[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

When Christians tie Christianity to a particular political figure and party, not only do they fuse the reputation of Christianity to everything that political movement does, they become more shaped by the ways of that political movement than they do by the ways of Jesus.

[Sean DeMars @DemarsSean]

Christian friends, let's be careful not to speak too loudly or forcefully about things we only partially understand. You may be wrong about autism, vaccine risk, or the latest headlines, but you're not wrong about the gospel. So let’s make sure our clearest and boldest words are spent on the truths we can be eternally confident in: Christ crucified, risen, and reigning.

The announcement about new charges for checked bags, changes to cancellation fees, etc. from @SouthwestAir is extremely disappointing. I have flown with them almost exclusively for the last 19 years. They are now no different from any other airline. Why would I choose them now?

After my husband’s tragic death, @NatlParkService rangers at @MountRainierNPS and beyond cared for my grieving family, writes Clarissa Moll.

Their job isn’t negligible.

@OEatonMartinez Good reminder for today, Omar. Thanks for sharing!

As Americans vote to shape the future of our country, it's vital to recognize the essential role history organizations play in strengthening democracy. Please read our statement on the role our organizations will fill after the election at https://t.co/eaY2wFtNvt.

We have a new page on https://t.co/jY8OrC7htE to help you plan for and recover from a disaster. These include resources from AASLH, other organizations, and federal and state agencies. See the resources at https://t.co/wbJIQKeW22.

[Dr. Derwin L. Gray @DerwinLGray]

If you are only getting your political news from a partisan source that reinforces your beliefs already, you're not learning, you're being indoctrinated. I encourage you to read and look at political news you don't necessarily agree with.

[American Association for State and Local History @AASLH]

AASLH History Hour is our free, monthly, networking and community-building event. On Oct. 22, hear and learn from others on what types of disasters might threaten your organization and resources for planning for a disaster. Register at https://t.co/YvxCHPbAwt.

Use the AASLH Job Board to post a position or find a job. Our Job Board is an excellent place to look for candidates if you have a position to fill or if you're looking for a job. AASLH members receive discounts on job postings. Visit the job board at https://t.co/X7iEujeSLD.

@TheBoroHoller @rucoschools Are the School Board members required to actually read the books before voting? My guess is no. I have a problem with censoring something based on someone else's opinion.

@KaitlynSchiess The episode with the woman with the issue of blood is my favorite. The freedom offered in Jesus is amazing.

[Bethany Hawkins @jbethawk]

@kkramermcginnis @MikeCosper The French created tableau vivant (living pictures) as entertainment in medieval times. France, a secular country, knew The Last Supper could highlight the art form as it is recognizable to most of the world. Not a great choice, but maybe not pure evil.

[Bethany Hawkins @jbethawk]

@OEatonMartinez Thanks Omar. I needed this reminder this morning.

[American Association for State and Local History @AASLH]

Workshops at the AASLH Annual Conference explore a topic over a half- or full day. This extended time allows you to more deeply understand the subject and how you can implement what you've learned at your organization. Learn more about the workshops at https://t.co/BNXmGcuiom.
