Andy Konigsmark vs. Alex Rai: Preacher vs. Teacher
February 12, 2008
Last night’s episode of American Gladiators was a heartbreaking one for me. Obviously, you could probably guess that my good buddy Andy didn’t make it to the finals. It was Andy versus Alex: Preacher versus Teacher. The first event was the Hit and Run - Andy did pretty good at this last time, but he [...]

Many of you know that my wife Sarah applied to PhD programs last fall. Well, in the last few days, we found out that she was accepted into the Christian Spirituality PhD program at Graduate Theological Union (GTU) in Berkeley.

We don’t normally go to so many shows and events, but it must be the possibility that this is our last time to live in this area of the country, or perhaps we just felt like going a little crazy. But here are the cool things we’ll be doing between now and May.

Sarah and I have both been given permission to send out our Personal Information Forms (PIF) and so we’ve created websites that have some information about us (Adam and Sarah).

I first met Andy Konigsmark when he was the newly-hired youth pastor at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood (yes, that’s really the church’s name) in Sun Valley, ID. We collaborated on a Presbytery youth event called Hyperthermia, and got to know each other then. He came up to Whitworth University with me and [...]

Yesterday, I started up a PayPal Donation Option for those wishing to contribute to cover the cost of Aaron Reibe’s surgery for cancer.

We became a one car family.
Sarah and I went to one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to: Billy Joel in Atlanta.
We experienced one of Atlanta’s [...]
