Dr. Dobson’s message: Never give up on life! You may be amazed at what you can accomplish if you’ll just stick with it and ask God for help.
Real love can’t be forced, and it can’t be caged.
If you have a teenager, take time to build a relationship. That gift of love will come back to you in multiple ways.
