God is so good. Here is the video of my story that was used at NewSpring this week.
Thanks again to Adam Kring for making this creation. PS: I beat Adam in H-O-R-S-E while filming this.
Tomorrow Is Hope
zac | February 25, 2010
I, like most, had a best friend in junior high with whom I did everything. We hung out at our homes together and we shared common interests — like our Macintosh Plus games and science fiction movies. We had a saying or a motto that we said all the time and inscribed on our notebooks: [...]
Heaven Is More Than Enough
zac | February 15, 2010
I have spent many hours thinking and reflecting on what will happen to me upon my death. It occurs to me now that much of that has been quite selfish.
I suppose I have always wondered about heaven. What will it be like? There is so much we know about heaven from the Bible and there [...]
Trusting God & Chemo

So I am back in the chemo ward. I am now doing a maintenance regimen to keep the tumors on my liver dormant. That involves a similar strategy as before: Leucovorin and 5FU given once a day for five days straight; repeat every month. The purpose of this is simply for the liver and has [...]

On Sufficiency
zac | December 9, 2009
I have been feeling pretty weak lately. Chemo continues to take a toll on my body. Fatigue abounds. And through it all, the pain of the tumors in my abdomen is constant. I do not know how to quantify or qualify the pain except to say that the persistence of it has left me with [...]

So my lovely wife Mandy had her uterus removed this morning. She is now home safe and sound. While she was in the recovery room I made my way over to the Cancer Center next door to get poisoned.
Here is a song; sung to the chorus of Oingo Boingo’s Only A Lad; written while I [...]
