This is an excerpt from Doug Wilson’s book, Reforming Marriage…puts things a bit more into perspective, don’t you think?…….

“We would like to invite you over this evening…..”

“Why, thank you!” he says, innocently enough.

“Wait, wait, that’s not all. We would like to invite you to come into our bedroom and watch us while we have sex. It could be a really exciting time for all of us.”

The Christian recoils in horror. “We couldn’t do that. You see, we’re Christians.”

“Oh, I see,” he says, scratching his head. “That could be a little much for you then. I’ll tell you what! We have a video camera. Why don’t you let us tape it, and I’ll just bring it over in the morning. Then you watch it whenever you want.”

The Christian explains that this wouldn’t be possible either.

“I don’t understand,” the neighbor says, with a puzzled look. “Last week you invited us over and we all watched that movie on your VCR. It had a couple of skin scenes in it. Why are you willing to watch another man’s wife, but not mine? My wife may not be the best looking….”

Here the hapless Christian interrupts and explains that her looks have nothing to do with it. He goes on to explain that they are not ordinary Christians. They belong to that very special breed – hypocrites

We have been using D.I.V.E. into Math CD’s with Saxon for several years now. It took me awhile before I broke down, spent the money and purchased several of them. I am so glad I did! They are working really well!

Let me tell you about them! This fellow uses media player to make your computer screen into a white board where he draws out and diagrams math problems. He follows the Saxon books’ lessons. I’m sure I’m not saying this clearly. Basically, when a child is ready to do a lesson, they sit down at the computer, bring up the lesson on the D.I.V.E. CD, and listen as the man explains things. They can stop it, back up, and replay. You don’t see the man, just hear him. No bells and whistles…but certainly makes learning it easier. When the lesson is done being explained, the child goes to their lessons in the book and works them. I have found that when my children do the tests, I can see if they need to go back.

Also, this man gives his testimony, educational background, and an exhortation to the children to do well in school and why. At the beginning of some of his lessons, he encourages the kids again to do well, obey their parents, etc….just briefly.

Here is the website. I telephoned them to make sure I was using the right version of Saxon with the right CD. I spoke with the gentleman’s wife. She was very personable. They shipped to me very quickly. http://www.diveintomath.com/
