Fathers matter. But I knew that already.

Why do I get the feeling that children from self-described families with two “fathers” do not learn a double dose of persistence?

I thought BYU was in Provo, Utah. When did it move to Orem?

Can you stick with a task? On Father's Day, you might thank Dad

So, like, what's the catch? The LA Times (the LA freaking Times?!) is publishing an article that acknowledges the value of fathers?

"...a more important debt we owe Dad might have little to do with barbecues on a Sunday and a lot to do with persistence: learning how to tough it out when things get rough."

Yep. Dad sure taught me that. In fact, I'll be toughing it out in the Texas sun on Fathers Day, finishing up a job.

Thanks, Dad. I wouldn't be half the man I am, without your guidance and living examples.
