Community….there is a deep sense of joy in me that is there because of having lived in this small town for almost 18 years. I was reminded of this tonight at a high school girls’ basketball game. I have such gladness in my heart that we raised our kids here and kept them in a stable home all these years. 

We will be moving later this year, and we feel ready in our spirits. Yet, this community will always be a part of us. That joy will forever remain.
