Stac’s Place

Lots of words to describe this weekend:

I spoke a TON–preached 4 services at Calvary, 2 chapel services for minor league baseball teams, and delivered the opening message for SOS (our sorta-city-wide youth camp)
put some kayaks in the water with Andy yesterday morning, followed by some good grub at the Bellefonte Waffle Shop. I love that [...]

but I’m back…
We went away for a little family vacation, and where we landed had no access to the interweb (ht SMM). In fact, we were about 30 minutes outside of the nearest town, at the very end of a dirt/gravel road. Kim booked us in a little cabin nestled on the Shenandoah [...]

The sermon series kicked off tonight, and the set looks great. Adam knocked off the Rubik’s Cube in no time at all, and he and Scott Mangene did a great job leading worship. I only wish that we had added some 80’s music to the set…I’ll have to watch that I don’t get [...]

Many thanks to those of you who were praying for us over the past few days.
Kim and I got home this evening, and we’re about ready to crash. Pap’s funeral was today. I got to lead the service, and it was an honor to lead people in celebrating Pap’s life, so full of [...]

Well, it looks like Happy Valley is in for another wet and gray 4th of July. The Sublett family has hosted a party for the families of our students for many years now. We have a great spot for viewing the fireworks over at the stadium, and a good backyard for hanging out.

Kim and I loaded the kids into the van and headed to Bedford today. Her grandfather, Pap George, is in what looks to be the last days of his life. Kim and the girls got to see him Sunday, but Levi was sick, and couldn’t visit. It meant a lot to Levi [...]

What is it that you want out of life? What do you hope for, dream about…what drives you to get out of bed each morning? What are you working for, living for?
For most of us, I am guessing that our lives revolve around shallow wants and desires–things that are important to us, but [...]

So I figured it out by the time we hit Bellefonte. Kim was on the phone with her sister, and she said, “The concert starts at 7:30…oops…”
BP=Brad Paisley. For the uninitiated, Brad Paisley is one of the top country singer/songwriter/guitar pickers in the world. He’s also a Jesus follower, and [...]
