        In June and July we had young people from Team Effort come to the Passion Play on mission trips to help with projects such as landscaping, painting, clean-up, construction and other assorted tasks.  I oversaw the groups which were responsible for repainting the parking spots, crosswalks, curbs and other traffic control areas.  Weather hindered our progress, other projects had priority and limited work hours left the job mostly undone when the groups stopped coming at the end of July.  So the project became mine to complete. 
        Weather, other projects and limited work hours hindered my progress, as well, for the first few weeks of August, but the project really made headway as the weather cooled, our play schedule decreased and within the next few days, the project will be completed.  New parking spots have been created, handicap spaces (more then 50) are now all marked with the blue wheelchair symbol and barricades and poles are all freshly painted.  One pair of cargo pants looks like a piece of modern art and the back of my work vehicle looks like a paintball game has taken place there. 
        The work has been a one-man operation and repetitious, to say the least, and has necessitated moving traffic cones and taping off areas to keep traffic from running over the freshly painted  lines.  But it has been fun, less physically taxing than some of the other tasks we have here and I will miss it when I wrap up in a few days.

     9/2/15.   New projects will arise.  The final two months of TGPP season will proceed and each day will bring new joy and mercies.  God is Good and we look forward to His plan and the lines He wants us to paint over, paint anew or stay between or work outside of.  He will show the way.   Thank You, Lord.
