Pain and Suffering – Zac Smith

May 24, 2010 in GOD, Life Change, Revolution Church with Comments Off

This Sunday we talked about pain and suffering at Revolution Church. You can listen to the message here.

But even more important than that, you could read these three blog posts from Zac Smith. Zac passed away just over a week ago from cancer. His story has been absolutely inspiring. And, he had a lot to say about pain and suffering as it relates to Christians during his last month of life here on Earth.

Read these posts now:

  • awesome weekend. Though I skipped church Sunday morning, I went to church at four different churches this weekend. First, I checked out a new church plant here in Kyle. Then, I went to church online at newspring church, life church, and central christian church. Crazy cool!
  • By the way, watch this video from Central Christian in vegas. It will make you bawl your eyes out if you love Jesus and want to see people connect in a real, growing relationship with Him! I cry every stinking time I watch it. THIS is what life is about.
  • Do you know a good worship leader? Or even better, an entire band? I need one…soon.
  • Got a dang good run in this morning. Marathon training starts soon…
  • the house is ALL TORE UP. Furniture all over the place, primer, paint, tools, a feather pillow that exploded…nice.
  • I miss my family. Big time. Only 14 days til I see them.
  • Got a lot of work done on Grill-Zilla with my expert welding buddy Seth Pennington this weekend. Seth is easily the most dedicated and hardworking guy I know. And, he’s one of my best friends. Love him to death.
  • Went canoeing today on Town Lake with my sister. Had a blast!
  • About to start painting.
  • DANG…I’ll sleep good tonight! 6 mile run, long canoe trip and painting all in one day. That ought to do it. :)
  • Reading Nelson Searcy’s book “Launch.” Good stuff.
  • Did I say that I miss Amber and Couper?
  • Got a BUSY BUSY week coming up!

  • The band was absolutely INCREDIBLE today. I would put the music up in our top ten Sunday’s ever. ROCKING!
  • It was SOOOO NICE to be back at The Connection Church this morning!
  • It was even cooler to be preaching! I preached over Romans 8:5-16. INTENSE STUFF. I’ll be posting more about it this week, so check back in.
  • We had Baptism at our neighborhood pool today. The river is all dried up. It had a little different feel to it, but all that matters is that lives are changed. Way to go Connection Church! Each week, lives are changed for the better because of your willingness to serve God and His vision for our Church!
  • My homies at Newspring Church launched a new campus in a new town this morning. Those guys challenge me to no end!  Go Newspring!
  • Also, my brother from another mother Alex Alexander launched a new campus with his church this morning. Alex is someone I look up to. I was praying for his Church last night and this morning I get a message that he is praying for me. What a classy guy; I needed prayer today.
  • That said, Bram Floria came backstage, put his hand on my back, and prayed for me this morning. He was a God send because I needed it today.
  • Rafael Marquez came up to me at Baptism and said, “Zak, I’m getting Baptized today because of how God spoke to me through your talk this morning.”  Man it is an incredible privilege to have the opportunity to get up and share about Jesus!
  • I am ready to blog like crazy this week.
  • I have a TON to do this week.
  • We finished planning our August series…all I’ll say is that it is going to be the HOTTEST Connection Church message series EVER!
  • I sold my old iPhone on Ebay and bought the new one on Friday. I’m loving it (the new 3G network is FAST) but the battery life is TERRIBLE. I’m going to have to buy a car charger, something I’ve never had.
  • It was awesome to see Rene’s face when we gave him his new drum set this morning. I’ll have video of it up this week.

Cupid Sucks

February 14, 2008 in Blogging, Family with Comments Off

For me, the bottom line on Feb. 14th is this:  I LOVE MY WIFE.  But, I want to SHOWER Amber with affection every day of the year; not just on Valentine’s Day.  Sorry Cupid, you suck.  I won’t even see my sweetie today because I showed my love to her by flying her back home to Lubbock and giving her a day at her old beauty shop for Valentine’s Day.

I was going to post more thoughts about Valentine’s Day today, like everyone. But then I read Perry’s post.  And it’s just TOO STINKING GOOD…there’s no point in me posting when he NAILED it!

So go, check it out now!
