Sinless or repentant sinner?

Though you probe my heart and examine me at night, though you test me, you will find nothing; I have resolved that my mouth will not sin. The Holy Bible, A Prayer of David, Book of Psalm, chapter 17 verse 3

I think *we* (those who are believers in God and those who want to mock believers of God - so pretty much everyone) make a mistake with the last part of this quote.  I think we think that to claim that God will find nothing and our resolution is to not sin that it, and David, means "sinless".  I'm pretty sure it doesn't.  Here's what I do think it means; I think it means that we should be sensitive to sin so that the moment we fall into it (and we ALL fall into it, none of us are exempt from sin) - through word or action - we are quick to repent.  I think it means that we invite the probing of God in our lives and we are quick to repent for what surfaces when he probes.  It doesn't mean that we are sinless, it doesn't mean that David thought he was sinless.  When non-believers mock believers and try to accuse us of believing we are perfect it is a weak argument at best.  We don't think that and those who might think that don't have very many people, if any, that would back them on their claims.  Listen.  I sin.  I do.  But I am usually pretty quick to catch it.  And in part because I have invited God to examine me, not just at night but all the time!  And he does.  He is quick to point out when I have sinned and how I need to make it right.  And until I make it right I am pretty unhappy.  So because I am pretty good about allowing his examination to bring repentance I can say that I am resolved to not sin.  I can say that I hope nothing sinful is found in me when I am examined because if I've repented then I'm clean (for the moment anyway!).  
What about you?  How have you thought about this particular quote before?  (There are a few others like it and I would use the same thoughts with those as well)  Are you open to seeing this in a different way than you have before or may have heard it taught before?  Or has this been your view on it as well?

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.

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 ...
