I did something a couple of weeks ago that I almost never do--I picked up a copy of a magazine while standing in the checkout lane at the grocery store. It was the July issue of Good Housekeeping. Now, I really have little interest in Good Housekeeping, although if I am in a waiting room, have nothing to read, and see no news magazines (Time, Newsweek, U. S. News and World Report) I may pick up a Good Housekeeping because it has less objectionable material in it than a lot of other magazines (the waiting room at the place where I have my car serviced has only People and Us in the waiting room--ugh! Talk about objectionable material!). But the reason that I picked up this particular issue of Good Housekeeping is that it had a cover article on The Jonas Brothers. Now, I also have very little interest in the music of the Jonas Brothers, although, while they are not a "Christian" group but a secular "pop" boys band (when I mentioned it, even our thirteen year old son Jeremy, who has very little exposure to pop culture, knew who they were), because they are very religious their music is reputed to be clean and decent. However, it is just not my taste in music. So, the reason that I was interested in reading what Good Housekeeping had to say about The Jonas Brothers is that I happen to know that the Jonas family has homeschooled (the older two are 21 and nineteen; the younger one is sixteen, and they have an eight year old brother) and I wondered if the article said anything about that. It did not. It did mention the brothers' wearing "purity rings, symbols of a commitment to remain virgins until marriage," and also their mother's most important parenting principle, the one tenent she will not budge on. "Kevin and I aren't friends with our children. We're their parents. That's very important." If you are interested in the Jonas Brothers, you might want to pick up a copy of the magazine.
