Do you remember those Jeff Foxworthy jokes? I loved ’em. I loved ’em so much that I bought the cd from a truck stop somewhere in Virginia just so I could laugh all the way home.
Here’s a new one for you: If you’re a member of Team Sublett, you might be a redneck.
It was a pretty wild two weeks around these parts. I killed the biggest deer of my life with a bow and arrow, took my 11 year old daughter into the woods in a successful doe hunt, spent hours in the backyard/kitchen butchering those 2 deer, and took most of the fam out in the rain to cut our own Christmas tree.
Now to be fair, we do live within sight of the former Farmer’s High School of Pennsylvania, and the Penn State pig farm is a stone’s throw from our back door.
On the flip side, Levi took part in a production for a Troupe of Down’s Syndrome kids, and Kim, Josie, and I went to hear the best singers at State High team up with the Pennsylvania Centre Orchestra and Anne Sullivan (Harpist) for a concert to benefit WPSU. I think the audio is online. It was broadcast live, and will be re-aired on Christmas Day. Click here to download it now!
We got the Christmas Tree up and decorated, and Charlie is loving it! He plays with a nativity set (see the car that’s apparently now part of the story!) and has taken a liking to the piano. He’s such a goober…
There are lots of good things going on with Team Sublett, but we’re definitely feeling some pushback in the spiritual realm. That’s an area of life that’s easily overlooked, at least for me. This week month has been a pretty glaring reminder that the Christmas season isn’t about visions of sugarplums dancing; it’s more like a knock-down, drag-out fight. The coming of Jesus as a baby born to be King is without a doubt the most radical and revolutionary event in history, and the effects ring through the ages.
I’ll post some pics of our best redneckin’ moments. And if you’re like me, felling a little resistance in the spiritual realm this Christmas season, remember that we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. The fight is real; the battle rages. But we have been given everything we need to fight the good fight. So fight.
