did EXCEPT Jeremy differs from Todd in that he doesn't have a grainy quality to his voice.  His is as smooth as butter.  Man the deep and smooth voice of Jeremy Camp gets me every time. 
The first song I heard of Camp's was "Restored" and it was penned out of his testimony.  Jeremy married the love of his life and shortly after their marriage she died from cancer.  So he became a widow at a very young age.  And subsequently had to walk through some stuff with God because of his heartbreak.  A few years down the road he met a woman, another artist, named Adie and now they have at least a couple of kids together.  :)  God restores. 
Camp is down to earth and I appreciate that more than anything.  His songs reflect his desire to know God in deep and personal and real ways.  I REALLY appreciate that!
My Desire is about desiring to die to self and take up the cross of Christ.  It's about desiring to live out purpose.  Don't we all desire to have purpose and to have the opportunities to live that purpose out?  The desire for purpose, the mission of that purpose, the actual living out of that purpose all comes from one source. God.

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.
