The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. In the earliest days of the church all the way to the present, many believe that if the Lord is really returning for a judgment day, he would have come by now. We tend to think that the early bird always gets the worm and quickest is best. The last one in is so slow they deserve to spoil like a rotten egg or pick cotton.
It seems that history testifies to children from different cultures making fun of the slowest kid. Just as we say something like “last one there’s a rotten egg,” the song playfully teased that the last child to squat had to help their parents pick cotton. Green Sally up, green Sally down Last one squat, gotta tear the ground And they were moving in cadence to the directions of the song as well. It would keep the kids busy while their parents were working. Turns out this version is based on an African-American children’s song that was sang out in the cotton fields. The main lyrics are few and repetitive: Bring Sally up, bring Sally down Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground But I’m a bit of a dork, so I had to find out the story behind the song. I tried the first time today, and made it to the 2 minute mark. Sounds like a good goal to master for the week. I knew when I watched the video that it looked much easier than it was going to be. I like a good challenge, so I looked it up.
But you have to hold the down position until the song says “bring Sally up” again, and visa versa, for the entire song.
And it is killer! When the song says “bring Sally up,” you push up and when it goes “bring Sally down,” you go down. I’ve done scorpions, crow push-ups, grasshopper push-ups, and push-up jacks. Now, I have done some pretty crazy push-ups in my workouts. He asked me if I have seen the “Sally up, Sally down” workout that has been making the rounds online.Īpparently, the challenge is to play the song “Flower” by Moby, and try to complete it doing some torturous push-ups. While I was on the phone with him this weekend, I told him that I’ve been doing the card workout here and there to break up my normal routine. Like my dad, Luke is good at finding or putting together creative workouts. When we were away together over Thanksgiving we did a 20 minute, high intensity workout with a deck of cards. I can always count on my brother to give me a cool, new workout.
