Chapter 3: Intimacy

 … “intimacy means togetherness, fellowship, and communion, as well as sharing a set of values and goals.” pg. 46

Zan talks about intimacy being at the center of our community. Our community starts first with our family.

We started homeschooling when Jonathan was only 3. We've spent the last 2+ years together really getting to know each other and building an incredible intimacy and community here at home.
