Hello everyone I'm Dr. James Dobson and you're listening to Family Talk.

Yesterday we were talking with Kathy Laurie. She is a wife and

grandmother and the author of a book which we were discussing entitled As I See It.

She's also the co-founder of Harvest entitled As I See It.

She's also the co-founder of Harvest Christian Fellowship.

At the end of the program, we were discussing

the meaning of life from a Christian perspective.

And that took us into those difficult periods

when God doesn't seem to make sense.

That's a subject that I've addressed many times

and I've even devoted a book to it. Kathy let me have you talk

about it from your perspective because you've been there. You've experienced

tragedy in your own family because you lost a beloved son didn't

you?

We have two boys. Christopher, our firstborn, he was 33 years old and it was the happiest time of our lives Dr Dobson.

For my husband Greg in particular because he had suffered so much as a young person in a dysfunctional

home with no one who he could really call a father, he made it his determined purpose that

his family would always know that he was there and the love that he had for them.

Christopher had a few years in high school where he wandered and lived a prodigal life, not ever disrespecting

Greg or ever even stopping going to church.

He lived sort of a secret life of waywardness, but he came back with a vengeance to the Lord.

And in those last few years of his life, he was fully serving Jesus. He was working as the art director at our church.
