Dr. John H. Braccio and Dave discuss, on the “Morning Wake-Up With Dave Akerly” Radio Show, on 12/20/16 on WILS, 1320 a.m.in Lansing, Michigan about CELEBRATING kocasinan eskort THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST-THE PRINCE OF PEACE. One need not be a Christian to recognize the wonder and joy that Jesus means to millions of people throughout the world. That Christians are often not like Jesus does not negate from the goodness of someone who gave us the golden rule: DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU. It is important for all of us Christian and non-Christian alike, that this is not a day of gifts but a major religious holiday. It is also not disrespectful to other religious groups to passionately celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. This would be true even if Christmas were not a national holiday in a country overwhelmingly Christian. This also is a time to be kind to others in emotional need who are alone and need support.

Dr. John H. Braccio and Dave discuss, on the “Morning Wake-Up With Dave Akerly” Radio Show, on 11/15/16 on WILS, 1320 a.m.in Lansing, Michigan about WHY SO MANY PERSONS CANNOT PSYCHOLOGICALLY ACCEPT BITTER ELECTION DEFEATS AND REALIZE THERE CAN BE DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET POSITIVE konya merkez escort kızlar RESULTS IN A DEMOCRACY. These are confusing times in our country. An argument said about millennials is that they are too often entitled, opinionated, have trouble working as a team, and waiting their turns for promotions in regular bureaucracies. If that if partially true, it could explain why so many young people are having trouble accepting the honestly shocking election of President-Elect Trump. That many adults are having the same problem more predictably relates to grief relating to accepting a huge unexpected political loss taken very personally. Regardless of the cause, as legitimate as one might have, President Ronald Reagan noted the differences between political parties were small in a democracy as compared to totalitarian states where the only way is that of the dictator or ruling oligarchy. The responsibility of all of us is to try to make our president be successful and prepare for the next election to vote if we approve or disagree of the direction of our country. I must add I am still amazed that Secretary Hillary Clinton lost the election.

There seems to be silifke escort ilanları a lot of speculation about this at present. The following are a few possibilities: RETURN TO THE SPLENDID LIFE OF A BILLIONAIRE.
