Shovel

I heard this song by Katie Herzig (and therefore was also introduced to her music for the first time) as I watched a video of all these amazing African children and this song was the background.  I love Katie's voice and music.  She really fits in perfectly with all the other artists that I find myself leaning towards in the past couple of years. 
Shovel is about burying the pain, hurt, sorrow of life and finding a new way.  We can't hear the birds chirping or feel the sun shining until we make a choice to bury the dead things of our life and begin to seek things that are living.  And as we bury that which makes us sorrowful we can be assured the the light of God rests on us.  His light is always with us.

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.

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.
