When I was in the 5th grade I wasn't allowed to join the youth group at my church. You had to be in 7th grade. Even though my Mom and Dad were the youth leaders I wasn't allowed to attend the meetings or go on the retreats, except for when the youth group went to Farm Life for the outdoor drama. I went every year! I was there when everyone sat on the lawn. I remember thinking that Jimmy was a perfect Jesus. I was lucky enough to speak with him after the play one year. I asked him if it was hard to be Jesus. He said "yes but I get to experence what it was like for Jesus and all he went through for us and that brings me closer to God." Watching that play with my Mom and Dad every year at Easter is one of the best memories I have. My Mom past away four years ago. I now have three children of my own. I hope someday we can travel up to NC so our children can see one of the greatest reinactments of Jesus' crucifixtion and resurrection there is! Please relay to the church that each and every participant in the play is so appreciated!! I can't imagine the time put into this production. The outcome of their hard work is the gift of eternal life in heaven! I've seen a non believer who has just watch this drama and it is an awsome thing to see God at work. Thank you for all you do!!

I believe Chet and I were with you on that night we sailed to Bath. It was a beautiful night and we went to the old cemetary that night by the light of the moon after the play.
Will stop by to see you one day soon. I know better than to wait to see you get by the Creek!
I saw Connie Buck on Easter and we started talking about you. She said, you and Jack were the only other cool people in B.C. besides Chet and me back then…. She remembered your sheep and your weaving and spinning. Why you're practically a legend here in Gilead.
Come visit us River Folks some time. We miss you!

Chloe,
There are plenty of my Williamston memories I try to forget, but your blogs remind me of the things that make me proud of being raised in a great community
Keep up the memories,
Butch
