We are in a season of protest, riots, and a call for change. People from many races and ethnicities are speaking out for what has been ignored for many years.

We are embarking on another New Year 2019. We must recognize that time is a valuable resource that allows each of us to attribute importance to it. No one can take it from us and we can’t...
