    Well I have to have a vehicle, computer and cell phone for my work (real estate sales). So those are my 3 but if I wasn't working and we are strictly looking at things I enjoy the most I would say my TV (mostly for watching races and Vikings games), fishing poles and computer. Without those 3 things I wouldn't be a very happy camper.

    Sorry, Dear, but in I Tim 6:6-8, Paul states: "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that."

    Of course heat in Winter here in Ohio, is almost a necessity to keep from freezing to death, and air conditioning this Summer, especially with the extreme temperatures, is *almost* a necessity, and living in the country, as we do, transportation is pretty much a necessity.

    A book exchange program, so I never run out of new stuff to read, access to new movies and a nice, soft bed at night. I guess it says I like entertainment and comfort.

    My computer to fellowship with like-minded believers who live great distances from me. However, I am confident that God could bring us all together, or provide local people, so never mind.

    The bible, which is the written revealed Word of God. However, He has written His word upon my heart, so never mind.

    My garden, which helps me to discern His meaning in the written Word. However, God is able to use other things in my life to do the same, so never mind.

    Hmmmmm. Looks like never mind is the answer. Yep, never mind thrice.

    There are no material things without which I cannot live, though I would very much miss my books and family photo albums if they were lost or stolen.

    Pen, paper and phone... not sure what it says about me. I like to write and I have to stay in touch with the outside world, Especially my kids who live far away.

    My computer, so I can get on Y!A, my set of holy books, or at least one of them, and my Wii. I guess this says that I like to be connected to other people, higher powers and fictional worlds.

    My bible, my garden tools, and my canning equipment. I grow and can my own veggies. Won't eat the ones from the store if I can avoid it.
