October 31, 2014. Eureka Springs, AR.

Tonight it is going to get into the 20's on the top of Magnetic Mountain and tomorrow we will turn the clocks back an hour and have one less hour of sunlight at the end of each day. Hard to believe how fast this year has gone by, how much we have experienced since we left Colorado last December to follow a path which has had many surprises and adventures. The Passion Play is almost closed for the 2014 season, with only a few more tasks needed to winterize the buildings and prepare the grounds for six months relative inactivity except for all the 2015 season planning to be done by a relatively small group of people.
I hate to look too far into the future and miss what is going on in the moment, but if, God willing, we are to be back here for 2015, it can't come soon enough. We haven't left yet, but we miss it already. Tomorrow evening will be the Donor Dinner and many of the people we worked with for the past six months will be there to celebrate what went on here and look forward to what God has in store for the upcoming season. Right now I'm doing our laundry in Cast Room 1 where I spent 77 evenings this year as a member of the cast. It's quiet, but there are many memories in this room and on this set, which I will take with me as we head out of Eureka Springs next week. Only God knows what the future holds for us, and we eagerly look forward and upward for His direction.
I pray for The Great Passion Play, for the staff, volunteers, visitors and all those who touched this place and those who were touched by it. I ask you who are following our wanderings and our ministry to pray for the future of this place. I've said it many times and written about it, that this area needs TGPP and it's message and it needs to reach an even wider audience with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Now, more than ever, there is an urgency to His message for a world desperately in need of it. We all bear the responsibility of being disciples and making disciples that all may hear the message and have the opportunity to receive and accept it. Press in, and press on.
