Several months ago I wrote what I thought was a fairly witty blogpost about me being cast as Rev. Samuel Parris in the SCCT production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. My wit were wasted on several of our friends (including the family who adopted Isaac’s buddy!) as they thought that Read more
There was a day when I’d hear the phrase “running lines” and immediately think of needing to go check the lake to see if we’d caught any fish. These days it has a distinctly different meaning. I’m studying every night to learn my lines for my role as Rev. Parris Read more
It makes sense, I suppose. Summer is the season for weddings. I’ve been asked to officiate a few weddings this summer, and have another coming shortly. Last summer I think I inked my name to a record 10 marriage licenses! And it feels like everywhere I turn I’m running into Read more
I mentioned that I’d share some of the learnings from our/my interaction with Terry Walling. He was in town Saturday to share with a large group of leaders from all of Calvary’s worship gatherings, and he stayed through Tuesday, when he met with Calvary’s staff plus a few other local Read more
Today was a scrambly day. It’s the end of the school year, and a few days away from the start of summer, which coincides with a little vacation for Team Sublett. Yep, the big white van is headed to the beach, courtesy of a fabulous family who has decided to Read more

Kim called me several times today. Each time she found me in a meeting with one group or another. Tuesday is a meeting-heavy day if you’re part of Calvary’s staff, I suppose. And while I’m not really quick to self-identify, I’ve learned the value of facetime with quality people, and Read more
Our church has been working through Henry Blackaby’s Experiencing God. Pastor Dan’s been preaching up a storm and our lifegroups have been using the workbook to dig deeper, to dive in, to apply it to our lives. That sounds great on the surface, and usually works for me until Wednesday. Read more
When we do Highlight/Lowlight, it can be a little hectic. There are usually 9 of us around the table. The odds of something being spilled/launched/dropped/choked upon are fairly good. The chance of someone’s highlight or lowlight prompting a trip down a rabbit trail is fairly high. Kim called an audible Read more
My brother was a booty-kickin’ drummer in high school–I’m pretty sure he can still throw it down if he needs to! So I’ve always had a thing for drumlines. While I’m rhythmically challenged, I certainly enjoy those who can get their hands and feet all moving in different directions with Read more
