With all the news of big names and big dollars rolling around the sports world, I thought I’d bring you the latest update from Team Sublett. Tomorrow morning Charlie will officially be a signed member of Team Sublett. There’s no big-dollar contract coming his way anytime soon, though. And he was so excited about the big day that he couldn’t sleep tonight! I came home from worship team rehearsal around 11 to find him still awake, bleary-eyed and a little loopy, in Levi’s arms.

Tomorrow morning we’ll all head down to the county courthouse, where we’ll sit before a judge and promise to be family to Charlie. It seems like we’ve been doing that a lot lately. I am one blessed man. To think that the Lord would trust me to love and raise all these children…
We are not a perfect family–not by a long shot. But we are family. We love each other, believe in each other, cheer for each other, and care for each other. We rub each other wrong from time to time. But that’s the beauty of relationship; God uses those differences to show us where we need to grow, to give us opportunities to practice unity and grace-giving, to learn how to fight fair and reconcile. Kim and I have the wonderful privilege of teaching our children about faith and hope and love. We sit around the supper table and talk about real life stuff, hopes and dreams, highlights and lowlights. We laugh and play and fight and pray and sing and bake and do the stuff of life together. What a wonderful blessing my family is to me…
And some of you have had a part in this. Thank you. Words seem insufficient, but I’ll say them any way. Thank you for believing in us, for investing in us, for praying with us, for encouraging us. We are grateful for your partnership.
And several lives have been changed forever because of you.
