As Americans prepare for Thanksgiving in 2024, for many, there is the question ?thanks for what?? Typically, this is a time to show love and affection towards friends, family and neighbors. However, when an individual has suffered hardship and disappointment in their life, it's hard to show a lot of LOVE. In fact, those closest to us tend to catch the brunt of our HATE expressed through anger. The Good news is that there is hope for reconciliation of all things, no matter what! Yes, the answer is ?Thanks for the opportunity to get better?! Join TALK-STRAIGHT host, Rev. Dr. Rueben Dockery as he discusses the hope for turning Hate into Love. Open Microphone Discussion
