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.

Many have asked and many times I have explained Why Brazil? I am going to Brazil because something is going on down there, and I want in on it. Spiritually there is a huge revival going on down there. Small groups explode into megachurches. People receive prophecy and obey to go on and do great things for God. And more missionaries hail from Brazil than any other country in the world. Here's a few stories that inspired me: One prayer team from Brazil instigated a revival in Goa, India. Stephen Baldwin becomes a Christian because a Brazilian nanny obeyed prophecy. A Brazilian Missionary defies 'The Prince of Peru' to instigate revival in Peru. I believe that when I get down there I'll find mentors to take me into more powerful prayer, into more effective evangelism, and more mission-oriented churches. Essentially my hope for Brazil is that I can find a community who will help me take my faith from applying the wisdom of the Bible to something more personal ......
