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
Last week was Valentine’s Day, or St. Valentines’ Day, or some occurrence fabricated by Russell Stover and Harry Hallmark (I don’t know his real first name) to make dudes buy gifts for their lady-friends. 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 was 12, wearing my dad’s sweatshirt, arms hugging my legs, knees pulled in tight to my chest, rocking on a chair in the living room. My momentum crossed the balance threshold and I found myself facedown on the tile floor. That was the first time that I broke my Read more
Oh man, do I wish I had a picture of this. We had a not-so-unique situation at our house today. Our washing machine has decided to take a couple of days off. Quite coincidentally, our darling children took this opportunity to deliver the stockpile of all the dirty clothing they’d Read more
Hi, I’m Stacy, and I’m the parent of a middle-schooler (or 3)… Have I mentioned that I’m the youth pastor at my church, again? One of the things that I want to do differently this time around is the way we partner with parents. After all, it’s the parents who Read more
I’m not really a suit guy. It’s a good thing that I go to a church that isn’t a suit church. Shoot, there are lots of Sundays that I’m not even wearing shoes on stage when I lead worship. But over the last few days I’ve gotten my money’s worth Read more
