This has been a strange week. Yesterday, after having a record high temperature for the date of 90 degrees, we had our first play cancellation due to a thunderstorm which had not been predicted, and came during the performance with such intensity that the audience "abandoned ship" and Jesus was flogged, carried His cross up the hill but never was crucified, resurrected or taken up to Heaven.
We have been short-handed in many areas of the Passion Play and where we do have people, they have been asked to perform tasks and roles that are totally new to them. We have had sheep not wanting to go where they have gone for the past five months, pigeons that don't want to fly, pig hunters on ATV's mingling with our guests as they tour The Holy Land, a Catholic School Principal ascending into the trees during a back-stage tour, Boy Scouts camping in the RV area this evening and Bubba and his friends from Louisiana coming to volunteer for anything we might have for them to do.
There have been some other unusual happenings; a sideswiped light pole, a paint spill in the back of a van, a broken throttle cable in my work vehicle, wasps in the Chapel in The Grove, the return of the lady bugs. But we press on, continue to expect the unexpected, interrupt the important to take care of the more important and know in our heart that God has it all under control. And what is out of whack for us, is in whack for Him and doable. We really do serve an awesome God, and for that we are thankful.
