QUESTION OF THE DAY #10: What tool couldn't you do without?

The other day, my box of cereal broke open. I was trying to open it nicely and neatly. No luck! You know, I hadn't even eaten my Wheaties yet. Still, I wanted to fix it, but no Duct Tape could be found. Duct Tape is a good candidate for a tool I couldn't do without. It can be used for so many things! Someone made my daughter a wallet out of Duct Tape. I even hear that there's a contest for prom dresses and tuxedos made of said tape.

I honestly don't know how to answer this question, though. Tools have been around since the beginning of time. Already in Genesis we see that "Tubal-Cain" was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron.

So many tools are at our disposal today. The computer that I'm typing on is a tool, so is the lamp on my desk. Yet, of all the things at at our disposal, there are two that top the list for me, namely the human mind and heart. Used wisely and according to God's plan, minds and hearts can dream and care and think and plan and so much more. They are unique to their owner, too. Truly, we are fearfully and wonderfully made!

These are just a few of my own thoughts, and there are so many wonderful answers to this question. What tool couldn't you do without?
