Mike,

The phrase you are quoting is a paraphrase of the original.

Scripture says it is the " For the love of Money that is the root of all evil. "

1Ti 6:10.

It is not wrong to have enough money to live on. It is when money becomes your

goal in life that it corrupts.

Mad,

Haven't thought much about religious material in terms of the list,

but it plays a vital role for many of us. In reading your citation, I

realized that it is nice to have some religious contributions. I'm not

talking about a whole book from the Bible, or heavily evangelical stuff,

but things that we live by and can help us.

When I did treatment with many people over the years, I discovered

that when people are pushed past their limits, and beyond what anyone can

bear, and desperate for relief but becoming without hope, it was always God

who helped. Even with people who became suicidal.

And for me it has been so too.

Ken: appreciate what you said about belief in God. I work with PWDs at my

church and have found it very rewarding although frustrating at times. I

know my own belief in God and His purposes has sustained me all these years

of chronic pain (since 1971).
