Team Sublett has suffered a terrible loss. March 15 was the day we first heard about a pregnant lady in a far off state who was interested in finding a family to adopt her baby girl, due to be born near the end of May. Kim passed the info around her adoptive Read more
Once a year Calvary decides to cancel our weekend worship services, pick up our rakes and shovels and paintbrushes, and go serve our neighbors. It’s really a humongous undertaking. It’s also one of the highlights of the year. This year we decided to throw an overnight party for the youth group Read more
I had two out-of-the-ordinary conversations today. The first was with some grandparents from our church. They’d been wondering what was going on for youth (they have a few headed toward 6th grade) and had no idea. So they asked me to lunch and plied me with questions. They had definite Read more
One of the things that I find most exciting about my job is the fact that I am part of the team of people shaping the next generation of leaders. That’s also one of the pieces of Calvary’s OneByOne Initiative that gets me jazzed–being directly influential on the next generation. Read more
It began with Kim recording “indisputable video evidence” of me snoring. While I failed to see the humor in it, she seemed quite delighted with herself. We spent a good (not really good) portion of the day chasing down expired drivers licenses, renewing expired vehicle registrations, and trying to figure out which Read more
Levi and I got the chance to lead worship tonight for our student ministry. We had a blast! Folks were singing loudly, clapping, dancing around…it was fun for us to get to play together. My buddy Kevin took this picture of us during sound check: Check out our faces–identical! And Read more
When it’s just us in the room, Charlie is a ham. He gets silly and goofy and cuts up like crazy. But when other folks are around, our little dude tends to get shy. We’re working hard to make sure that he isn’t rude, but he definitely holds back. Tonight 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
Levi and Lilly (and the State High Thespians) presented Children of Eden tonight. It’s Levi’s senior show. We are rapidly coming to the end of his high school theatre run. It’s been such a good experience for him, and for us. I’m planning to spend a couple of days exploring some Read more
I’m blogging from my phone. Comcast says we have a working internet connection. Our experience is quite the opposite. That being said, tonight’s post is going to be short. This morning I read a huge promise from the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church at Corinth. It’s a promise/principle of Read more
