![]() ![]() Marsha: “Listen, my children, And you shall hear, Of the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere …” It’s called The Midnight Ride on today’s Focus on the Family. Alright, gather around, and enjoy this episode of Adventures in Odyssey. And so just ask for the God and Country CD collection when you call 800, the letter A, and the word FAMILY, or donate, and, uh, get that CD set at /broadcast. As we get started, let me mention, this program is included in a set of 21 patriotic-themed Odyssey episodes that we’re offering, uh, when you make a pledge of any amount or a one-time donation of any amount today. ![]() John: (laughs) I do have a lot of, uh, Odyssey episodes memorized. But we did have six kids and lots of road trips, so I. We took a lot of trips, and those miles would fly by as we got distracted by the stories. John: Yeah, our family always enjoyed Odyssey for road trips, Jim. It’s an amazingly well-crafted radio drama for children of all ages, and I have to admit, I actually miss listening to Odyssey now that our boys are a little older and moving into college. And if you’re not familiar with Odyssey, uh, you’re truly missing out. So today, we’ve decided to feature an episode of our Adventures in Odyssey program, which will capture the essence of the American Revolution, as seen through the eyes of Paul Revere. ![]() Our independence was bought with a price. We’re commemorating the birth of our nation and the men and women who risked their very lives to separate from England and set up a government that allowed for religious freedom, among other privileges, that are enumerated in the Bill of Rights. Jim Daly: John, I think it’s really important to remember that the Fourth of July holiday, or Independence Day, is about more than barbecues and outdoor fun. John Fuller: As we approach the Fourth of July this weekend, we’ve got a really fun and unique Focus on the Family broadcast for you today with your host, Focus president Jim Daly, and I’m John Fuller. ![]()
