in a country church, tucked in between the sheep farm, the chicken farm, and the corn, Kimberly Rhodes became my wife. I don’t know what persuaded her–the mullet or the moustache. But for whatever reason, my life has been blessed.
Kim’s an incredible listener, and a wonderful mentor. I’m never surprised when young ladies come to [...]

aaaaand we’re back

Hello Sara and Malea. I’ve missed you…
Our trip to the DR was fabulous on so many levels. We got some good work done for the Rose of Sharon Orphanage, spent countless hours loving on the boys and girls there, and the guitars made the trip without a scratch! The day before our trip, a donor [...]

saying goodbye to the life group
June 11th, 2010 · 1 Comment
Kim and I met with our life group for the last time tonight. It was god, but sad. We’ve grown to be especially fond of those folks. Many of them served with us in student ministry over the past years, and they will always hold a special place in our hearts. Others joined the group [...]

sometimes we just need a little space
June 10th, 2010 · No Comments
I was on my way to the office today. My normal route is not the fastest way there; I like to take the slow road, because it takes me along the creek, and this time of year it smells great. (side note: my nose doesn’t work for most smells, but I am thankful for the [...]

2 guitars and counting
June 9th, 2010 · No Comments
Yesterday I asked for people to get in touch with me if they’d like to donate an acoustic guitar to the orphanage that we support in the Dominican Republic. I’ll be traveling there next week with my daughter and a group of very excited graduating senior girls. It’s one of the highlights of our year, [...]

Lilly and I are leaving the country and I want your guitar.
June 8th, 2010 · No Comments
In a week’s time, Lil and I will be in the Dominican Republic. I’ve been going to the DR with Calvary for about a decade (with a few years missed due to baseball), but this is Lil’s first trip. She’s heard all the stories, seen all the pictures, and prayed for loads of children there [...]

a lesson from 3rd graders in kickball
June 4th, 2010 · No Comments
Today was D.O.N.U.T.S. for Dads day. Did you celebrate? Maybe it was only Sadie and Annabelle’s class that observed the holiday, but it was kickin! I can’t remember what the acronym DONUTS stands for, but it was big and bold on a handpainted sign, welcoming all the dads to the class, celebrating and honoring us. [...]

i cut my own hair, thank you
June 3rd, 2010 · No Comments
No, seriously, I do. I used to go to the barber shop, but I’ve recently started cutting my own hair. I know, I can hear you saying, “It looks like it, too!”
I used to cut Levi’s hair. Kim is violently opposed to the buzz cut, and one little nick to his ear left him slightly [...]

my baseball guys grow up
June 2nd, 2010 · No Comments
I coached baseball at State High for 6 years. A few years ago, I stepped out of that role so that I could be more present with my own kids, and that has been one of the best decisions that I’ve ever made (next to asking Kim to marry me!)
That being said, hardly a day [...]

a weekend worth remembering
June 1st, 2010 · 1 Comment
Memorial Day is all about remembering, and our weekend was certainly one for the Sublett family history books. We played all weekend, laughed a lot, created some great memories, and even cried a little.
The weekend broke all hot and humid, so after a rousing game of foursquare in the driveway, I took the kids over [...]
