"The Ten Comandments"

As we all know a very important of the Ten Is "Do not covert your neighbors wife". It is not easy explaining this concept at VBS to a bunch of 4th almost 5th graders. It is even harder when one of the students in your class is going through family troubles because the mother, after 14 years of a wonderful marriage is shacking up with a younger man ...not her loving husband. How awkward is this topic to the group of 1o almost 11 years olds? It is not a happy thing to have to hear of your friends bad choices or accept her actions. So to put it blunt long gone days of "Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible loves me so"///// Deeper and deeper we go the older we get.......Heaven help me!

Very sad...the poor kid. I'm sure you will give advice from your heart, and if that doesn't work, a good hug will always do. Good luck and keep on doing what you do for those kids!

That is a sticky situation, Stephie. But imagine how much stickier (and ickier) it will be when you have to explain that mom's lumberjack girlfriend, huh?
