I’m not sure how many times it has to happen before we can officially call it a tradition, but for the third time in four years Team Sublett and various friends descended on the big pond at Harvest Fields to celebrate Memorial Day. We had boats in the pond, weiners Read more…
Our daughter Josie turned 17 yesterday. She spent most of the day in a car, traveling back from the US Rugby high school national tourney. Our own State High girls rugby team was scrumming it up. They brought home the 6th place trophy, which is pretty stinking impressive. The young Read more…
Children of Eden has come to a close, and with the final bow, Levi is ever so near the end of his high school thespian career. It’s been wonderful, full of great friends, beautiful performances, and life lessons. Being part of this troupe has provided a sense of community and Read more…

When is the last time you have felt truly and fully rested–recharged and renewed and reinvigorated? Steve pointed out several of our bad habits and practices. I know Read more…
Tonight was a milestone in the life of our youth group and youth ministry of our community. When I moved to town 15+ ago, there were a few youth pastors already getting together to pray, and once a month they’d gather their respective groups for a night of worship and Read more…
We had a full house tonight on a couple of different levels. Kim and I kicked off a new lifegroup a few weeks ago, just in time for the wrath of that chick from Frozen to land squarely on Happy Valley! We’ve been hit or miss with attendance, but tonight Read more…
I have a buddy named Ben. He’s a pastor, too, and we played baseball together in college. Lest that sound more impressive than it is, we went to a really small Bible college, and we weren’t very good at baseball (but our pre-game prayers were slammin’!) That being said, Ben Read more…
