Adam is a vagabond of the arts. He is an animator by training, a media specialist by vocation and a writer by hobby. Though he “still hasn’t found what he’s looking for”, in his wandering through the arts he has found the firm conviction that God has been writing His story through our stories since the beginning, and He’s not done yet. Adam and his wife Sarah have 3 children and live in Northern Colorado. His artistic interests range from G.K. Chesterton to Looney Tunes.

Oh my, Sooo good. Not surprising, as it comes from one of the biggest hearts I’ve encountered in my faith journey. May the Father father many through you, beginning with the ones currently on your knees, before He calls you home.
Wow!!!! Yes!
Thank you Sarah and Denise!
So very beautiful!
Thank you Diana!
