With Andrew and Ben she has tried to be more diligent in making certain to swipe the teeth and leave the money, but alas, some days it just did not happen. Â When Andrew was seven, one day in an overwhelm of guilt she gave him twenty bucks for a random tooth to make up for the other three she had forgotten.
These types of events in family life become legend, and were not a problem as Andy was the youngest for so long. Â But Ben had heard the story and for his last two teeth asked if I thought the tooth fairy would give him twenty bucks for his first little baby teeth. Â Both times before the Fairy was broke and so she only left him a dollar or two. Â But last night she actually remembered to grab the tooth and happened to have twenty bucks on hand. Â So she paid him for the tooth.
This morning I asked Ben if he was planning to pay tithing on the money and he said, “no way, it’s mine.” Â He’s planning to buy nerf gun number six and a huge pack of bullets with the cash. Â He’s been saving up for that gun for a long time, had 53 cents in his bank, and now will have enough to get the gun.
I guess we are going to have to have Family Home Evening Lesson number 17 on why we are blessed to pay ten percent of our income in Tithing to Heavenly Father.

“SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court upheld the use of the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance and “In God We Trust” on U.S. currency, rejecting arguments Thursday that the phrases violate the separation of church and state.
(I know a socialist minister originally wrote it, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an important part of life in America.  Socialism back in 1892 was mostly theoretical and defined by “feel goodism” and was being promoted by those who had not yet witnessed the modern socialist state and how it  played out during the twentieth century experiment.)
The Boulder High students who wrote the Marxist version of the Pledge stormed out of class one day in protest to the American Pledge of Allegiance. Â When my friend Gerald Mangus heard about it he organized a protest and Fox 31 in Denver claimed they were going to cover it. Â They never showed up. Â But I took my camera and made a little movie of the seven of us who showed up at nine am on a school day.
I am friends with a girl at Boulder High who told me later that hundreds of students had heard about our rally and wanted to come outside and stand with the Freedom Lovers and say the real pledge. Â But the principal made the students all stay inside for the pledge. Â I guess he didn’t want the spectacle of Patriotic Students demonstrating in front of the most liberal high school in Colorado standing up for Liberty. Â Those of us who did show up wanted to prove that Conservatives do exist in Boulder County!
Matt, the student featured in my movie above just happened to see us out in front as he arrived late to school and joined our demonstration. Â I am so glad he was the one to stand with us to defend our Constitutional Republic.

“In less than one week, more than 100,000 Americans have signed their names to a petition demanding that lawmakers resist using “reconciliation” to ram a government takeover of America’s health-care system through Congress – and those signatures will be delivered directly to lawmakers Tuesday.
…Brandon urged Americans to sign the petition and include comments and zip codes. FreedomWorks will deliver the petition results directly to lawmakers and ensure comments from constituents reach each person’s own representative.
“For activists who are from a district in Pennsylvania we’ll be able to go in and bring all the comments from Pennsylvania and leave them with Sen. Arlen Specter,” he explained. “We’re going to make sure these peoples’ voices get heard on the hill.”
Tea partiers will also “surge” on Capitol Hill Tuesday as a show of opposition to the Democrats’ health-care reform. FreedomWorks is planning a March 16 rally called the “People’s Surge Against Obamacare 2.0” outside the Cannon House office building located at Independence Ave. SE and New Jersey SE. The group will rally from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. People will be bused in from various parts of the country.
“We’ll probably have at least 1,000 if not more people coming in to this event,” FreedomWorks’ director of federal and state campaigns, Brendan Steinhauser, told WND. “We’re telling people to go right into the three House office buildings: Cannon, Longworth and Rayburn. Find your congressmen, whether they are in the cafeteria, their offices, in the halls or hiding under their desks, and tell them to vote no. It’s very simple.”
He added, “We’ll help direct traffic. Come and deliver your message to Congress.”
He said FreedomWorks personnel will be on the street corner in front of Cannon building handing out maps of office locations and copies of petitions so people can take them to their representative on Tuesday.
“It’ll be interesting to see what Nancy Pelosi does,” he added. “Last time she told them all to run and hide.”
