Well, hello, everyone. I'm James Dobson, and you're listening to Family Talk, a listener-supported

ministry. In fact, thank you so much for being part of that support for James Dobson

Family Institute.

Well, welcome back to Family Talk. I'm Roger Marsh. You know, we live in a fast-paced

world, and it can be hard to find time in our busy day to even take a short, meaningful
