January 9, 2022. Holiday Island, AR. Winter Schedule

When we left Colorado in December, 2013 in our motor home, we really didn't have a definite plan for our "on the road" ministry to Vietnam Veterans and their receiving all the VA benefits they were entitled to. We hopped from Walmart to Walmart, Home Depot to Home Depot, military base to military base looking for Veterans we could talk with. We planned to visit friends and family along the way and when we heard about the need for volunteers at The Great Passion Play, we jumped at the opportunity and by May, 2014 we were in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
After the season ended in a October, 2014 we followed our friends, the Jarrell's, to Madison, Georgia and Source of Light Ministries International to volunteer there for the winter. Then it was back to TGPP for the 2015 season, back to SLMI, back to TGPP for the 2016 season, back to SLMI, back to TGPP for the 2017, off to Deep East Texas and time with the Edwards, and back to TGPP for the 2018 season. If you're not confused, all I'm trying to say is we spent 3 winters in Georgia, one winter in Texas and then it was summer and winter full time at TGPP.
There was a definite schedule for each year which kept us busy for The Lord and intentional in our desire to be where He called us to be. Covid was not in the picture, I was able to blog every third day, and health issues seemed to be minimal and manageable. But Covid put a crimp in everyone's plans the past 2-plus years, surgery last winter on my shoulder limited my tasks at the Play and at the cabin and this winter has done nothing to make our plans anything but unpredictable. But………..
I will be committed to Wednesday Holy Land tours for the winter, planning on three days a week at he health club to maintain shoulder recovery, and getting in shape by Easter for the 2022 Passion Play season, doing chores and tasks at the cabin, including getting our lower level cleared of boxes, bins and other storage items into our newly constructed storage shed, painting downstairs, making some home improvements and getting our medical issue under control. Being in our late 70's means taking more time to complete projects, making more time to rest and relax and being dependent on God for instilling patience, wisdom and thankfulness into every aspect of our life. We are blessed. We are grateful. We are prayerful. We are forgiven.
God is Good and we are so thankful.
