TAKE IT HOME:
Discuss this as a family this week:
-- Have you ever stolen something, like Pastor Bill's story of the lollipop? What and when?
-- Pastor Bill gave some different examples of stealing. Can you think of anything else that violates the Eighth Commandment? (some suggestions: plagiarism, copyright piracy)
-- What is something that you can actively to do try and provide for others? Is there someone in your life right now who needs your help?
