Bruce, I like that. I guess you live in a city with public transportation if you have no car? Your ideas sound good to me, as one who is feeling possessed by her possessions! We are considering putting our too-large, too-time-and-money-consuming house up for sale so that we can downsize dramatically. I feel rather like someone who has eaten too much, if you know what I mean. Makes one not want to push away from the table! :-)

Yes, we rent a home, eat lots of food, wear clothes, pay utilities etc. But we have no car and do not have any insurance of any kind. The Lord exercised my heart many years ago regarding insurance with such passages as Prov.1:10-19; 6:1-5; 11:15; 17:18; 20:16; 22:26; 27:13; Is.30:1-7; 31:1-3; and II Cor.6:14-7:1 . Instead we have assurance. Life assurance, fire assurance, assurance of the provision of all our needs, investment assurance (when you invest in eternal commodities i.e. getting people into the Word and the Word into people) you are guaranteed returns of 30,60 or 100 FOLD! No investment on earth can even touch returns of that magnitude! I love it when insurance salesmen or "investment counsellors" call! I ask them if their plans can even come close to the guaranteed returns of my investments?? Has opened not a few conversations about eternity! The only individual which God ever called a fool was one who invested everything he had in a place he had to leave!
