I know the answer. It is one of these things:
Indoor plumbing, Republican politics, the Lutheran church, cotton underwear, sex, sleep, urination, badminton, beautiful elbows, Lithuania, artisanal bread with garlic butter, ravioli, coconut milk, tigers, the Juan Marichal baseball card from 1967, Matchbox toys, the Honda Odyssey from 2004 (gold), golf, studying languages, progress in food distribution in India, children (all children, taken together), music (all music, taken together), Cooperstown, Woodstock, Fleishmann's, the state police car behind when it flashes blue and red and white to pull over, ants, bees, barrels of monkeys, football played at the professional level, saunas, moisturizer, cotton towels, poetry (all poetry, taken together), yachts, princesses and princes from the few remaining monarchies, the Ipod, the notion of hell, the notion of heaven, the new Victor mousetrap that doesn't injure the mouse, gum.

Are we supposed to come up with our own list, or guess your "Best Thing in the World" from your list?
Love, Kirby.
The answer is love.
Wendy, I was hoping to just stir the brain waves of commenters. There are so many good things in the world! Chairs, books, rainbows, hummingbirds, lip balm, collanders when you need to get spaghetti out of the boiling water, nail clippers, nose hair trimmers, etc.

The word of God in all of its manifestations: preached, listened to and heard, read and studied, sung, prayed, lived, well you get the idea.
Dim Lamp
To love is to place something before yourself.
To love is to give your all to something.
You would neither put cheese doodles before yourself (metaphysically speaking, of course) nor would you give your all (i.e. commit your life, die for, etc.) to cheese doodles.
