Thank you to everybody who donated through our Fathers Day Campaign. By now, you or your fathers should have received your packages. Because of you, we increased our monthly recurring donations by 20%. And because of you, several more church programs will be created through The Mentoring Project and those programs will mentor many, many more young men growing up without fathers.

On both Saturday night and Sunday morning, I will be speaking at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio. Oak Hills is Max Lucado’s church, and I’m looking forward to being with both Max and Randy Frazee and am honored to be able to visit with their people on Fathers Day. You can find out more on the church’s website, or you can watch the service live by clicking the live link on the church’s website.

The President is devoting a considerable amount of his time to talk about the importance of responsible fatherhood, and to [...]
My friend David Wenzel, who is inspiring all of us who know him right now, found out just last week that he has a tumor in his brain.

He’s remarkably creative and has probably been involved in some of your favorite media productions. So it shocked (and a little scared, to tell you the truth) us to hear that such a brilliant young mind had a tumor in it. One of the reasons we all love Dave is because when a situation becomes tense, Dave becomes calm. He’s a rock. Not that he has to be, because he doesn’t, but he’s just been there for a lot of people, and it’s nice for those of us to know him to be there for him now. Anyway, Dave is now at the Mayo clinic in Minnesota, but I thought you might appreciate the response letter he wrote the hotel he stayed at in [...]
