Fixing the usability of something that has no value does no good. Re-branding something that has no value does more harm than good. --Steve Moitozo II

2010 has been the most transitional year of our lives. We moved from our house in Maine to an apartment in North Carolina. We built a house and then moved from our apartment into our house. Steve began his job with JAARS and traveled to San Francisco, Germany, and Singapore. The boys made friends and explored their new home state. And Glenda set up house in two places and began her job(s) at JAARS. We praise God for navigating all this change for us and through it all showing that He will take care of us with great care.

Thinking in isolation and with pride ends in being an idiot. --G.K. Chesteron (Orthodoxy, p.54)

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him. --John Piper

There are certain para-church organizations that the church needs that a church, no matter how big it got or how talented it got would never be able to do... I could get the smartest people we have [in our church of 6,000 people] and we're never going to be able to translate the Bible into some language of a people group. --Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor, The Village Church (From the Q&A with Chandler, Driscoll, and Chappell at Advance '09, beginning at minute 34:52 of the panel discussion)
