Who's your Wilson?

We were recently playing cards with friends and someone mentioned you can’t be a Christian in a vacuum. I chimed in, “Everybody needs a Wilson.”
Incredibly, three of us were thinking of different Wilsons! (Of course, the women were of one mind.)

Wilson one –from the movie Castaway. When Tom Hanks was alone on the island, he actually made a friend and almost drowned trying to save a volleyball with a handprint on it.

Wilson two-from the show Home Improvement. When Tim Taylor had a problem he couldn’t solve, he often went to the backyard to talk it over with his neighbor Wilson, whose face always remained hidden.

Wilson three-from the Fox series House. Dr. Gregory House, rude and self-centered, yet a genius at solving illnesses, has an oncologist friend named, you guesses it, Wilson. Wilson often inadvertently gives House the answer to his medical mysteries during conversations in his office.

So, my question remains: Who is your Wilson?
I’d like to say a special thank-you to my Wilson (you know who you are.)
