Upside Down, Here’s Some Help

I guess that a blog is a good place to confess and admit, this morning I am doing both. Because of pressure from the outside world and an energetic curiosity, I entered the upside down side of life and bought two “Topsy Turvey” upside down tomato growers. I watched those info commercials of bushes of sweet red tomatoes and how that any idiot (that’s me) could grow tomatoes in this contraption.
Now, some things are made to be upside down. Old bats sleep upside down in caves or at least that’s what a recently divorced buddy of mind said about his ex! Icicles hang upside down and one of the world’s best deserts is an upside down cake, so there you go. But, are tomatoes really suppose to be upside down? If we use those tomatoes to make sauce for our spaghetti, do we put the pasta on top of the sauce? When we make those wonderful summer ‘mater sandwiches, do we put the tomatoes on the outside of the bread? And will this thing work in China?
So, where is this crazy blog going? I checked my upside down plants this morning and they are growing and there already are little flowers that will turn into tomatoes. I guess that upside down things can be fruitful. When I was a kid raised on the mill village, I remember a couple of bullies holding me upside down by my heels and banging my head on the sidewalk. When they left, I found a couple of quarters that I had lost, on the ground. They shook them out of Lord knows where, but thanks to them, I went and had a double dip ice cream!
Your life might be upside down right now. You have just had the rug jerked out from under you or you feel yourself slowly loosing grip. This time in your life might just be the most fruitful time in your life. Unanswered questions or unresolved conflicts are filling your mind. Fear walks the halls of your heart and joy and peace stand on the outside looking in through the pains. Let me give you a resource today. Let me help you today.
A friend of mine, Andy Andrews, has written a new book, The Noticer. He is the author of the NY Times Bestselling book, The Traveler’s Gift and this new book is heading straight to the top. It opens with his personal story of coming from living under a pier on the Gulf Coast to being one of the most influential persons in America.  I have just finished the book and I am now in the second reading. It is unbelievable, the wisdom, insight and encouragement that Andy has written into this book. You won’t want to put it down as Andy introduces you to a man named Jones.
Published by Thomas Nelson, it is in any major bookstore, Amazon or buy it off Andy’s web site www.AndyAndrews.com. Get this book, even if you say, “Joey I am not a reader or I don’t have the time”. Get this book and you will gain perspective on your world turned upside down. It’ll change your life. Pro golfing legend Nancy Lopez said about The Noticer, “This is not just one of the best books I have read…This is the best book that I have ever read in my life”.
Now, I’ve got to go water my upside down ‘maters. It sure is hard to get that water to pour up instead of down!! God bless…..get the book!!!! Let me know what you think on my blog comments or drop me an email.
