Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Does owning a computer make you too rich to go to heaven?

The bible says it is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to go to Heaven, and the precious metals in your computer, in Jesus' day, would have been sufficient wealth to buy a small third world nation, to say nothing of the gemstone flecks in your junk jewelry, the metals in your sandwich coins--What's in your wardrobe? Silk?Satin? Lace? Leather? How many different outfits? Most people in Jesus time had at the most two T-tunics and they were hand woven, the consistency of burlap, and hand stitched together with hand spun thread--by God's standards we ALL live at a level of excess that mandates waste while children are starving in New York--Is that needle's eye looking a little tight yet? perhaps it's your new jeans that you had to buy because you put on ten pounds BEFORE thanksgiving....Just a thought...
