You Are All I'm After

Coffey Anderson is a virtual unknown right now but I bet his name will gain some recognition in the next few years.  He is incredibly talented vocally and musically.  AND can we please just talk about how cool his name is?!  :)  Coffey?  C'mon, what a great name and his beautiful skin matches his name.  You just have to think he's cool!
Coffey's voice is smooooooooth.  And I downloaded his album and it is an interesting mix of black gospel and contemporary worship.  He did throw in on his album a version, hip hoppish in style, of the classic Father Abraham!  I've included it today as a bonus just because if I get it stuck in my head I need some company! HA! 
Today's song was put on my radar thanks to one of my bestie's, Jodi.  She shot it my way and knows me well.  She knew I would like it.  :) 
Today's song is such a great proclamation of faith in Christ.  A couple of lines in there that are so important when it comes to accepting God and his gift of salvation.  "Your blood is stronger than my sin, your grace is bigger than my failure."  Once we get that and I really mean GET that then we can begin to believe God is real.  God is the only valid solution to any problem, the only true healing for any wound, the only true answer to the questions.  You may not like that, you may disagree with it but it doesn't change God and who he really is.  He does not, should not, can not fit into OUR ideas but rather we must transform to fit to him.  The disbelief of many of the facts about God come from trying to make him fit to us rather than seeing that we must fit to him.  Wow, that was soapbox I didn't intend to pull out.  It's best saved for a different blog so I'll put it back away for now and just hope that you receive joy in listening to today's song and you can also say that God is all you are after, not that you are after to make God conform to your ideas and perspectives but that you are after HIS.  And warning: his will rub you wrong, his will offend you, his will make you a little mad "at him" but his are the narrow path and because he is sovereign.  He truly does know what is best and we may think we do but really we don't.  :)

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. 

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.

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.
