Many times the village is just something that exists without effort - or maybe it used to be. Travis and I also enjoyed a large extended family. The other constant village has been the church. Of course schools also become that village with teachers and administrators that have a hand in our kids lives. All these are important and vital to the growth and health of our kids and us as adults.

I’m thankful that we have the capability to connect online - even though it is not quite the same, maybe it will get us through this bump in the road. I think most of us have learned that we truly miss the way it used to be. I’m praying it will be that way again.

Whatever the case, the Village Needs You. Do your part to encourage your village.
