I have missed getting together with everyone also. I am hopeful that the Monjure's moving closer to us will help. I think having two of us close together spurs us to get everyone together. It seems like just since you guys have been in Lawrenceville it has been harder to get everyone on the same page.
I may be wrong on this, but I feel changing the physical attributes of community may be a life-long venture, a legacy for the future. Not that we can't make or enjoy changes now, but our current situations are ingrained over 2-3 generations. In wanting to change that, we need to make sure we get things going the right way rather than hastily making changes that again may take 50 years to undo. Folks can't change trades, purchase rural tracts, sell houses (brand new!), start churches, etc. in a matter of months or even a couple of years. That said, we have been slack lately in our quest to determine what real community is.
