The New Circus

Going to the circus sure isn't the old event it used to be. When entering the big top granted you a seat in the stands to wonder at dancing horses, standing elephants, and of course, clowns.

Now, with amazing troupes like Cirque du Soleil, we're pulled into a world of wonder, romance, and childhood daydreams. You're dazzled by the light and fog effects, as the performers fly across the stage on hydraulic lines to the tune of a full operatic rock band. Performers, that's exactly what they are; Every one of them is not merely a circus act, but a dancer, singer, and actor as well.

As someone working in the arts industry, I am amazed and encouraged by their unashamed creativity, by their determination and devotion, by their heart, and by their love for excellence in everything they do.

You followers of Jesus should be examples of those qualities, and many more. Strive in all you do.
