Charlie’s at the point in his life where he likes to go with me when I have to run errands. Most days it’s a happy father-son mini-adventure. Today’s voyage had a few more twists and turns than normal. And Sir Charles missed his afternoon nap. And lunch. Let me tell Read more
Have I told you that I’m the youth pastor again? I’m loving this, and even though we’re not where I want things to be in terms of how things are going, most days I go to sleep with a big goofy grin on my face. One of the key pieces Read more
I’m nearing the end of The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King. I have no idea how many times I’ve worked my way to this point. My mom (Thanks Mom!) gave me the series when I was 12. I’ve read them just about every year since. Paperbacks, Read more
I think it happened while we were in Florida. I’m not sure what they fed him or let him watch on tv, but Charlie changed while we were gone. We’ve been trying to potty train him, but I don’t think that has anything to do with it. The pee stains 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 don’t have a problem with the gift-giving, but being “forced” to shell out the dough Read more
Whew! What a whirlwind trip! Kim and I had a BLAST celebrating her parents’ 50th anniversary with the friends in Florida. While they’re in FL, Ken and Darla live in a community that makes a big deal of reaching the 50th anniversary. Families and friends are invited, scrapbooks are assembled, Read more
Although there was only about an inch of snow on the ground at 5:27 when Julie Miller’s automated voice called to inform me of the cancelation of school, it turns out they were right. We got about 10-12 inches of wonderful powder. It literally snowed all day, and Team Sublett Read more
My previous post may be misleading. The primary reason for our visit to the sunny south actually has very little to do with the coming of Spring Training, the impending snow storm, or our house being taken over by the teenagers. We’re going to celebrate Kim’s mom and dad’s 50th 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
