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?

The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what. One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education.  Why shoes? Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...

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. 

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
