Getting in Touch with Reality
Once there was a home school family that always got out of bed on time. Their Bible study and prayer time was always refreshing and invigorating. Meals were always sumptuous and healthful. The children were devoted to their studies; they jumped at the chance to do math, literature, Latin, spelling, science, and history. The only thing they enjoyed more was cleaning the house. Everyone was always kind and loving to each other and spoke to each other with the utmost respect. Their clothes always matched and were never dirty. The family's activities were always historic, artistic, or organic. Their family room walls were covered with ribbons and plaques won from county fairs and community-service organizations, and their congressmen knew them by name.
