Wow, things have been pretty crazy as of late. I've loved going to work and doing the kind of math we're doing. It's thinking math and not so much plug and chug at all.
Plus, I've been learning a ton about what I want to advocate hardcore the rest of my life. I'm making some intense changes for the better. A better I can only see strengthening me and helping me grow closer to my Father in Heaven. There are 3 Fronts to this Battle of Good and Evil to which I am devoting my life to: Education is the overall point in Gospel, Constitution, and Mathematics. I'm excited to see how things turn out.
The reason for the title is because these have been some trying and intriguing emotions that I've experienced.

Why would the Founding Fathers have the option of a Constitutional Convention?
If a Constitutional Convention is so dangerous, then why did the Founding Fathers put it in the Constitution?
The point: God governs himself by the laws He makes. When Christ comes to reign and fulfill prophecy He will call a Constitutional Convention to restore His Constitution to its purity. Then there will be peace.
I know that the Lord instigated the Constitution and filled the soul of those men who met together in the first Constitutional Convention. They came together under God, the only way we will be able to continue to stand is under God.
"We see the darkness taking over around us and we tend to forget that there is the opposite as there always is; I choose what side I'm on by the action or lack thereof."
Here are the 4 foremost proactive steps we can take to restore God's Constitution:
1st- Righteousness; our own personal righteousness proves whether we are able to govern ourselves or if we need someone else to do it.
2nd- Education; There are tons of freedoms we are letting ourselves lose . Before we can have action we need to know the standard, goal, and how we should go about it.
3rd- Help Other Come; Spread the word! I don't think there are too many people who would be happy if they really understood what was taking place. How can the spirit of truth in action be seeded in anyone's heart/mind without letting them know about it? We all have a responsibility when we 'know.'
4th- Get Involved in the Political Process; This may not sound like the most honorable or fun thing to do, but it is better than a revolution. Most revolutions do not turn out well. There is hope in working steady and intensely within the Constitution as it was intended to be interpretted and holding our government officials to that standard.
There is a lot of work to be done. I am here and have caught the fire of this Dispensation of the Fullness of Times. The Marvelous Work and Wonder is much more than I had before thought.

WHAT ARE THE SAFEGUARDS, AND WHY HAVEN'T THEY WORKED?
So, I just realized that my brillant idea of typing these posts by sections of boldfaced type or all caps in my case. That they will be shown backwards. So, if you want to start at the beginning of this whole schpill then you'll need to go down a few posts.
To help enforce and maintain this system of balanced federalism, the Constitution provides both external and internal controls on government. Perhaps the best example of an external control is the people's right to cast their votes in frequent public elections. Yet this alone is not a sufficient protection, because elected officials sometimes "change their tune" after assuming office. All too often, a candidate who wins a national election by claiming to support constitutional principles catches "Potomac fever" upon arriving in Washington and quickly becomes part of the problem rather than part of the solution.
Among the internal controls established by the founders are (1) the oath of office, which requires all federal and state officials to pledge their support for the U.S. Consitution; (2) the separation of powers, which divides authority among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches to prevent any one branch or individual from becoming too powerful; and (3) a series of checks and balances that enable the three branches of government to keep each other within their proper bounds.
Unfortunately, these internal devices for maintaining our federal system are now largely ignored. For instance, although the president and the Supremem Court both have authority to resist unconstitutional laws enacted by Congress, they seldom do so. In fact, the Court has actually ruled that "Congress is not limited by the direct grants of legislative power found in the Constitutino." Over the last several decades, such neglect of constitutinoal restraints has allowed Washington to become increasingly abusive toward the states and the citizens of this country.

that was just the first paragraph and I didn't mean to post it but it happened
Since the only way to restore American federalism is to reinstate the principles on which it was built, this month we are going to focus on the founding father's original design for federal state relations. And on the bias of that design, we suggest a strategy that can help reunite and empower the states as they work to reestablish their proper role in our nation's government.
HOW IS POWER DIVIDED BETWEEN WASHINGTON, D.C., AND THE STATES?
Federalism is the constitutional division of powers between the national and state governments. To function correctly, this kind of political system requires at least two things: a binding agreement that specifies the distribution of powers between the central government and the states, and effective controls for enforcing and maintaining that agreement. To provide these two elements is the main object of the U.S. Constitution. Since both are vital in the current struggle to repair our federal system, let's examine each otherm from the founders' viewpoint.
The framers of our Constitution wanted a strong national government, but they also wanted it to be strictly limited to the functions authorized in the Constitution. Most of these are found in Article I, section 8, which outlines the "enumerated powers" delegated to Congress. And not only does the Constitution specify the powers granted to the central government; it actually prohibits that government from exercising any powers not delegated to it. The 10th Amendment expressly declares that these are "reserved to the states respetively, or to the people."
Thomas Jefferson summarized the basic design of the system: "The people, to whom all authority belongs, have divided the powers of government into two distinct departments [i.e., the national and state governments], the leanding [characteristics] of which are foreign and domestic...These they have made coordinate, checking and balancing each other, each equally supreme as to the powers delegated to itself."
The founders felt so strongly about this division of powers that they regarded the 10th Amendment as "the foundation of the Constitution." Jefferson insisted that "to take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specifically drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition."

News from the National Center for Constitutional Studies
Ok, guys. This comes from a paper that my gramma Bennett gets in the mail from the National Center for Constitutional Studies . . . It is well worth reading even though it is long. It's two pages written. Mostly I want it recorded somewhere so that I can come back to it and so that others can read it as well.
STATES DEMAND RETURN TO FEDERALISM
An emerging "federalist revolution," is beginning to unfold. Some of the states have launched a bold campaign to reclaim their rightful place in the American political system. this movement could well become one of the most significant developments in modern history, but in order to bear good fruit, it must be rooted in the inspired constitutional formula that made America "the land of the free."

Identity Crisis
Holy Cow! I love this game and ever since I've introduced it to anyone they instantly fall in love with it also!! Matt Player is one who you'd love to video tape the ENTIRE time. He's hilarious!!! We did get some video; it's not the best, but if Mindy is able to figure out how to get it onto her computer from the tape, then you can bet it'll be on facebook! Everyone has their quirks at this game: Dave Nilson always covers his mouth after saying the name, Manuel calmly says a name, Lori and Mindy sit down pretty much every time before they say a name and usually get back in the middle, Mindy and Manuel were our cripples for the evening. Manuel did whatever he did to his leg on monday at FHE playing soccer. He's super good! And Mindy did hers . . . I'm not sure. But she or really her family lives on a dairy farm, so they're extremely cool! I loved that we were pretty much still totally in Logan, but out in the middle of nowhere on a farm. Plus, her house is the old kind, but with modern tint and such. I love it, especially the carpet downstairs! It's not shag, but it sure has a pattern and color schemes you don't see anymore. Matt goes into fetal position or has the legs spread apart and arms thrown in the air with big eyes. He already has big eyes too. Jen goes with a vengence, and is the default name because it's nice and short. Jordan and Peter never existed, but were called enough. Kendel said that if Mindy and Matt could have imaginary friends, he would've brought his if he'd have known. Phil was the most laid back and hardly ever had to move. Brandon made funny faces and I did whatever I did. A great game for all ages as long as they get the idea of the game.
The occasion was that it was Mindy's birthday and Dave had invited me after Constitution class.
Which brings me to another Identity Crisis . . . the United States Citizens. I claim that most of us living the US don't understand what it means to be a US citizen. Under the US Constitution this country formed a People's Law type of government. The PEOPLE rule! We've lost that sense of caring and responsibility/freedom we'd given ourselves or really our Founding Fathers gave us.
I can't claim I understand everything we've lost or exactly how to recover it, but I know we've strayed from true freedom. I learned tons I'd never really considered in that one Constitution class. It's kindof overwhelming at first to start seeing everything I've either been misinformed on in school or what they never even cared to teach me.
The biggest push now, that we need to get out to people is the movement for a Constitutional Convention. It's well funded meaning, by the bad guys. For one to happen, a majority or something like that of the 50 states need to call for it. We need to let our state legislature know that we DON'T want a Constitutional Convention. The last time we had one was when the Constitution itself was ratified. Once we are in a Constitutional Convention, whoever is in on it will be able to make whatever rules they want. It's basically so that they can pass all the socialistic laws and things that they want to and . . . it's just not good. The Constitution talks about it in Article 5 or something? Go to this website; it makes things a bit more clear. http://www.usconstitution.net/constam.html
These are the last days and we can't be idle any longer. It's the dividing of the valiant and not-so-valiant. It becomes more clear as time goes on. I want everyone to be sure of what side I'm on.

Re-Enacting a weekend in One Day
Sarah Snow and I went down to Bountiful Temple to take pictures before we went to Taylorsville for Sarah to take her ccCNA test.
The temple is so pretty and we got a little lost before we finally reached it, but just like the beacon it is. We could see it every once in awhile through the trees so we knew we were getting closer. Then we took pictures and smiled and laughed and thought about the temple. we absolutely enjoyed ourselves until the camera said that it was full, so we couldn't take any more pictures. So, we used our phones to do our best and found out a couple things specific to the Bountiful Temple that were oopsies.
And since we'd been planning on going to the Salt Lake temple and taking more pictures and such we needed/were thinking about a way to remedy this. Then I thought!!! Yeh, I know some people in Bountiful! that don't even live very far from the temple. So, I called up the Christensen Family! I accidently called Brian, Jake, because he reminds me so much of my cousin Jake. Oh well, Mom O' Will got on and she said we could come over and use a computer to see if we could get into the folder that needed to be deleted. We couldn't get to it just from the camera itself. Being a pain, and then we couldn't even get to it from the computer so Michelle (Mom O' Will) made a CD for us with the 41 pics we'd already taken. Their family is so nice. Nicole was funny; she couldn't remember who I was and thought I was originally a friend of Katie's and had moved awhile ago. Funny girl. They even let us use their bathroom. We are very grateful.
Finally we're on our way to Taylorsville. The next thing that brought back the weekend with Will taking pictures, was going out to dinner at the Iceberg. Yummy! Even if it wasn't the exact same one. Then we ended finding the very same park that we took Brenda's bridal pictures. Crazy!!! After we'd gotten off 215 to go throught the Airport and backtrack to go past the Salt Lake Temple because we didn't want a storm to face on the way home and it was late already. and Sarah indulged my want to go past the temple, so we were in Salt Lake trying to find an onramp for I-15. Then I saw, Chunga's, which looked familiar. So, we followed the road and found the International Peace park. or gardens. Really pretty, though we didn't get out just went past.
Crazy!
The drive home was entertaining with a call from Josh ? from Snow College. Sarah knows him; we set up a date for July 3rd! I'm excited. To say the least, it was a grand ol' day that Sarah and I needed. It's crazy how much of the day reminded me of the picture taking journey with Will.

Seminary Graduation
Mariah graduated seminary this evening. I love it. I love how many ol' pals I've been able to see. It's great to see them after not seeing them for so long. I feel right at home.
I got to do her hair and she looked pretty in her new dress. I love to hear Bro. Rees talk, and kami, kelsey, and owen and his anology with Newton's Law of Motion. Wow, it's way too late, I'm going to bed.

Constitution, Dance, and Band
I've been reading The 5000 Year Leap by some one Sckowsen or something like that. I actually forgot it at a friends house when I went to go pick up some speakers and take them to another friend. Anyway, it's one of the best books I have ever written. I can't explain with the vague vocabulary I have how much light it has brought into my understanding not just of law and government, but of life and living. You can't really live without People's Law or Nature's Law. This governing of nature's God is a base for certain unalienable rights given to man. One of which is the unalienable right of people's duties. Usually we hear about our unalienable rights in that all men are created equal or essentially a right that doesn't seem to carry a responsibility on our part as holders of that unalienable right. (I wish I had my book to reference.) I hold a firm belief that it's the individuals of this people of the United States that needs to pick themselves up as best they possibly can and get moving. Working to be the best person they can be morally, socially, physically, emtionally, mentally, and spiritually. It's all of these that make a person healthy and if the people are balanced naturally (I guess we can add that one to the list of -ally 's) their thinking will be more for the good of the whole. Things will be more clear and can be sorted out rationally. We are a sick people, in that we fill our lives with fluff and snacks rather than full meals and good ol' work.
Now, I'm not saying that we don't work or that we don't have some full meals. But that we as a whole have lost a sense of balance and responsibility to work for ourselves. We want things handed to us way too often. A little of it comes from the 'convenient' and 'efficient' technologies we have. We want it now, whatever 'it' is! I have been in this scoop and have felt the effects of fast technology.
I may not be making a whole lot of sense right now because I'm getting really tired and I have to get up early and I did this last night too. I need to get out of this habit. Someday I'll get to the dancing and band. Oh, I have to tell you about band!
I got to go and see the last 09 band concert for 6 and 7th grade and the high school concert band and jazz band! I absolutely loved it! I laughed and smiled so big and long I felt like barbie. WoW, I wish everyone that loves music could've been there or anyone that has attempted to learn or does play an instrument or whatever. It's just the best and brings back great memories!! Then I gave big hugs all the way around and found out a bit about everyone that I was able to get a hold of. Sadly, they left while I was still clearing chairs and things. I don't know exactly why I started clearing chairs and everything it's just something I do. I still feel quite a part of the whole group. Andrew Deakin (my adopted little brother) says that "If no one else was enjoying (laughing or whatever) themselves then at least Cherie was." Apparently I was being fairly loud because another one of my good friends from the flute section (Andrew is a clarinet/sax/piano player), Brittney Anderson, told me that I have a contagious laugh. Then I asked if I'd been loud otherwise how would she have hear or whatever right, I didn't think I was THAT loud! She confirmed that I was loud. oh well, that's what ya get when ya haven't been in a band class/concert for so long and you know pretty much everyone who is playing. Even many of the younger kids the same age as your brother who is playing and you meet the people sitting in front of you to find out which kid is theirs, finding out that their kid plays in the same band as your kid (Jason) and of course you point each kid out to each other. And if anyone can follow this anymore, I love you and am amazed. Really I love you anyway, but I'm definitely giving out right now, so I'm going to bed.
I was front and center, actually one row back and for awhile one chair in from the center isle. WOW! that's all I can say and could say afterwards except that I loved them ALL! Love the show and everything!
Wow, I went off on quite a tangent, so now this really doesn't make as much sense.
The music was wonderful besides the dead fish, dunce cap, gong falling over, mouth pieces, and gargling, and interpretive dance. and solos and . . I better just get off. . . .

Tether ball, Tandem bike, and Pogo sticks
Wow, what a great Memorial day. We talked about our ancestors, had great food. Shared stories and talked about weather and planting. Then Jason and I rode the tandem bike around (two seater bike), then played tether ball. I like playing with Jason more because I don't hit myself in the face and I can win. With Jacob it's much harder. Then we played in Forrest's hammick a bit. Then we got out adult size pogo sticks and had a blast with that. I wish there would've been three of them because Mariah came out and started playing with us. I love bouncing and jumping. Oh . . I love it. Anyway, I decided I am going to open date this one guy when he gets back from his study abroad in Chile, Brazil, and Peru.

On the Playing Field
So, I have finally decided that I'm on the 'Playing Field.' Which means that I'm single and therefore 'available,' if you will. This was decided back in January and let me tell you, things have sure changed in my dating and friendshiping life! Not that I didn't have friends before or anything, I'm just more of myself and crazy! And apparently lots of guys are noticing or something. So, there are lots of fun trips, crazy quarks (not chemistry), friends, and guy stories I could tell you about, but I've got to get back to my chemistry. And since now I have more developed opinions on things, i'm planning to write on here. It's fun! Bye for now.

Draper Temple Open House
Hey, I've been working to get a van load of friends to take down to the Draper Temple Open House. I really hope that Jesse, my friend from Poky comes! It would be so cool. So far I've got Kylee, Erica, me, and most likely Coltin (maybe his cousin too). I love working with such nice people on the phon and organizing stuff. I just get worried about people attending and not flaking. Of course there are viable excuses or better things for them to be doin at that particular point in time, but I hope all works out. And that I'm able to bring the peace and spirit of the temple to those I love. They are all such good friends. I'm excited that I got it together, even though I missed the saturdays. They filled up before I got to them. So, now we'll be going in March when I don't have to worry about the weather so much.
Ya know what's funny? I always think I have so much to say. Then I get on here and don't have anything to say. So, bye now.
