“You will do well to be attentive […], until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.” (2 Peter 1:19)

When I was a kid, my mom had this cube made of different sized pieces of hard green plastic. Each piece was unique; some had right angles, some had a right and a left turn in them, maybe one was straight.

At first, I would get two pieces that seemed to fit the right way, then I’d add another and drop it, then I’d start all over again with those same first two pieces, slowly putting together the puzzle once piece at a time.

Efforts to build new playground in small community brings creative ideas

Hazel Run resident Melissa Stevens wanted to see the park in her community improved, and decided to take action on the idea, approaching the Hazel Run City Council last summer to find out what could be done to provide a safer, fun playground for area kids. The council agreed, with the existing park being older, and located in an area where kids would have to cross a busy road, and next to an abandoned elevator. Thus, a decision was made that not only a new location for the park would be sought out, but that new playground equipment would also be found.
