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…
Last year on this very night we were parading up and down the hallway of our hotel in Guangzhou, knocking on the doors of our new friends who were adopting babies. We had our new tweenager all decked out, teaching him the finer points of begging for candy from relative Read more…
I’m working on some talks I’ll be giving this weekend to a bunch of Penn State grad students, but I had to take a break to tune into the Steelers game. Many moons ago there was a young PSU linebacker hanging around our student ministry. He would have made a Read more…

The first came for Lilly. Today was her 14th birthday, and she unexpectedly encountered some germs. She celebrated by staying in bed all day with a sinus/ear infection. Yay! She thought she was coming down with something last week during Fiddler. I guess she was. Her birthday wasn’t a total Read more…
No, I’m not learning to play bluegrass fiddle, although I’d join a bluegrass group in a heartbeat. I’m talking, of course, about the recent production of Fiddler on the Roof. It was the first show that I’ve been in since I was a junior in high school. I have a Read more…
