Hey everyone, just thought I'd let ya'll in on something I wrote a long time ago that Ashley said would be good to post for you.  here it is

We find ourselves looking at every issue we face as though it is of such great importance that we cannot just do but we must analyze every tiny fragment of information we have pertaining to it. We place ourselves in a position of great importance so that we feel as though we are so important. We will not be satisfied with sitting back and enjoying the freedoms that come with being unimportant and unneeded. We feel as though we must be needed by someone else in order to have a place in existence, as though we must find a way to be irreplaceable so that there is no chance of ever being unneeded. Without having an important place in society we feel lost and adrift with no possible reason for existence. We cannot be satisfied by having the freedom to do as we please, to a certain extent, without it affecting the life of someone else. An innate desire to be accepted dwells within us, a thing that is both a tool and a curse in our lives. It allows us to be a positive influence on society, but it also many times leaves us downtrodden and alone.

yeah, not shure if I still agree with all of it the way it is said, but you get what I mean.  I thought it was interesting when I read back over it recently.  comment on it if you would like.. I would be interested to see your responses.  That is, if anyone still reads my site.

In Christ,
Zach

Hey everyone, how's it going?

Yes, believe it or not I am making a post, but don't start thinking I'm doing it out of the desire to post in and of itself.  Truth is... It's Ashley's birthday!
So I decided to post to wish her a happy birthday.  Other than that, I don't really have that much to say.  Hope everyone has a great week!

In Christ,
Zach

Hey everybody, how's it going?

Yeah, the past few weeks have been extremely uneventfull.  You know, the usuall....  Hanging out with friends, going to church, doing mission work in New Jersey and New York, leading this one guy down the road to Christ, dating Ashley Orman..............  Okay, so maybe I lied.  Yeah, the past week and a half have absolutely ROCKED!!!  Both literally and metaphorically.  I'm in this state completely unknown to me of completely solid and unwavering peace and happiness.  It has to be one of the best times God has ever blessed me with.  It's absolutely amazing.  I just wish I could share it with all of my friends out there.  Oh, and as far as the suddenness with Ashley is concerned, trust me, God has been behind it for a lot longer than I had anticipated.  He has set this up and it's going great.  If you really want me to explain it too you just ask but be prepared for an hour long convorsation that only covers the obvious points.  It's really cool.  I  can't expain it as well as I wish I could even to those I know the best.  But that just makes it cooler. 

Anyway, I hope all of you out there can find happiness in the fact that at least two of your bretheren are celebrating immensely.  I would be glad for you to share in my joy.  I really hope you would.  Just search after Christ and you will have his peace and joy even through the hard times.  Jesus is the COOLEST!!  Yup, hope you guys can see that.  Make him your best friend, and He will treat you like His.  Trust me, that really rocks more than you or I can imagine.  You never know what he's doing and what's around the corner.  Take it from a guy with experience.

In Christ,
Zach

Hello everyone,

At the personal request of my dear friend Shannon, I am updating my Xanga.  I really don't have that much to say, but I would like to thank all of you fans out there for being loyal supporters of McCain and McCain industries.  (Where the heck did that come from??????)  Aside from that, I shall recite to you a poem.  *clears throught...... does voice exercises.... silences the croud with his hand....*  This is my poem, well, actually, it's my song.  But I shall proceed.

      Verse
I'm walking down this winding road, but I don't know which way to go.
Will someone help me, show me the way, I 'm tired of being led astray.

      Chorus
Show me the Way
Show me th Truth
Show me the Light
I see hidden in you (2x)

     Bridge
Why do you keep it hidden in you.
Why don't you let your light shine through

    Verse
Now I stand here all alone, but I don't know which way to go.
No one would help me, show me the way, I think they were all to afraid.

   Verse
I feel the fire, terrible flame, burning me in shame.
If you had told me, would I be here, am I really the one who's to blame



Anyway... it sounds much better when sung.  But that's cool.

See ya'll all later,
Zach

WHOAH, WHOAH, WHOAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Everybody put everything on hold! 

Amy, broke up with me, yes.  I was not very happy, of course.  But now I get online and I find many of my closest friends fighting each other about what happened to me!  Frankly, I'm sick of everyone's stupid arguments.  I was fine, and I realized that God truly does have a bigger plan for both my life and Amy's.  Besides, just becouse she broke up with me DOES NOT MEAN I don't still care about her.  I'll admit, the hardest thing about this has been that she broke up with me becouse I couldn't make her happy.  That was my second largest goal, second only to glorifying God.  I don't want all of my friends fighting over something that really is not that crazy.  Yes, I'm a little hurt, but anybody would be.  Yes, I was suprised by the suddenness of it, but that can't be helped.  My biggest issue is that no matter what you say hardly any of you are trying to serve God in this.  I appreciate the loyalty of my friends, and I want above almost anything else happiness and prosperity for you people, but as long as you keep arguing about something that happened TO ME, you won't have it!  So stop right now, forget anything ever happened, mend the wounds you have inflicted upon each other and start focusing on the one who really matters.......... not me OR Amy, but our glorious Father.  It's over, it's done, and you guys are only serving to prolong and make permantent the pain I and everyone else am feeling.  "Do all things for the glory of God."!

Love in Christ to all men,
          Zach
