Pave The Planet

zac | December 13, 2009

I love this passage in Isaiah:
Isaiah 40:3-5 — A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a [...]

Thanksgiving 2009

‘Tis the season to be thankful. I’m thankful for:

My God and His love for me — my relationship with Him has blossomed over the past few months; He has been speaking to me in new and interesting ways; that keeps me going

Fathers & Sons & Denver Broncos

zac | November 23, 2009

I had the great joy of taking my two sons and my father to the Denver Broncos game yesterday. It was a blast to hang out with them for several hours and create a life-long memory. I still remember going to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City with my dad and my grandpa when I was [...]

Kiddish Perspectives On Dying

I have been having some amazing conversations with my three children over the past few days. They are all brilliant; I am blessed to know them. I asked them what they were thinking about cancer, dying, heaven and God.

Jake & Luke Baptism

zac | September 13, 2009

Today was a momentous day for my two sons. Jake, 8, and Luke, 6, were baptized today. As if that were not cool enough, I had the pleasure of baptizing them.
Baptism, as I understand it, is a symbolic act of obedience in order to publicly claim one’s allegiance and belief in Jesus. Both of my [...]

What Worries Me

zac | July 19, 2009

It would do us all well to ponder this question:
Luke 12:25 — And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
If we worry enough, will we live longer? Another way to translate this phrase above is: And which of you by being anxious can add a single [...]
