READY!......SET!.....LAUNCH!!!
Our
space program has given us multitudes of examples of circular motion;
of rotation, of paths of processes that follow a circle. We can call
them orbits or race courses, or cycles. Like the ride on a Ferris
wheel, the journey is usually more than 'one time around', and maybe
rather continuous.
We
notice the orderly cycles of blood flow within us, and the countless
cycles of the seasons where we live. I like to think of a circle as a
reminder of 'timely repetition with a purpose'. Genesis tells us God
provided the solar system to provide times and seasons.
We
can remember well, the rotation of classes and subjects when we were
teenagers in school. First Biology, then Algebra, History, Health,
etc. Each day was a cycle; a rotation of those subjects and others.
Let's think of our Orbit of Order as different subjects that we get
some exposure to each week.
Just like in school we rotate through the subjects and then repeat the cycle. Our orbit cycle can use all or just a few of the ones we touch on here. Depending on the needs and interests of those teens you mentor, you can even add other ones also.
