Johnnette welcomes listeners with a  "HAPPY NEW YEAR." It is the start of of the Advent season which is the first day of the liturgical year in the Church. How do we stay close to God. Is there a 'golden thread' that we do to keep us close to His side? It could be devotions, prayers, rosaries or some other action. Caller Claire has left social media because of abuse. Is he following 'cancel culture' by doing this. Johnnette says we should not let people get under our skin. We are not doormats. God did not create us to be a doormat. We must pray for our persecutors. We all have wounds. B.A.R.= Betrayal, Abandonment, Rejection.
