White supremacist insurrectionaries battled with these coalitions and won the Southern Civil War, successfully overthrowing democratically elected governments.

Came across a good reminder for all of us as to how valuable this asset really is for all of us. Coach the Coaches (@WinningCoaches) shared a quote from Kevin Gates which simply said, “Anything lost, can be found again, except for time wasted.” Now, I know I have wasted plenty of time throughout my life that I can’t get back. The only thing from those times are lessons that I still need to learn I guess. I’m learning a bit better about this, and I simply need to catch myself more when I’m not being a good stewart about my time. I’m going to keep trying. I hope you will too....

Saw this powerful post directed mainly at teachers, but it is total truth for everyone!! From Chris Quinn (@ChrisQuinn64) - “Great leaders never forget what it’s like to be a teacher or a student.” This is one thing that I tried to get my students to understand every year I was a teacher. Life is all about always being a student, no matter if you are in school, working in a school or not. People that realize that life is a teacher along with other people, we have things we can learn and get better at, every single day of our lives. It’s amazing how many people don’t get this. ...

We live in an anxious age. Long-held certainties, cherished beliefs, and social trust are crumbling. Don’t expect things to get better. For too long we have taken our Christian heritage—the heritage upon which America was built—for granted. But we’re rapidly, and now inevitably, losing the Christian culture that shaped the American republic. What will take its place is a despotism—and a new paganism, worse than the old, because it will be based on a hatred of Christianity.
