Word of the Every So Often

tropism:  (noun)  OK.  Think of your philodendron growing on the window sill, and how it grows toward the light.  That’s tropism, the directional growth of an organism in response to an external stimuli, such as light, gravity, or your spouse.  For instance... All my philodendron has to look forward to is tropism.

The Daily Lesson

The phrase “In God We Trust” was first printed on a two cent coin in 1864, then on all coins in 1873, then on folding currency in 1957.  It was on July 30, 1956, though, that “In God We Trust” became the National Motto by an Act of Congress, undoubtedly in response to the Cold War and those godless commies.  The motto has been controversial ever since its inception by those who contend that it is a national endorsement of religion, which goes counter to the Constitution.  Yet, it remains.
