Blue Blocks built for creators
Elgin Recreation Center is hosting their new Big Blue Blocks playroom every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. for the remainder of June and July. Parents and children ages three through 12 are invited to come and create works of imagination with the soft, life-sized interlocking building blocks. Deliah Turnipseed, age 2, enjoyed climbing the blocks during the Juneteenth celebration. 06/21/2023 12:00 AM
Prayer without Ceasing
Prayer without Ceasing
Our Lord tells us to pray without ceasing, and He “never lies” (Titus 1:2). St. Paul says that our prayer and thanksgiving to God should be not just occasional but constant when he says, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). We get nowhere by minimizing His demands on us. Jesus is not joking when He says, “You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). God does expect perfection of us, and anything short of perfection is sin. God does expect unceasing prayer from us, and anything short of unceasing prayer is sin. 05/17/2023 12:00 AM
