Nice hippo slippers. Thanks, their elephants.
Well, as you can tell I have changed my colors again. I am trying a few different themes and colors to find the one I like. I did make out a list of colors I have found that has worked. So hopefully the changing of seasons on my blog won't bother anyone.
My sister finally got her blog up, but she is just trying to figure everything out now.
I actuallt started school today. I am taking World Religions and Basics to Counseling from 8 am to 11 am every Tuesday and Thursday. It went better than I thought it would. We had a good discussion going in World Religions about if Jesus was an "Inclusivist" or an "Exclusivist." It was slow going at first, but it didn't take long for the flames to spread. There were two guys going back and forth for a while. It was hilarious! We had a fight the first day of class. In my next class, Basics to Counseling, the teacher seemed nervous. He was making some stupid jokes. But he made us tell us about ourselves and we all sort of relaxed and started having fun. We talked about what we like to do and do for fun. And somehow, we started talking about lesbians (or was that thespians) at OCU and how basketball teams get recruits from other countries. Anyways, as we went around there was a girl named Whitney that the first thing she said was that she didn't like sports (and I'm thinking, you have got to be kidding me). She doesn't play, watch, or know anything about sports. She was a cheerleader all through high school and doesn't know how football works. Then she said she was from Locust Grove and all I could think of; "Was she apart of the deliberate "accidents" the Locust Grove football and basketball team Ben has told me about when the QB would pass the ball out of bounds on purpose and "saving" the basketball from out of bounds." I couldn't stop laughing in my head. " No wonder she doesn't like sports." hahahaha. Anyways, I need to go and find some money so I can buy books and supplies. Talk to you all later, and I'll this you with this quote from Hugh Black. The fear of God kills all other fears.

I am simultaneously honored and insulted to be involved in the contest for the fourth year in a row.
The countdown is on. Only four more days until OU kicks off their season against the North Texas Eagles. OU should have no problems at all winning this game and hopefully we will get to see some other quarterbacks play. But we may not seeing as how it is the first game and they want to get Jason White as many snaps as they can so he can get used to it again. Also, we have OSU @ Nebraska. That is going to be a great game and hopefully Nebraska will pull off this win.
I am finally enrolled as of yesterday at OBU. I am only going part-time (6 hrs) because I am the interim youth minister at my church and I know that will take up a lot of time and I don't really want to go full time. I am taking "Intro to Counseling" and "World Religions." High School football season is starting here in a week or so. Meeker has always been a running team since I was in high school. They would pass maybe 0-3 times a game. But this year, they are going to a spread offense. I haven't seen them play yet, but let's just say it is going to be an interesting year.
The new Strongbad email is pretty funny. There are like 3 places to click after the email. Also, I was messing around when he was writing the email and I found a another word you can click on. I am not sure if you can do that in the other emails or if you all have even tried, but it is new to me.
Well, that's it for now. Boomer Sooner

College Pick'em '03
Hey Guys,
I found a College Pick'em on ESPN.
The Group name is
"OUFootballOSU"
and the password is
"stoopsandmiles"
Well, Ben made a group too. So, I figure we will just have these two groups. I have emailed my friends and told them about both of them.
Ben's group is
SOONER or LATER
and the password is
Stoops
Have fun and Boomer Sooner

"Bart, with $10,000, we'd be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like...love!"
HomeStarRunner is catching on. I have introduced "the intro" to my sister and she died laughing. Some of the youth have gotten into it too. The new email is hilarious, especially the game (also the title of Ben's latest blogspot) "Am I Sid Hoffman or Sid Frenchman? HAHAHA. Well, I am getting close to being enrolled in school, just waiting on Financial Aid.
The College Football season starts in less than a week and a half. Some friends and I are starting "College Pick'em" this year. If you or anyone wants to join in, email me @ updraft419@yahoo.com or write me in your blogspot. I need to know by Tuesday the 26th. The season actually starts the 28th, but for me to get all the things in order I need who is playing and the picks for that week in on the 26th.
I have been watching some of the Little League games and Japan beat Saudi Arabia 17-0 in 4 innings (the run rule came into effect) These kids are amazing. These kids are hitting home runs and throwing like 55-70 mph. Also, if you missed the X-Games these past few days, you missed some awesome stuff. Deegan and Pastrano (motorbike freestyle) both pulled off a 360 degree turn (not sure of official name) in competition. Meaning the bike turned all the way around in mid-air. It was sweet. And the Bike Vert and the Skate Vert were awesome too.
I bought Charlie Hall's new CD "On The Road To Beautiful" and "Passion '03:Sacred Revolution" yesterday. I have been waiting for Charlie's CD since mid June and it lived up to what I expected. It's good. I heard some of the songs at church camp, because he did worship for our week, but the other songs that no one has heard are awesome. I would encourage you to buy it. Also the Passion CD is good too. There is still more to say about them both, but I need to listen to them more and then I will give you an update later.
Well, that's it for now. I have to go and do some reading.
Talk to you all later.
Zach
PS - Ben/Josh, could you please tell me how to use the templates. I would like to know how to put links in my blog, how to capitalize letters, use different fonts, use different colors, and how to put on a shout out. Any help would be useful, thanks.

The System is down. The System is down. The System is down!
Well, it is another day down in the books. Last night, we took the kids (along with another church) to the school for a prayer walk so they could pray for themselves, their friends, teachers, and the other kids. Overall, I thought it went great and hopefully the kids will continue in praying for the school and themselves. I know and I'm sure you all know that it is hard to stay focused on God when school starts back up, but God will get them through it as long as they give it to God.
I have a busy weekend in front of me. I am going to Josh's apartment tonight and hopefully get this camp video done. I'm excited! Yippeee (Hon, Kids need you) Then on Saturday, I am going to Six Flags with my sister and 3 of her friends. Well, I guess I should update you on my sister. Amber, my oldest sister, just finished her clinicals at Lackland AFB in San Antonio. Now she will be home for a month and then she will head off to Elmendorf AFB (what idiot came up with this great name for an AFB. Boy those were the suckiest bunch of sucks I have ever seen suck, boy did they suck) which is in Anchorage, Alaska. She will be there for 3 years and then she is done with the Air Force thing. She will finish as an Senior Airman, but at this point she is an Airman 1st class.
I'm out of things to say right now, so I'll yak at you later.

PR-pray for my granny. she basically has alzhiemers(however you spell it). she is spending money on crap, especially the salesman that call and all the junk she gets in the mail. they are ripping her off and we are struggling to figure out how to keep her in check. she won't listen and you can't explain it to her or even take stuff away from her. today she gave her account number to 2 salesmen over the phone. we have seperated her husbands account, but pray that we can hold her back somehow from blowing all her money. thanks

Hey Everybody! Let's welcome Josh to the show!!
How is everyone doing? Good. Well, I am going to enroll at OBU this week. Just part time though, because of being interim youth minister at my church. Anyways, we had a good weekend. We went to YEC (youth evangelism conference) on Friday night and Saturday morning @ the Lloyd Noble Center. It wasn't as good as it has been in the past, but The Skit Guys and Chris Tomlin were awesome. Chris Tomlin has a new CD coming out on August 19th (same day as Charlie Hall's new one comes out) At noon, we went to Frontier City and hung out and that night, we saw Relient K in concert. It was a pretty sound concert. It sounded like Matt Thiessan screamed more in the concert compared to what you hear on the CD, but it sounded good. The band had a very crisp and clean sound, which i thought was odd/different since it was an outdoor concert. They played a variety, Softer to Me, Mood Rings, Failure to Excommunicate, For the Moments I feel Faint, Chapped stick, chapped lips, and things like chemistry, their song they wrote about FIF, FIF is either dead or dying, and they ended with Sadie Hawkins Dance. I quit UnitLiner last thursday so i could have some time to enroll and a bunch of other misc stuff, plus there was no way they would work around my schedule so i quit. A
OU begins their season on August 30th againt North Texas and i can't wait. I got to play NCAA 2004 on playstation 2 at a friends house and it was awesome. 2 thumbs up. If i had the money, I would buy a gamecube/playstation 2 and NCAA 2004, but no funds right now, but maybe in the future. Well, that is it for now. Ben, your cd's will be in the mail wednesday or thursday (13th or 14th) I'm sorry it has take so long, because i know you miss your cds, cause I know I would. Talk to you later
