Jesus, children, animals, art, music, dance, reading, roller-blading, the beach, the Bible, fashion, eating (if it's good and I don't have to cook it), good stories, French, Italian, writing, learning about all the above...
Music
Vast selection including: ballads, smooth jazz, blues, motown, soul, country, soft rock, gospel, classical, regae, R & B, latino, Christian rock, (some faves are: Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin, Mercy Me, Jeremy Camp, Michael Card, David Crowder Band, Newsboys, Kutless, Jars of Clay, Audio Adrenaline, Kelly Willerd...) some hymns...
I DO NOT LIKE: heavy metal, disco, techno, punk, most rap (like some though).
Movies
Eight Below Zero; Amazing Grace; Dreamer; Brother Sun, Sister Moon; The Patriot; Braveheart; Finding Nemo; 101 Dalmations; Narnia; Envy, Home Alone, & everything by Louis de Funès (French).I hate anything sleazy, demonic or dark. I love films with a good moral & which make you wanna go fight evil. I love stories that are tender & where values are held high.
Television
America's Favorite Videos. Animal Planet (although I can't get it on my TV). Otherwise, not sure yet, since I'm new to America and didn't have a TV for a long time. Extreme Home Makeover, Oprah looks interesting, American Idol (I sing & love music), Dancing . . . But I hate the endless commercials so can't be bothered to watch TV. Sorry couch pots. I watch News.
Books
Lord of the Rings, Mitford series, Narnia, Jane Eyre, The Faraway Tree, everything by Bill Myers. Too many to name. Love fiction and non-fiction. I like many Christian authors, classics and adventures. I prefer character driven to plot driven (although I love Left Behind). Sigmund Brouwer...

Janey, And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown. And he replied: Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light, and safer than a known way.
