Pete -
It’s so easy in the midst of writing everything else to forget that it’s critical to write letters like this to our kid. A million people can write a book, but no one can write a dad’s letter to my daughters except me. Andy Stanley convicted me of that at catalyst two years ago. And you just reminded me too.
Thanks for that
Jon

Pete,

I was deeply touched by your letter to your son about this important event in his life. He and the rest of your children are fortunate to have a father like you.

Continue in your work.

I say this on Brandi's blog all the time, but as somebody who doesn't have children yet, it is so cool to watch you guys and learn how to disciple kids. You guys do an amazing job. Thank you for being so candid. .-= kristiapplesauce´s last blog ..Trash =-.

Wow Pete! What a wonderful thing for a father to get to do. How blessed you and Brandi must feel to have Jett accept Jesus in his life and be baptised. What a great set of parents you are!! .-= Tracey´s last blog ..Asthma….sucks =-.

[...] I really hesitate to post another link to Pete Wilson because every time I do, he writes a personal note of thanks, and he’s a busy guy. But I couldn’t ignore this one. Pete had the thrill of baptizing his son Jett last week, and wrote him a note on the blog. Here’s the part I don’t want you to miss: “God has an amazing adventure planned for you and I want to encourage you to trust Him at every turn. Over and over again you’ll face situations where you’ll be tempted to give into fear but I pray you’ll choose faith. You’ll be temped to control but remember freedom comes in letting go. You’ll be drawn toward comfort but I pray you’ll choose sacrifice. You will feel all alone but remember God promises that He will never leave you nor forsake you.” Read it all here. [...]

This was such a powerful moment. It was an honor to witness it. You and Brandi inspire me as you parent your boys… almost make me want to have kids… almost.

Wow. I pray and pray my husband will get to baptize our kids someday (they're all still very young) and that I will be there to see it! Good is good! .-= Abbie´s last blog ..Unblogging =-.

@Tom, thanks Tom. You’ve taught me a lot of these lessons over the years.
