Adam's Goals

My nephew, Adam Langford, died tragically, in a vehicle accident, while serving as a missionary in Jinja Uganda. He was 28 yrs old and we are heartbroken over our loss. He leaves us his vision of what he wanted in life, and we saw him glorifying God as he accomplished these goals.

Goals in Life
Play college soccer -done
Get a good degree- done
Ski for a season, after college- done
Get a job in the world of finance- done
Get a MBA or JD from a prestigious school.
Live overseas for an extended period of time, either work in schools or mission work.*
Get married (marry over my head)
Learn a second Language *
Write a book
Live a life worth writing a book about*****
Do consulting and motivational speaking*
Have kids
Be the greatest husband and father I could possibly be
Acquire a piece of land in the mountains & open up an adventure retreat and camping(?) business
Be Christ-like, even if it means never accomplishing the goals listed above*****
* Adam was accomplishing these goals day by day.
Adam, you did it, you obtained the ultimate goal.
