The Commandments are the very bottom line of what God expects of us. They are mere details in understanding the Law of Love. BUT THEY ARE THE PLACE TO START. As you grow to know the **goodness** of God, you will grow in your understanding of how this Law of Love is to be applied to our every thought, word and deed.

**DID YOU KNOW?** We are all (parents and teachers) still learning about God? That is why we are called disciples - its a word that comes from the Latin language and means student.
