Bittersweet Aftertaste; Carolina or Bust!

zac | September 28, 2008

It is hard to specify the excitement I have towards the future. It is like an adventure I know I am embarking on yet not really understanding what is going to happen. But it is also hard to say goodbye to Colorado. I really love this state. I was born here. I love the mountains, [...]

Propeller

zac | September 23, 2008

The past few days have been quite difficult. Mandy and I have been constantly on the move — even when we are not moving, our minds certainly are. There are lots of things to ponder and question. There are decisions that have to be made. And while we are confident in our larger decision to [...]

Don’t Get Cocky, Kid

zac | September 18, 2008

It seems there has been a lot of junk happening in our lives recently. It is as if someone is trying to interfere with progress. Makes sense, right? If we are truly following God we can only expect to have some difficulties. Jesus promised that right before His high priestly prayer:

Exciting Times

House is up for sale. Packing has begun. And now Tony has made me famous.

I am [...]

Packing and Dentistry

It occurred to me today that packing is like going to the dentist. It hurts a little, you find a lot of stuff you don’t want, and it takes altogether way too much time. Mandy and I are nomadic; we love to move around. But it is a pain. Again, kind of like the dentist’s [...]

The Perfect Job

zac | September 13, 2008

I realize it is a shock (grin) but we are moving again! This time it is far. Like really far. The story goes like this: I was looking for a job change. First, the instability of my current position was disconcerting. Second, the idea of being a traveling consultant became less and less appealing. I [...]

A Simple Equation

zac | September 11, 2008

I have met many new people in the past few days. It is uncanny how so many of them are so cool. Not like leather-jacket wearing, piece-of-hay-in-the-mouth cool but just real people who I have been able to connect with. In one conversation I had, the discussion of the call of God came up. I [...]

Fearfully Zealous or Zealously Fearful?

zac | September 4, 2008

There are many things in the world to be fearful of. As a husband, a father, and a leader, I try to be fearless whenever possible. I love to fly, I enjoy public speaking, and I enjoy being in places others think are dangerous. There are a few things that scare me, though. I am [...]
