Life in Granville County is slower than that of Her southern neighbor, Wake County. We tend to cultivate fewer soccer moms, enduring the hustle and bustle of Raleigh traffic to get where their children need to be for various academic and extracurricular activities. At the same time we seem to cultivate relatively more time watching the sunset from our porches, and listening to the crickets in the summer evenings. It is not such a bad life, but you must be in tune to the Lord, as there are fewer man-made stimuli to distract you.
We may not sit in church many more hours per week, but His Words resonate with us more in our quieter moments, if only because we have more of them. And that resonance sustains a dear and cherished friendship.
David, 7, is beside me, working on a castle to house a transformer of his. He has just about got it finished. We are sitting in the sun-room, on the southeastern side of our home.

Yesterday, David, Christopher (11), Nathaniel (17), and I went to a park. I will upload a few photos from that time.
Here is Christopher on his giraffe unicycle:
And here are David and Christopher playing down by the water's edge.
