Jesus Name Above All Names

As far as I can tell I haven't done this hymn yet and I'm shocked. It's one of the classics. One of the BEST. I love this hymn. I mean LOVE IT.
Jesus. His name causes more controversy; His name causes more relief; His name causes more assurance; His name causes more discomfort than any other name. People have emotional and physical responses to the name of Jesus. No matter the response you can see that his name, it is above all other names. Nobody else has their name spoken so often and with such a great response.
What is YOUR response to the name? When you hear "Jesus" what kind of emotions rise up in you? What kind of physical response do you have? If your responses lean toward the negative I'm so sorry.
I respond with freedom to the name of Jesus. I love his name because of what it represents to me and my life. His name has compelled me to look to God and I have found freedom in Christ. I am grateful for what Jesus did for me to find that freedom. In my life, his name is above all others. I speak it with respect, awe, humility, and gratitude.
JESUS!

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 ...

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.

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.
