With William Lane Craig, one of the top Christian philosophers in the world.

As far as my hobbies, some of them include Bible study, video games, weight lifting, and eating lots of pizza (now that I no longer have to make weight for wrestling). I also like to travel. I have been to China, Japan, Ireland, Germany, Greece, New Zealand, Hawaii, Haiti (for a mission trip), Italy, and more... But the best place I have ever visited is Israel. It was so cool to see the places where Jesus and the apostles actually walked!

My home page must first begin with a section regarding my faith in God. Without God, nothing else is significant anyway... If you have an interest in exploring the possibility that Christianity is true, it is my hope that something on this website will speak to you. If you have already accepted Jesus, I'm sure that you will find some of these links to be great resources. Should you have any questions about anything, or if you would like to discuss why I am absolutely convinced that God exists and the Bible is God's Word, feel free to email me. It would be my pleasure to hear from you.

• Every now and then some thought will pop into my head--yes, I know that it's hard to believe--that I think is cool, or I will hear someone else say something that I think is worth sharing. So I put together a "cool thoughts" page. I obviously didn't put a lot of cool thoughts into choosing a creative title for the page, but hopefully the page itself has some cool thoughts!
• Some years back, I went on a mission trip to Haiti. This was an incredible experience, and this page will give you a taste of what it was like.
• If you suspect that there is no good reason to believe that Christianity is true, then a great resource to explore the evidence for God is on Dr. William Lane Craig's site Reasonable Faith. Dr. Craig is, in my opinion, the world's best Christian debater, philosopher, and defender of the rationality of the Christian faith.
• Executable Outlines is one of the best sources for Bible study lesson outlines that I've found. You're really missing out on a wealth of Bible insight if you don't check this out.
• The Bible Gateway is an awesome online Bible reference where you can look up any verse(s) in the Bible. It even includes many different translations (NIV, King James, etc...).
• Mark Copeland's Bible Resources Link Page provides you with many great links in many categories.
• Free Christian Library is an excellent nondenominational source for thousands of Bible facts and truths. A great reference for learning the Bible.
• Sermon Archive contains over 6000 articles, sermon outlines, and complete sermons. Indexed and searchable.
• Everything You Ever Needed to Know About the Bible is an excellent source of information about the Bible and why you should believe that it is God's word.
• The Origin and History of the Bible (by Fred Ragland). Interesting information on the history of the Bible.

  
  Neat Christian song and a video...
  

• "The Champion" (Carman) When I was a kid, I used to go to this church camp every summer. One of the coolest things I can remember about that camp was when two of the camp instructors acted out the drama to this song of Jesus overcoming Satan. All of the campers enjoyed it so much that they did it again later in the week. It really brings back memories of a good time in my childhood (that was the week of camp when I became a Christian). I hope you enjoy the song. It really does do a good job of depicting Jesus' victory over Satan. It is always important (and encouraging) to remember that Satan failed and is already defeated.
• Here is a well-done video of "The Champion" and some other music that somebody put together. Doesn't it get you all keyed up to go give the devil a beat down??

This is a program I wrote in Perl that will give you a list of possible words for almost any scrambled word that you enter. It can be quite useful for those people who get frustrated by the "word unscramble" puzzle in the morning paper. In order to prevent your insanity, I put my word unscrambler program online for you.

Although I am by no means a singer, I created a song that you might get a laugh out of (especially if you are familiar with the sport of wrestling)... It's a wrestling parody I made that is a takeoff on a song that is already a parody...

• The original version of the song is called "Gangsta Paradise" by Coolio.
  
• Weird Al later did a humorous parody of this song called "Amish Paradise".
  
• Now, "Weird Zach" has created the latest installment in the series: "Wrestler Paradise". (Sorry... I haven't made a video out of it - just the song)

If you check out the other two before listening to mine, you'll see where it's coming from... Although I won't say the singing in my version is any kind of improvement, I think I managed to parody most of the wrestler stereotypes (and I can do that since I'm a wrestler)...

If you're REALLY bored, feel free to check out my picture page.

This (admittedly) stupid game, which I created myself, will allow you to take out your frustrations by blowing me up. Please understand that you play this game at your own risk, and I will take NO responsibility for any brain cells that you may lose as a result of playing... Zach Attack.

This is another simple Perl program I wrote. For those of you who enjoy lifing weights (OK maybe only 1 out 100 people that are reading this, but anyway...), you might find this useful. It will calculate your weightlifting max given the number of reps you can do at a certain weight. For example, let's say I know that I can do 10 reps of 300 pounds on the bench press. My program will tell you how much weight you can max out at (your one rep max).

• Sarah Brightman in the Phantom of the Opera. That last note is AMAZING. Don't lose interest after the 2 minute intro...

• Charlotte Church singing Carrickfergus.

• Charlotte Church and Josh Groban singing The Prayer. This is an awesome song.

• Mercy Me singing I Can Only Imagine. It really is cool to think about what heaven might be like and it is even cooler to live with the assurance of one day being there.

• Extreme singing More Than Words. Very beautiful song.

• This is one of my favorite Christian songs. Don Francisco's He's Alive is, in my opinion, a very powerfully delivered representation of the resurrection story - the most important event in the history of the world! This puts the music to a video slideshow.

• Talk about retro - This is throwing it WAY back... My parents were teenagers when this groovy song was hot! Len Barry sings One, Two, Three live.

Please take my survey (only one question).
