Things I love- Challenge

So... April G. posted a challenge on her blog for those who were willing to do it. You are to list the things that you love/like.

The rules:
1. Don't list the obvious: church, salvation, family, etc.
2. No particular order. No limit to number.
3. Don't list thinking of other's reactions. Be honest.
