After breakfast each morning, the kids would go to chapel - outside, by the lake. We'd sing songs, listen to a talk by Robert Frye, and sometimes have a skit with a spiritual meaning.

If you look really close at the box that Rachel has a foot in, you will see the word, "Sin" printed on it in large letters. The story line opens up when a Billy gives Rachel this box to watch as he needs to go somewhere for a while. He tells her to watch it for him, but gives strict instructions to not touch it. Predictably, just as soon as he leaves her with the box, curiosity gets the best of her, she begins to inspect it, and eventually puts her foot in it.
.
Not surprisingly, she cannot get her foot out of this box called 'Sin' once in it. She tries and tries, but it is to no avail. She is trapped in Sin.

.
A woman walks by and Rachel cries out to her for help to get out of this bad situation. The woman tells her that if only she would meditate and chant, Rachel could get out.
It didn't work. Rachel was still trapped.
.

Ashley suggested that Rachel try music to forget about her situation and eventually she'd be able to get out.

A couple walked by and again, Rachel cried out for help. They told her that "relationships" would help her.
.

Tiaranny came swaggering by with a bottle wrapped in a brown bag. A drink would provide all the answers, she told her.

When Jodi came by, she was counting a fistful of dollar bills, not paying any attention to what was going on around her. Rachel cried out for help, and Jodi took a moment from counting her cash to offer some help. "All you need is money. It will help you out of anything." But Rachel's foot was still firmly stuck in sin.
.
.
The skit concluded when Billy came back to retrieve his box and found Rachel stuck in sin. She explained to him that curiosity had gotten the best of her, and she had gotten stuck. She cried out for help from many, and none of their answers helped her. At this, Billy responded to Rachel that the only way to be freed from sin is through Jesus Christ. And unlike meditation, drinking, relationships, or money, asking Christ to be her personal Saviour set her free. |
