Came To My Rescue

Sometimes there's just a song (or in my case a song or two or three...) that just...gets me.  Like everything about it gets me - it becomes a verbalization of my heart and life.  And no matter how old it is it is still a song I gravitate toward, it never becomes old to my heart.  This is one of those songs. 
He has rescued me.  What from you ask (knowing that I have led kind of a sheltered life)?  From myself! None of us are hidden from ourselves.  I am, in my human nature, selfish, cynical, doubtful, lazy, lacking grace and mercy, well I think you get the picture.  So do I need rescuing?  You bet! And anyone who interacts with me at all will agree I need rescuing! :) I'm pretty sure any of you would much rather be on the receiving end of my nature indwelt by God rather than the human one I just described.  It's just a guess...
He has rescued me.  What from you ask?  From hurts and wounds. Because by HIS wounds I am healed.  (You are too btw)
He has rescued me in a thousand ways.  He's rescued you too, some of you know and see it, some of you are unaware.  My prayer is that you would become aware.

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.
