#SheSunday



I did NOT make up this scripture. It's right there - in the book that some say is belittling and degrading to women. Throughout the Holy Bible the value of woman is elevated and defended. Dig into the history and the actual context of the passages that seem a little blurry and you will quickly discover the affection and purpose God has for women. 

The Lord tasks the women with proclaiming the word he speaks - trust me, this is HUGE. God is commissioning women to be his mouthpiece. 

The complaints about God's view on women extend to the Apostle Paul's attitude toward women. And just as God is misunderstood, so is Paul. After all, he credits learning about God and relationship with God to women. In fact, contrary to popular misunderstanding Paul was actually a champion of women.






So today #SheSunday really is all about the she's. The place of honor they hold in the sight of God and the importance they add to the function of this world.

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.
