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
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
Archery season ended Saturday in PA. Once again, the deer herd was largely un-maligned by my best efforts. Despite being skunked for yet another season, fall is my favorite time of year to be in the woods for a variety of reasons. I get to see the woods go from green Read more

My dear friend Erica dropped this on us today, from Isaiah 28: 5 In that day the Lord of hosts will be a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people, 6 and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back Read more
Earlier in the semester Team Sublett signed up to have an international student from Penn State come over to eat supper with us. Our church is pretty active with international students, and seeing as our family is literally 1/3 international students, we figured this would be a good fit. Kim Read more
I’m pretty sure it was about 6th grade. We had recently moved to Georgia, fleeing the floodwaters of New Orleans. My friend David sent me off with the following: I hope the devil doesn’t come back to GA, cause you can’t play the fiddle. I was fairly certain that there Read more
