Life may look perfect on the outside, but on the inside it never is. Take Liliana Megan and Evan James for example: Meg, as she likes to be called, has a mother, father, and younger sister. She attends church on Sundays and works tirelessly on her schoolwork. Perfect? Think again. Her life may look it, but her heart is empty. She is far from her Heavenly Father, though she claims to be His child. Evan has a father, but they aren't close. His mother died when she was young. Attending the same school and church as Meg, he sees things a little differently than her. He lives in communion with God his Father, and should probably focus a bit more on his schoolwork. Neither of their lives are perfect, but in different ways.
