Your Love Is A Song

I don't think I have featured Switchfoot yet on the experiment! That's just CRAZY! :) Switchfoot is one of those bands that have songs sitting in all sorts of "camps". You can catch them in movie soundtracks, TV shows, radio play, etc. I really like Switchfoot, they have a great sound and their lyrical content in always meaningful.
Let there be no question about Switchfoot and their music - it is about God. They are strong believers and their lyrics support that. Some people want to take todays' song, for example, and say it isn't about God but IT IS. The Creator of Love is who Switchfoot is singing about here. So let's talk about it for a second. God's love is like a melodious song that weaves itself throughout my days and my life. It uplifts me and becomes the "background" music for all I am and all I do. I hope that the same can be said of you. I hope that you too can see and know God's love in your life because it's available to you. Let his love be your song today and each day!

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.

Life according to van Gogh...sort of

There are two ways of thinking about painting, how not to do it and how to do it; how to do it -- with much drawing and little color; how not to do it -- with much color and little drawing. Vincent van Gogh in a l etter to Theo van Gogh, April 1882 Life is a little bit like today's quote from van Gogh. Some of us live life focusing on the drawing - the details - and have very little color. Others of us go for the color and forsake, to a degree, the drawing - the details. Unlike painting, according to van Gogh, one is not wrong over the other but somewhere in between the two would be the best I would think. If you look at some of van Gogh's paintings I feel like you can see where he might have struggled between the "how to do it" and the " how not to do it" (as he admittedly loved color so much but knew he had to focus more on the drawing) and that seems to be reflected in his life as well. In the end he wasn't able to find the ...
