The Best of Everything

This is my list of stuff that is simply the Best in whatever it is they do. Some are great ideas for gifts, some are organizations to support.

Mozilla Firefox is the best web browser out there. Microsoft has more or less abandoned development of IE so Firefox has done a fantastic job keeping up to speed with the development of the web. I use Firefox everyday.
Google Mail Gmail is the best email service out there and it's free. Let me know if you want an invite. I use GMail every day and enjoy teaching others how to use it.
Leatherman Wave's are just outright the best tool to have. I got one strapped to my backpack. The first time I got one was for a month long trip to Honduras and I used every single day of the trip.
VW Golf. If I didn't get so many speeding tickets, I would still own a VW Golf. They are beautiful machines and very smooth at 90 mph.

www.ashoka.org is the most intelligently conceived nonprofit I know. Their whole mission is to find and support the people dedicated to empowering the poor and the oppressed through business and they are are getting results.


Ender's Game is the best work of fiction ever. Forget Shakespeare, or Tolkien, Stephen King. Orson Scott Card is the Man. No other book even comes close.

Is That Really You God? This is the best nonfiction book I read this year, a beautiful example of following God in modern times. I recommend it to everybody. I've already it read several times this year.
A Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, the best painting. It's just that cool I had to put it on the list.

Have You Made the Wonderful Discovery of the Spirit-Filled Life?

Have You Made the Wonderful Discovery of the Spirit-Filled Life? Here is an incredibly powerful step every Christian should take in their spiritual growth. I went on a retreat this year the weekend before Easter with my church to go through the process of taking inventory of my sin and repenting of it. My prayer life is stronger than ever now because there is no longer that wall of unrepented sin blocking Him from hearing me.

do you ever feel shutting down and starting from scratch?

I want to move to Brazil and fabricate some kind of reality that doesn't depress me doesn't bore me to tears and subject me to months of pointlessness punctuated by a few faint glimmers of hope. God where did I go wrong? How I did I allow things to get so bland? Why can't I break free from the monotony of adulthood? -- Darian Hickman http://www.darianhickman.com cell: (703) 201-0524 work: (703) 742-7660 x238
