Rich visits the Focus On The Family Welcome Center and Bookstore in beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado, and provides you with an audio report.  

Frankly, a very banal and boring location, and because of that the report is not all that interesting, but since we have the audio, here it is for your listening "enjoyment."
