6:15 comes early. (I was going to write something about the time change, but I’ll just throw it out there–I’m not a fan of 6:15. At least not the one that comes first in the day. The second one is fine, because I’m usually putting food in my face around Read more…
Seems like everywhere I turn someone’s talking to me about margin. As in, “Hey, you got any margin? If you don’t, you better get you some, jack.” (For the record, most of the made-up voices in my head sound like they’re from Redneck, GA or Duck Dynasty. And I like Read more…
I’m not really a meeting guy. Of course, some things come with the territory. When you’re part of a staff there are bound to be meetings. Some folks I know thoroughly enjoy meetings; I’m happy to meet as long as I think we’re gaining ground and making progress. The Calvary 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…
It’s late, and I should be in bed, but I wanted to drop this on you. I spent the past weekend in Dallas, TX (don’t be jealous–the only time I left the hotel was to go for a run in drizzly 45 degree weather). I was there for the 5-year Read more…
This is part 2 of a post that I started yesterday. As a newbie on this trip to the exotic, beautiful Dominican Republic, I was amazed at all the things my eyes were taking in. I was stunned by the beauty of the country, and the people…oh my goodness. I Read more…
I’d never been on a mission trip before we moved to Happy Valley. I know, that’s a shocker to some. For about 10 years, I was the youth pastor who’d never taken his teenagers to share the Good News with those lost souls in far off countries? How could I Read more…
