The weather this past week was unusual. The remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon were swirling counterclockwise and a cold front was approaching us from the west. The radar maps were pretty exciting and it had the potential to create a mess for northwest Arkansas. But all we ended up with was light rain, an almost constant mist, lower temperatures and a Play performance last night with just those very conditions. Even though the humidity was 98% it was cool enough where we were moist from the precipitation, not perspiration.
Today we had mist all morning and temps in the low 60's. The week ahead looks mild, dry with "open the windows" nights. Hopefully, the three months of July-weather are not to return and we can enjoy our time outdoors in comfort. In Arkansas, as in most places, the weather is subject to change quickly and the radar map is our constant companion. We expect a busy week here at the PP and even have a group of almost 100 coming on Wednesday, a non-performance day, to take a tour of the Holy Land. A number of us will "dress up" and give them a normal version of the tour except for the camels and Christ donkeys in the Holy Land corral. As with most activities here, we need to be flexible, accommodate the unexpected and be prepared to bless and be blessed.
Being in an entertainment/tourist/outreach ministry we are often caught in the middle of meeting people-needs and accomplishing our normal operational duties and doing both in a way which reflects a positive and Christ-like attitude. Like most of what we encounter in life we find ourselves caught in an "in the world, but not of the world" posture, on some middle ground.
"As for me and my house, we will serve The Lord", no matter where we find ourself and what situation we face. Personally, I wouldn't want it any other way.
