Today Is The Day

My friend Gary loves Lincoln Brewster like I love Steven Curtis Chapman.  Really.  And it's easy to see why, Lincoln plays an amazing guitar and writes great lyrics - just like Steven.  In fact, if they did a song together that would be UHMAZING.  :)  The difference between the two is that Brewster is like Chris Tomlin in terms of song content - mostly or all worship, which is great - and Chapman is more a "storyteller" and while his songs can be ones of worship you won't hear any church singing them on a Sunday morning.  :)  Anywho...
Lincoln Brewster is a great artist and has a great heart for God.  You can tell by how he plays and sings. Some people aren't that good of actors.  :)  I really appreciate his music and I can't believe it took me until day 315 to get one of his songs on the experiment!  Gary probably can't believe it either - ha! 
I chose this song by Brewster for today for a couple of reasons.  1) I really like it and since it's my blog...and 2)  it uses one of my favorite verses, especially for a Monday - Psalm 118:24, "This is the day the LORD has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!" 
Today, even though it is a Monday, can be THE day for you and for me.  Did you know that?  It can be.  Today can be the day that you and I chose to reach out to God and take his hand and let him lead us through whatever is stalling us, through whatever obstacles stand in our way to victory and freedom, to believe that what God has in store is good and what is the very best for us.  Declare it and stand on it, TODAY IS THE DAY.
Happy Monday!

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.
