There are not many things I can't live without.
If there were some type of emergency, something that caused me to have to evacuated indefinitely to another country with a culture very different than my own, there is only one main thing I would really want to take. I would want to have my scriptures with me that have been written in my home language and marked up and studied. I know that these bring me closer to my God, who understands me and my needs wherever I am in the world. This is enough to survive.
Should there be additional room for me to take more things, I would take my music and a way to play it. Music brings me comfort and peace and there is music for all my different moods. While I may be able to find music in another culture, I am attached to the music I am accustomed to and would turn to that to bring me additional comfort in times of trial.
The third thing I would bring with me is my computer with a way to access the internet. I love to research, read, and increase my knowledge. This is my source of growth. While I know I can live without my computer, it is my way of reading and staying up to date. I love the convenience and incredible amount of information that can be gleaned from my computer.
