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.

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 ...
