Well, sort of.
We have a Plott Hound named Dasher, and he is a beautiful brindle-coated year and a half old coon dog. We bought him from friends who breed, raise, hunt, and show Plotts. They have been very successful, and they have asked to borrow the Dash for a weekend show. [...]

We’ve moved our Wednesday night middle school meeting out to Harvest Fields for the summer. Last week we celebrated the end of another school year with a fabulous 6-hole goofy golf course, using a different type of ball for each hole. 1 solitary 8th grade guy showed up. We were glad to [...]

I get to officiate at the wedding of some good friends this weekend. Megan and Neil both served in our student ministry before stepping out to lead a life group at Calvary. Kim and I have been meeting with them to talk through some pre-marital stuff–everything from finances to communication skills to [...]

Daph was the oldest of the Sublett pets. She was an orange long-haired cat [...]

I’m somewhere between the old machine and the new. I have a lot of [...]

Oh yes! I feel like Navin R. Johnson–
The new phone books are here! The new phone books are here!

Man, that’s got to be one of the best book titles ever. I had heard about the book, and heard a talk from Mark Batterson online a while back. But I just got the book, and I am digging it.
I find myself asking some tough questions to my heart and soul. [...]

Karl tagged me with this. He found this game on Jason Powell’s blog. Open iTunes or your ipod, hit shuffle, and list the first 15 songs that play. Points are deducted for cheating, which I did, sort of. I pulled out a couple of sermons that found their way into the [...]

The Spikes are back in town. Well, none of last year’s players are back, but that’s because the Spikes are the short-A minor league baseball team for the Pittsburgh Pirates this year. Last year we were in the Cardinals’ organization. They swapped teams.
The Spikes had an open house of sorts yesterday, [...]
