Stac’s Place

Last week was our summer camp.  We stole the idea from my buddy Sean’s church a couple of years ago, and I think our version of SOS is starting to get legs of its own.
Here’s the scoop:  We used to charge a lot of money to take kids to a retreat center, bring in a [...]

No, Kim’s not pregnant.  But this has been a remarkable week for the Sublett family in PA.
Last week, Kim got an email from our adoption agency about kids who were waiting to be adopted.  We don’t usually get these emails, so Kim began to read the bios and look at the pictures.  One picture took [...]

Whew, the day certainly had a lot of things crammed into it…
*Levi came home today.  He was visiting Kim’s parents for the past 2 weeks, working at their campground.  I missed his guts.  It was kind of fun to text him each day to see how things were going.
*Sadie had a lead role in a [...]

My wife (and Sadie) have a little garden in the corner of our yard.  Our neighbor (also named Kim, so we call her Kimmy) planted some things in the front of her yard.  Kimmy’s garden has been sabotaged by rabbits; our garden remains safe from Peter Cottontail and his family.  Kimmy has been asking people [...]

Our church has been in a series through the book of James.  One of the major themes that James writes about is FAITH.  Earlier this week I wrote about God’s promise in Micah to heal faithlessness.  This week I’ve been reading Hebrews–chapters 11 and 12 are chock full of faith stuff.  Seth Barnes wrote 2 [...]

Facebook is a somewhat wonderful thing, I suppose.  But I had a weird experience at Midtown Sunday.
A couple of our former students were back in town.  They moved to the town where Kim and I used to live, so I’ve looked through their facebook pictures to see if I recognize any of the places they’re [...]

Last week we finished Hosea as part of our LifeJournal Bible reading. A phrase from chapter 14 has been rolling around in my heart ever since:
The Lord says,
“Then I will heal you of your faithlessness;
my love will know no bounds,
for my anger will be gone forever.
That gets me fired up!  I want the [...]

We were at the Spikes game tonight. At first it was just me and Sadie. She asked me a couple of times about the pizza give-away that the Spikes always do during the game. I told her to be patient, that it hadn’t happened yet. Lilly and Kim made their way [...]

I’ve never had a guitar busted, but my brother brought me an amp a few years ago, and the airline busted part of the amp. They claimed that it must have been like that when he brought it to them to load.
12,000+ people have watched this video. I don’t know how the story [...]

Today was pretty sweet.  Kim and I joined some new friends to take our kids to the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts kids’ day.  I guess our Arts Fest is a pretty big deal, but I have to admit that my expectations were pretty low.  We’ve lived here for 11 years, and I’ve managed [...]
