About Us

Not too much to say (at least not yet)... no long list of credentials... just a story that's worth sharing. I'm Adam Vaughan. My wife, Kelly, will also be sharing. We have 6 children. Our two sons, Lincoln and Tucker, have gone to be with the Lord. The remaining four with us are Emmiline, Eloise, Elliott and Charli. Charli is a triplet. Her brothers Lincoln and Tucker are identical twins. They're dancing with Jesus right now, and they're not sad about it at all!

tickle fight

"We have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men.  We are fools for Christ's sake."
1 Cor. 4:10

Nothing like a tickle fight to make you abandon EVERYTHING.
Dignity lost in laughter...
The roar draws a crowd...

It's contagious... you can't help but let face and belly join in too...
When it comes to laughter on Ridgegate, everyone wants a piece...
 Flying out of control... in the arms of love.
When our smalls are totally abandoned... when they release... their bodily functions are all out of whack. Alarming sounds go off...

It is quite a spectacle...
Everyone looks in wonder...
Unfortunately... as we grow so do our inhibitions...
We no longer invite the tickles that bring the foolish...
We want order and control.

Pastor and I have been talking much about what it looks like for us to live a life undignified.  We will keep asking that question.  We want to become fool's for Christ's sake.  

It's not easy being stared at... but just like with anything else... the more it happens the more you stop running from it... you learn to rest in the reckless...
Like smalls... I want to lie on my back in surrender... I want to be a woman of wild abandonment... welcoming holy laughter in all forms... I want to join Paul's ranks and be a spectacle for the King... 

Unhindered.
Fully alive.
Making waves.
Drawing crowds.
He's that good... He deserves an audience... it's an honor for it to be at my expense.
