Money is not the root of all evil. The LOVE of it is!!

Our bartering used to be with stones, many eons's before. Now paper money and coins are used.

God knew we would need this and His warning was not the money itself that would lend itself to all kinds of evil, but the LOVE of it. Money today is power; used in the right way can do wonders; it is in the heart of the individual that produces the LOVE OF MONEY that creates terrible evil

An old prospector friend of mine told me of GOLD MINER'S DISEASE......it's when you are so busy finding gold that all else is put aside and you lose yourself in your search for materialistic riches.....another way to show how LOVE OF MONEY can distort reality.....
