Since all the work we do is done on our own free time, family comes first and we move forward as time allows. While we want to be diligent and disciplined in our pursuit, we also know that Schaeffer would recommend that we not be mechanical. So we sometimes have to stop and admit that doing everything on our mind is not humanly possible. This is one of those times.
Due to our heavy backlog we have decided to put several projects on hold, including the Schaeffer 101 project, until we can figure out how to best accomplish them or if we should even cancel them.
The following is a list of the projects and a timeline starting from Dec. 2011 to 2013. If you are following a particular project this will be a good guide for you on the status. As we look back, even though we feel a bit behind, we are excited to see what God has done through these efforts. It always seems a bit funny to Jason and I when people tell us we are doing well, when we know the work is not quite where we want it to be, but maybe it is more what God is teaching us in those moments than how we feel. It is purely a labor of love and we hope that you have been blessed by the work.
