3) Biblical preaching - There is something exhilarating about hearing God’s Word faithfully handled.

4) Technology & Gadgets - can't help it, I just love it all. Above all gadgets though, I cherish my Macbook Pro and iPhone most.

5) Cereal - it's eating and drinking with one hand without looking.  What's not to love?
