Reach Out, Forgive, and Reconnect – My Urgent Message Before the Holidays

This episode of "The Georgia Hour" on VoiceofRuralAmerica.com, hosted by BKP, is a heartfelt, reflective, and non-political holiday special focused on personal stories, family, compassion, and the true spirit of Christmas. BKP opens casually, reminiscing about his old on-air style and his long-standing routine of waking up at 3:30 AM to start work at 4 AM—a habit formed over years to counter what he calls the "deep state corporate corrupt Mockingbird media" narrative drops, as well as a life lesson from staying with his grandfather at age 8: "A man gets up and goes to work in the morning."

Shifting to the Christmas season, BKP delivers sincere advice:
Make a list of people who lost loved ones this year and reach out to them, as the first holiday without a family member is especially difficult.
Show love and compassion—avoid road rage or arguments over small things like parking spaces; instead, say "Merry Christmas" and open your heart to receive.
Make lasting memories: Attend a Christmas Eve church service, regardless of denomination, and call family members on Christmas Day—emphasizing that no child or parent should go without speaking to each other, despite any past conflicts.
He ties Christmas to the birth of Jesus as the perfect sacrifice and risen Savior, but also views it as an opportunity for personal renewal: rebuilding relationships, starting fresh with friends, and avoiding hate or harm toward others.

BKP shares stories about his audience interaction, appreciating emails and texts, viewing viewers as the "research department." He recounts meeting a protester at a Marjorie Taylor Greene event who became a regular contributor, and fond childhood memories of his late Uncle Danny, who brought annual Hess toy trucks as Christmas gifts and taught him joy through humor.

Emphasizing divine intervention, BKP believes God places and removes people from our lives for a reason, and certain encounters change us forever. He expresses deep gratitude to his supportive wife, friends, mother, and especially his producer Diane, whom he credits as essential to the show—playfully recalling their banter and how she instantly agreed to produce despite his warning that he can be difficult.

The episode closes on an emotional: God bless you, America, Georgia; go to church, realign with family/friends, make memories, and a fond "Happy trails until we meet again."
