Dinner Discussions

Each night during dinner, we have a dinner discussion...Troy has random questions, scenarios, verses or words on little cards, and we pull one to discuss.  It is a great teaching time and peek into what our kids are thinking.  We all really enjoy doing them.

 
Tonight's dinner discussion was 3 things you would take to a desert island.  We decided that there was food available and that we knew we would be rescued in about 3 days.  It was so interesting to see what the kids focused on...Nate was very practical...as was Troy.  They brought things to help with shelter or food...like an ax, knife and rope.  Abby wanted a TV and an ipod...until she was told there is no electricity.  Then there was Ian.  He was afraid of being attacked by monkeys.  He list was this: a shovel (to hit the monkey over the head), a rope (to tie the monkey up) and lip gloss (to give the monkey a girlie face...ya, I don't know).
So here's my list:

1. My Kindle - it keeps it's charge for a month, plays music and has several different books including 3 versions of the Bible currently on it.
2. Philosophy 3-in-1 shampoo, body wash and bubble bath - I will be clean.
3. Our king size soft, yummy blanket - to lay on or cover up in.  I am not a fan of sand.

If I was allowed a 4 and 5 - Troy and toilet paper.
