DECISION ON MOTION OF THE UNITED STATES FOR RECONSIDERATION
WILLIAM C. HILLMAN, Bankruptcy Judge.
This matter originally came before me on the Chapter 13 Trustee’s (the “Trustee’s”) motion to dismiss the Chapter 13 petition of Alan J. Saunders and Della C. Randall-Saunders (the “Debtors”). The determinative issue was whether Debtors may tithe to their church as proposed in their Chapter 13 plan. I answered the question in the negative. The United States of America has filed a motion for reconsideration of that decision. I deny the motion for reconsideration for the reasons stated below.
