So my morning began with a call from Turner Falls State Park, telling me that due to the same weather system we got, as well as added safety issues inherent with being in the wilderness, they've had to close the park for today and tonight as well. Which means we're not going to Oklahoma tonight.
HOWEVER... Here's the good news/"plan B":
We'll still meet tonight, 6pm at Christ Chapel's parking lot. From there, we'll head to dinner together at a local restaurant, then if anyone wants to play boardgames, watch a movie, etc. afterward, we'll hang out after dinner. Additionally, feel free to spread the word to City folk who weren't going on the Roadtrip, neighbors, co-workers, etc.
Additionally, tonight I'll bring the handouts we going to use this weekend, with the solitude/reflection/Sabbath activities (or "non-activities") we were going to do. If you want to participate in some of them tomorrow and/or Sunday, we'll try to provide a list of "nature-focused" places around Fort Worth for you to go and dwell and "be still and know that I am God." Or, of course, you can do them in your own home; it's just sometimes harder. As a third option for this unplugged day, you can pray with us that Turner Falls re-opens tomorrow, and if that's the case, we'll figure out if some of us want to head north for a day trip or carry out the remainder of the Roadtrip.
I'm sorry for the last-minute notice and change, but there's not much we can do; it's out of our hands, and we trust that God has a purpose for this. So we're making sweet, sweet lemonade with the lemons we've been given, and we'll still look forward to a great time together tonight and one way or another, a great time with God tomorrow!
Please let me know you got this, and while I'll be starting to call you all after I finish teaching class today, feel free to spread the word about tonight!
See you all at 6pm,
Ben
