Yeehaw! *does handsprings* No laughing at the image of Susan (a) doing handsprings, (b) in a skirt, (c) without breaking a bone.
Guess what's special about today :-D.

Nothing in my hand I bring. . . simply to Thy cross I cling.
Dirty Hands
In my lap, still and silent
Dirty hands, a sinner's grasp;
Will I leave them there, defying,
As you call me to my task?
At my side, busy, flying,
Able hands used for good work;
In my mind, pride overtaking,
Duties now I never shirk.
Lips do tremble, eyes are opened,
Glancing at my sin-marred hands;
Much like Uzzah's fatal choice,
Did I forget the filth of man?
Glancing up I see before me
Blood-stained hands, a sinless Ram.
Open arms, He welcomes, calling,
"Come rest in me, my little lamb."
On the plow now, tightly holding,
Tear-stained hands my tasks employ.
Jesus at my side does guide me;
Tears of sorrow turned to tears of joy.
In my lap, still and silent,
Dirty hands, a sinner's clasp:
Folded praying, day's task done.
'Tis God's work in me lights my path.

I know! I know!! *watches Susan do handsprings and laughs and then joins in the celebration*
It's the day before your birthday?
Oh wait, I figured it out... :-)
Ah, yes. I finally figured it out, too. Go get 'em!
In Christ.
Hmmm? Are you sure you figured it out, Adrian? (Ashley e-mailed me, so I know she is right. . . )
Go get 'em! seems to imply one of two things: (1) I have multiple things to pick up or purchase today, or (2) You wish me well in some sort of pursuit that I am engaging in today. Neither is the reason for this post. Perhaps the phrase was meant more loosely or in a third way?
Well, it's the feast day for the patron saint of the Internet, Saint Isidore, among other wiki-gleanings. But there are too many significant happenings for me to choose one as my guess for your exuberation!
I'm rather disappointed that I don't have more avid Narnia fans that read my blog. . . *sigh*
No, no. I meant that I knew Narnia came out today, and "go get'em" was supposed to be an obscure reference to getting the movie so that others might have the option of guessing. But since you have let the cat out of the bag, I guess it's moot. Anyway, I just got it myself, and have been enjoying it.
Incidentally, doing handsprings in a skirt in front of members of the rougher sex might not be the wisest course of action. ;-)
In Christ.
