If you were deserted on an island for 1 year with absolutely no connection

to the outside world (not even one person), what 3 things would you bring with you?

Good question Kim… but tough!  Since you said no people I can’t choose Matt to be there… with no connection to the world that means no laptop or cellphone… or radio!  So of course my first choice would be the Bible, it would be a great year of learning I’m sure!  The time we spent in Dallas when Izzy was in the hospital was almost like being deserted on an island for those months.  Almost.  We did see people and have access to phones and things, but we sure didn’t want to watch any television and we didn’t care what the world was doing.  We were focused on learning more about God because we knew that without Him we wouldn’t survive this event.  Our Bibles were our constant companion.  Second I would choose some sort of light source.  Probably a lighter or matches.  I have to be practical, and water would have to be boiled right?  I’ve watched enough epidsodes of Survivor to know at least that much!  The third thing I would choose would be bedding, as in a blanket and/or pillow!  So I could be snuggled up by a nice fire reading.  I honestly don’t know that I could last a year on an island.  Tom Hanks lasted how many years on Castaway?  Like five or more?  He did have Wilson.  Maybe I should choose a soccer ball instead of the bedding?

The catchphrase “It’s not about me” has become quite popular in our current world today. What does that phrase mean to you in your personal life? Explain.

It makes me think about what I call the 10,000 ft. view.  When I am feeling down, or having a hard day I remember that the world is much bigger than the close up view I’m living.  I try to remember the big picture, including the creator and His complete control over every situation.  It helps to know that it’s not all about me.  Be serious though, for almost everyone their life is about them.  It’s like being the main character in your own movie… but, in the world we are all just extras.  Fortunately that is just the world’s view.  To God we are all precious.  I prefer to think of myself as a daughter of the King.
