When I blogged last Sunday it was our first of only two Play (performance) days for the Passion Play season. It was the middle of Memorial Day weekend, and there was a large crowd all day to tour the grounds and displays and the audience for the evening was the largest of the season. We worked for the Play, played with the crowd, and had a busy, but fun day. Monday we played. No, not at the Passion Play, but in Branson at a couple of shows, the Acrobats of China and Pierce Arrow, a music/comedy show. It played out as a long, entertaining, but fun day. The past two days we got back to the tasks to ready for a Thursday, Friday, Saturday Play day schedule and next week we begin a Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday schedule which will lead to 11 Play days in 2 weeks at the end of June and first week of July. A lot of Play and not much play time. This volunteer work is tough, but we are glad to be here and part of it.
When we decided to come to The Great Passion Play, we didn't know how long we would stay. We thought it would be for the month of May and we would then start toward home in Colorado. But while our volunteer force has decreased and will decrease again today, we are still here, working hard, playing hard and on display for God's work in this place; enjoying the tasks, enjoying the people and enjoying the ministry which is reaching out to the saved and the lost and planting seeds which will hopefully grow, mature and prosper and glorify Jesus Christ, the star of our Play and our play. Every day is an adventure. Every day has it challenges and reward, and we wake to scheduled tasks and assignments, but also the interruptions, breakdowns, flat tires and the rain which has just started to fall and the outdoor tasks which will have to wait a while. I'm glad we did most of the gardening and mowing yesterday. Maybe, I'll play solitaire, or pay sudoku or learn some lines from the Play. We are so blessed to be part of God's bigger Play. See you...........? Play on.
