There was a listener who was holding, and I didn't have time to get to his call before he had to hang up,

who just wanted to thank me for the talking about depression at Christmas.

And you are very welcome.

And again, for those of you who aren't, you probably do not know, or I'm sorry, you probably actually do know someone who is struggling at this time of

year.

And I would just genuinely, truly encourage you that if you don't think that you know someone who is, I promise you that someone really is,

and I hope you will consider just being loving to all of your friends out there during

the holiday season and to those who might be alone who can't be home who are going through

rough times putting on a happy face that you reach out to them because there are a whole lot

of people this is one of those times a year when someone's parents have died a sibling or a child

or they're home they're they're at college and they can't get home. They're working their first job.

They're in your church. There are a lot of people who, like I know, for example, now I could get home at Christmas, but Thanksgiving was a struggle. And typically I was at Mercer. My family lived in Louisiana. I was at Mercer University over in Macon, and couldn't get home for Christmas or for Thanksgiving, rather. inevitably, there would be someone who'd say, hey, why don't you come to my house? And it always meant a lot to me. And as I got older, started doing that for other people who couldn't get home when I started doing cooking and stuff. So just keep that in mind, please. A lot of people this time of year, it's just,

it's not a pleasant, happy, jolly, merry holiday for people because of life and the things that they're going through. Now, I got to talk about a story. I'm going to clean this up so your

kids can be in the car. It's okay. I get sometimes criticize, say, well, you focus too much on stories that happen in Atlanta.

So I'm going to focus on a story that happened in Chicago.

Samuel Parson Salas.

I want to read you this from cWBChicago.com.

Surveillance video captured the cold-blooded execution-style murders of three people

outside a Chicago bar this past weekend.

Officials say the killer is a man who was paroled less than

three months ago for a 2009 home invasion that left two people dead. He faced 10 counts of murder

in the home invasion case, but prosecutors dropped the charges in a plea deal.
