<h1>Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin</h1> 

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us. 

>No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.  If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work.  1 Corinthians 3:11-13

<h1>Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny</h1>

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.  Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life.  These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.

*"SMART PEOPLE today are figuring out how to trade without the creature being able to control them - using things like gold and silver products, garden co-ops, online bartering and digital currencies such as Bitcoin."*

I had to set some traps last year...have a couple of unwanted visitors as well! I also went with the reusable ones, it's nice to be able to use them again and again!

Oh and thanks for the props!!!
