So we started a new series last week at Bikers Church called The Upside Down Life and with the Cirque du Soleil in town I was really looking forward to this series. Man was I ever disappointed, not at all what I was expecting! Instead of talking about jumps and trapeze artists we are talking about leading an abundant life but without the circus tricks! What a ripoff.
Actually this is going to be an awesome series and I encourage you to listen to the podcast on our website at:

What does it mean lead an Upside Down Life here are the 5 key points:
1. If you want to be first, you must choose to be last.
2. If you want to receive, you must learn how to give.
3. If you want to be strong, you must become weak.
4. If you want to be free, you must submit as a slave.
5. If you want to truly live, you must truly die.
See what I'm saying, not at all what you were expecting is it? It's completely the opposite of what we are used to. In a society of me me me or a society where we compare ourselves to the next person by how much they have vs. what we have, it's really a different way of thinking, acting and living!
You may think it's impossible to do but if you think about it even the smallest act of kindness can touch every one of those categories. It's not only the big things that count it's all the little things that can make a huge difference. Mother Teresa used to say that it's not the great things that you do but the little things you do with greatness! How awesome is that!
So keep your eyes open for opportunities to do little things for people, it's not that hard if you take little bites at a time. You can't help everyone all of the time but you can help someone some of the time.
Talk at you later
