At 60 years old now, I will say that Dr. Dobson and how he supported me through Focus on the Family in my younger days, was a stronghold for me in my marriage and in raising my children. In fact, I still have an article about international adoption from FOF, and God used it as a tool to lead us in adopting our two daughters from China. All his books were powerful and a blessing to me. They were “truth.” I’ve always considered him one of my American heroes because of his high-level impact on families. My heart is saddened at his earthly departure but oh so happy for his entrance to his heavenly home. Prayers for the family.
PreviousReflecting on the life of Dr. Dobson, I remember the first time that I heard of him was through the Adventures in Odyssey program, which highlighted common everyday situations that we go through in our lives. It focused on real problems and brought answers for our thinking and actions. My children and I, along with my wife, would sit and listen to every program that we could. "AIO" was a great vehicle for communicating godly lessons for influencing listeners like us. I remember one story about the little boy who was throwing a fit. When his father saw this, he got down on the floor and threw one with him. In this episode, the little boy stopped his fit-throwing. We learned that, when you wiggle around on the floor like this, it never gets anything done - but it will get you into trouble. Through all of the ways Dr. Dobson ministered to the family, he was a true and loyal man.
