Thank you Anderson for bringing the Johnston family on your show. I saw the all their videos on my computer and was inspired by parents wonderful attitude of self-sufficiency and how they are teaching their adorable kids to live as a family. They are sweet and I pray life is always good and kind to the Johnston family.

I'm sorry I didn't see your show but from the video's here on my computer, it was certainly inspirational to see little people have the courage to try to educate the world about how they live just as normal lives as anyone else. "BRAVO" for the Johnston family. Mr. & Mrs. Johnston seem to be wonderful parents and want for their children the same things all parents want for their children.

THE HUMAN PERSON was created into (or evolved from) four different levels (dimensions) - The Physical, The Emotional, The Intelectual and The Spiritual. The Spiritual was the earliest (non-matter) while the Physical (matter) was the last (recent) stage. The dwarfs are those that missed the physical or whose physical failed to be complete (normal). Amongst the Human groups (sometimes whole families or nations) any of the four dimensions (components) fall short. this is what happens to the savants, the autistics, the dwarfs etc. The Average Human has all four at nearly equal level. The genius will have the Intellect that is higher than the rest of the average.

Some Animals such as horses and dogs have The Four components just as strong as humans but they lack the Physical attributes (hands) that allow them to create crafts or the tongue that allow them form words (humans speak in tongues). An autistic has a tongue handicap and a dwarf a physical height. But none of us may claim superiority for we did not endow ourselves with our Four attributes, except through heredity, and later on the capacity those heredities allow us to build. The rest depends on our choices (running, learning, reading, writing or entertaining etc).

God Bless the JOHNSTON FAMILY. It was inspirating and wonderfuly how Mr. & Mrs. Johnston is teaching their children how to life self sufficiently and not depending on other people. I really love how your 9 year old had answered those kids at her school. That was the best answer and I pray that God will be with you all.

I was hoping this beautiful mom would be given a high efficiency front loading washer and dryer as soon as I saw what she went through in the lead in video! Heck it's a struggle for me, a woman of AVERAGE height! Kudos to ALL! Thank you Anderson! And I love the Johnston family! They are excellent parents teaching their children how to live self-sufficiently!!
