Blogger extraordianaire Kat launched a blogosphere-based fast yesterday. Each day a designated blogger will fast and blog about it and an area of need in the world. Shaun Groves and Andrew Osenga are in the line up.
If, like me, you missed the boat on this, you can still participate by spreading the word and fasting on the 40th day: July 31st.
Good friends are hard to find. We visited some of these hard-to-find friends this week and had a great time. In our conversation about what makes a good friend, our friend hit the nail on the head:
God and farts.
When you can seamlessly transition from your faith to poo, then you've reached a level of intimacy unrivaled by other friends.
This past weekend was senior recognition weekend at my church. The youth band and choir led worship and several of the seniors gave testimonies.
I got to sit in with the band (they needed an electric guitarist—you know, so they could rock out), and I was so impressed. The youth put in lots of extra hours this past week striving towards excellence, and their hard work and diligence was met with success.
Here's the catch: all of this hard work was not to make themselves look good—rather, it was a genuine effort to glorify and worship the Lord with their talents. This focus on the Lord is so rare that when you do actually see it, it shines like a bright light in contrast to the world around us. Thanks, guys and gals. You inspired me.
As I'm raising two young daughters, this kind of experience gives me hope. A hope that my girls will have a strong group of peers that aren't afraid to stand in their beliefs.
So we launched BuzzFever.com the other day, and that night my wife says to me:
Is this going to be our third child?
I have to admit there are some similarities. I've not gotten regular sleep. Though it's not because "the baby" is crying–she is relatively quite (especially with the holiday weekend). Rather, I lie awake listening, excited about this new little one. Every page hit, new user, new product. She's so cute.
Woohoo! buzzfever.com is now live!
It will take a little while to populate the site with users and products. Help us out!

I have an idea folder. It's just a folder with a bunch of text files in it. Each text file contains an idea. Some ideas are potential business ideas, others are programming projects that I think would be useful, others are book/article ideas. If it's an idea, it goes in the idea folder.
I've only been doing this for about six months, and in that time I've managed to come up with ideas to keep me busy working for several years!
Do you have an idea folder?
