Just a short blog after two days of traveling from Chattanooga. We left the Naval base outside Memphis this morning in a downpour, but knew that it would let up once we crossed the Mississippi River and were in Arkansas, and that's what happened. We got off the Interstates and were in our familiar back-road mode of travel. In the eastern part of Arkansas that means straight roads, flat terrain and field after field devoted to growing either rice or soybeans. And then the scenery changes dramatically and it is twists and turns, up and down hills, quaint towns, beautiful forests and narrow roads. Irma had a few hissy fits with some of the places we asked her to guide us to and through, but just after 5pm we were home again in Eureka Springs.
We set up quickly, had dinner with Jerry and Renee and are now listening to the silence outside. There is no traffic, no barking dogs, no airplanes flying overhead.......just quiet. I just wish my stomach weren't so noisy. Two weeks from tomorrow will be "opening night" starting at 10:00am and lasting until nearly 11:00 pm. A lot of things need to be in place by then, and tomorrow we will learn what things need to be done and who will be here to do them. God has the plan all ready and it's up to us to just put it into action. Let the fun of ministry begin..........again. How blessed and thankful we are to do God's work when and where He leads us.
