Nearly a dozen members of a police SWAT team in western Colorado punched a hole in the front door and invaded a family's home with guns drawn, demanding that an 11-year-old boy who had had an accidental fall accompany them to the hospital, on the order of  Garfield County Magistrate Lain Leoniak.

The boy's parents and siblings were thrown to the floor at gunpoint and the parents were handcuffed in the weekend assault, and the boy's father told WND it was all because a paramedic was upset the family preferred to care for their son themselves.

Someone, apparently the unidentified paramedic, called police, the sheriff's office and social services, eventually providing Leoniak with a report that generated the magistrate's court order to the sheriff's office for the SWAT team assault on the family's home in a mobile home development outside of Glenwood Springs, the father, Tom Shiflett, told WND.

Its really scary to think, that a call from a "concerned citizen" can result into the swat team breaking through your front door and hauling off with one of your children.

Our government is so far from the place our forefathers intended for us to be. We REALLY need change..

God set up a chain of command, first in Heaven, and then again here on earth. When you do not honor that command, you dishonor God, and apart from repentance, you can expect to reap the sure consequences. "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God" (1 Cor. 11:13).

Worried about the way our economy is going? Think we are in a recession?? Wondering which candidate can fix our dire situation???

For a great article that coincides with the issues addressed in this video please go to Stepping Heavenward!

Hannah, our just recently turned 3 year old, was playing in her toy/school room with her sisters.

She steps out her playhouse and delcares "I'm going to buy some tools.... and a puppy, a puppy because Sophia loves puppies."

Obviously there is no explanation needed for the tool purchase. It's perfectly normal for a 3 year old girl to want to buy tools... or isn't it? *Wink*

I think her fathers new job has taken root  in her life :0).
