Yeah, he was only in his 40's. How tragic!

So sad because the treasure of his heart was money and material wealth instead of God.

Praying for this man's family. Here are some verses to reflect upon. :pray


1Ti 6:7 For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out.
1Ti 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
1Ti 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
1Ti 6:11 ¶ But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
1Ti 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

This kind of thing happened a lot during the Great Depression...

Having too much is often even a worse problem than having too little.

I remember when I first moved out on my own, all I had was the bare necessities. I ate cheap food, rented a really cheap apartment with an air conditioner that didn't work all that great. I didn't drive, and wasn't about to carry my clothes across town to the laundry mat, so I did them all by hand.

Interestingly enough, I was never happier. It was so easy to draw close to Jesus at that time--there were so few distractions. Only when I began to be able to acquire more
"stuff", and actually want it, did things begin to go downhill for me. Taught me a very harsh lesson.

Now, when I say to my family that I never want to have a six-figure income, they look at me like I've lost my mind. If only they could understand. All the money, all that "stuff" just gets in the way...

Oh, this is so, so sad!
