Color...or Colour :)

Benjamin Dunn loves Jesus.  And so he sings about it.  He's not mainstream.  I have no idea why.  I have no idea why artists like Dunn, Gungor, Fraser, etc aren't "mainstream".  It's like the radio stations (Christian ones) are "afraid" of them.  Whatev. 
I love me a good B&W photo, I love me a good color photo, and I really love me those photos that get touched up and are a mix of B&W and color.  I think my life with Christ is the mix of B&W and color.  I started off B&W but the more he and I walk together, the more I receive healing from him, the more I become who he created me to be the more color I gain.  So I'm a mix! ;) Someday, when he calls me home, I'll be full on color but until then I'm a mix.  You know what?  You are too.  But your levels of B&W and color depend on where you are at in your journey with him.  The point is that without Jesus we are B&W, he is the color...or colour :)...in our lives.  We might be content with the box of crayons that have 8 colors but if presented with the box that has 120 we are going to take that!  Same with life in Christ.  We could be content (although truthfully I would argue that in a different blog!) with just saying we know him (8 crayons) or we can allow him to heal us and change us and transform us because of his great love for us (120 crayons).  The choice is ours to make. 
How much color...or colour :)...do you want in your life?

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.
