I’m pretty sure that the first time I heard that line was in the Brooke Fraser/Hillsongs song Hosanna. It rolls out in the chorus, and it hit me like a truck. Pastor Dan referred to the source of the quote this past weekend. It comes from Bob Pierce, founder of Read more…
It’s that time of year again. The turning of the calendar leads us to stop, take stock of our lives, and make some mid-course changes/corrections. I think that’s a good thing. I don’t usually make New Year’s resolutions, but I do appreciate the reminder that I need to examine my Read more…
I had to chuckle at us as we cruised into the Young Men’s Christian Association tonight…me with my three Chinese kiddos in tow. We had a good discussion about the origins of our community athletic association and their initial operational intent. Did you know that the YMCA was founded in London Read more…
The time between semesters is a weird one in a college town. While there’s lots of activity around Christmas, it always feels a little off to me, since a good portion of the people I worship with every weekend head to other parts of the globe for a couple of Read more…
Kim’s parents made the trek to Happy Valley this evening for Levi’s Master Singers Concert. I know…you think your high school choir was the bomb-diggity. I thought my musical background was pretty good. Then I heard Levi’s choir crush songs like this and this. When I was in high school Read more…

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 Read more…
I got to speak to Calvary’s college student group last night (Elements) as they wrap up their study of Genesis. I got to close things with a look at the life of Joseph (chs 37-39, 41-50) and the ultimate rollercoaster ride that was his real life experience. I’ll be honest–I Read more…
Team Sublett logged some serious miles over the last few days. We loaded the fam into a magnificent 15 passenger van (thanks Bob & Grace Prep!) and rolled in style. Being able to transport the entire fam in one vehicle was a minor miracle. I was totally prepared to either Read more…
