This past week, Dr. Dobson’s radio broadcast has featured an illiterate teacher who learned to read in his 30s, a best-selling author who lived as an atheist for 38 years, and a gifted communicator who talks to thousands of teens every week - and addressed one of the most common concerns of young people (true love). What an interesting mix of people - and each one had some tremendous stories to share with our audience!

Next week: How the present financial crisis came about, how it is impacting families like yours, and what you can do about it.

    I would like to suggest the following thought: On September 11, 2001 our country suffered a terrible tragedy when we were attacked by terrorists and over 3,000 people died. Our people rallied in a united cause, and thousands of people flocked to churches for a time to seek God’s help. Today we are suffering from a financial crisis the proportions of which we have not seen since the Great Depression. I would like to offer the suggestion that once again our people go to church and offer prayers for our nation’s and for the world’s economies. Now is not the time to panic but again to seek God’s help.”Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth give I unto you. Let not your hearts be troubled; neither let them be afraid.” -John 14:27

    I’m looking forward to your blog next week about how the financial crisis came about. From what I’ve been reading, there is plenty of blame to go around on both aisles of Congress, Fannie and Freddie, and greedy folks on Wall Street. I received an email from another Christian site, the AFA, which blamed the entire fiasco on liberals, which I felt to be dishonest. As a moderate Christian, I feel that truth is what Christ desires, not twisting things toward our own political bent. I trust and pray that you will be more balanced. God Bless.

    I appreciate the comments! I think when you listen to Monday and Tuesday’s programs you’ll hear in Dr. Dobson’s voice the calm of a heart trusting in Christ. You’ll likely hear him indicate he is “non-partisan” in his irritation at free-spending politicians!
