Since The Wiz ended Levi and Lilly haven’t been out of the house. The Emerald City Flu bug made a nest in their innards, and they’ve been wearing out a path from bedrooms to bathrooms. Graciously, there are no pictures accompanying said report. I still don’t know what to think Read more
Months ago the high school theater department announced that the spring musical was going to be The Wiz. My first thought was, “Uh oh. Somebody’s got to be Michael Jackson.” Nobody in State High’s Thespian troupe has the Michael Jackson gene. We netflixed (that’s a verb now, isn’t it?) The Read more
You might not have noticed it, but the calendar tells me that it’s spring. Baseball is back, but it still looks and feels like hockey season outside my window. There were snow flurries today in Happy Valley. While I’d love to be outside playing catch, shooting hoops, or going for Read more

While this is less than ideal, it’s time to start getting the word out: I accepted a position as a pastor of a small church in Salem, MA. It’s an old-school, Puritan church, and although this will be a difficult transition for me and my family, we are genuinely excited Read more
I’m not sure what the reason, but I feel like I’m off my rhythm tonight. It could be that I leave for the Dominican Republic in the imminent future. I packed tonight, or at least for the most part. We carry all of our clothes and personal stuff in a Read more
Sadie and Isaac got their first taste of Middle School drama over the past weekend. And unlike the Mean Girls scenario that you’ve got playing on a loop in your brain, this was the bestest kind of drama. Surrounded by a stellar cast, directed by a wonderful encourager of budding Read more
I always figured Kim or I might land some speaking deals based on our adoption journey. God has taught us a lot, and we love to talk. But the first member of Team Sublett to actually score a speaking gig is our very own Josie! She got to tell a Read more
