Thanks for the opportunity to share. My husband and I were married in 1973. We were not Christians but received Jesus as our Savior later in the year. In 1975 we had our first baby, 1976 our second. Both boys. I was listening to a new Christian radio station in our area at that time. It was WHLO 640 and heard Dr. Dobson for the first time and was hooked. I was a faithful listener and ordered cassettes tapes for others to listen to. I was listening when he was part of the Committee on Pornography for Pres. Ronald Reagan. I was informed about what an abortion was and that the unborn baby is a human from conception and became active with our local pro-life movement. I listened and learned about how the educational system was changing and how to get involved with the local school district. I can’t remember the name of the speaker that the Dr. had on the radio at that time but he was from California and I invited him to come and speak to over 100 people about monitoring what our children were being taught. I read most all his books on raising children. By then I had 3 boys and 1 daughter. I read about raising boys. I told my peers that my children were raised by Dr. Dobson. I still tell people that. I have given my children books by Dr. Dobson to raise their children by. Dr. Dobson has had a profound impact on my family and the families that my children are raising. I praise God for him and his obedience to God. I am 73 years old now. He will be greatly missed. I am thankful that he is in the presence of Jesus now. “Well done my good and faithful servant” has to be the words he heard as he entered the place Jesus prepared for him. Condolences and prayers for the family and friends.
