Every morning we write in our religion journals with a prompt or just a reflection.  Today I had them educate me on what a circuit was and how they make it work.  Then we discussed when they had problems with their circuits.

We have been discussing 10 commandments and thinking about sin or breaking the 10 commandments as turning from God or not staying on the path.  Not sinning and living according to God's words creates a smooth and guided path.

So I asked them to write in their journal how creating a working circuit or a not working circuit is like our relationship to God. 

They collaborated and found this answer: When we are fully connected with God and his way for us we are like the light bulbs that can light up.  When the path way is broken by our sin our light does not shine and we are in the dark.  WOW!!
