Southside Recreation Center

This is a great spot!  Open Gym is 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. and, obviously, from 1:00 - 3:00 you have the run of the place. ::grin::  There was a gym, a game room, a big room with couch and tables.....all free and all warm! LOL 

Big boys play ball!

Today we had fun with Lois and kids. Lois taught Arielle and Nolan piano while we lived here. Tricia and kids were there  as well as Deja and Kids. What fun! Moms visited, all the kids found things they enjoyed and we stayed WARM. 

This group enjoys Polly Pockets

These three explored the facility (before Ashley arrived)

A game room 

 

The whole group of kids.....

Could only maintain their poise for so long....

Thanks for arranging this, Lois. It was fun. 


We stopped by the mall afterwards. There wasn't a Gherkin in sight, but we finished our Christmas shopping. Sort of. They all need to buy for me (typical) and we need to buy for Michael.

Single Focus - Simplicity

"The eye is the lamp of the body; so them if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in your is darkness, how great is the darkness! No one can serve two masters;...." Matt 6:22 - 24a 


Eyes - clear....unclear and your  vision is obscured by cataracts.....Hmmm....dig a bit deeper....


Clear - Strongs # 573 - haploos - single, healthy, singleness, single focus, simplicity

Jesus teaches here the importance of having an unobstructed, single-focused vision.  I want my gaze squarely on Him - in all of life.  If I live in simplicity (single-focused obedience) my entire life will be characterized by His light...and I'll clearly recognize His light in the midst of the darkness around me. I'll forsake a search for plan B and keep my gaze securely, simply, singly focused on Him in ALL of life's "circumstances".


Simplicity - single-focus because, "No one can serve two masters...."
