#SundaySchool


Today's #SundaySchool teacher is Anne Lamott. Anne is an author that came to Jesus at some of the lowest points in her life. I was introduced to her through a bestie and the book, Bird by Bird, which is about writing. I then went on to read every non-fiction book Anne has ever written. (I tried her fiction, I wasn't a fan.) I really adore Anne Lamott, she has helped me think through matters of faith in new and challenging ways.

Today I have included a couple of different talks given by Anne. The first, and longest, one is a radio broadcast - nothing to watch even though it is hosted on YouTube. The others are short clips from a Super Soul Sunday Anne spent with Oprah a while back. I hope you will watch/listen to Anne and what she shares about faith and prayer will have an impact on your soul today.

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.

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.
