You’ve probably never heard of George Weiss. However, he served as a real source of inspiration for me today. Mr. Weiss is an inventor.

What thought comes to your mind when you read this? We CAN end poverty. While I think most people like the idea of fighting poverty when it’s convenient, I seriously doubt many of us actually think it’s beatable. What if I told you I believed it is possible for the Church to end extreme poverty [...]

Last Thursday night I took one of my weekly trips to Lowe’s. I can’t even remember exactly what I needed but there’s something about Lowe’s that I just love. I could spend hours walking around that place coming up with things I “need.” After I found what I was looking for I headed to the [...]

Reason #12: Because I love string cheese. No self respecting adult can have string cheese in their fridge unless there is at least one child under the age of 7 in the house. I’ve done the math and I’ve got another good 12 years of string cheese ahead. I love my kids and my [...]

I ran across this video of my middle son, Gage, trying to explain Genesis 3 to me a couple years ago. I love his hand gestures and dramatic pauses. Adam and Eve from Pete Wilson on Vimeo. Hearing Gage talk about Adam blaming Eve got me thinking. I love to blame. I love to pass [...]

We’ve been in a series at Cross Point on Heaven entitled “Glimpse”. This series has stretched me in a way I haven’t been stretched in a while. It’s been fun because we’ve had so many discussions at home with the kids about heaven. My 10 year old is especially interested. Just a few of his [...]

I’m really excited to help spread the word about a super important issue in our culture and a small way you can take part in combating the problem. Particularly fathers.
