Lost Souls

The more we have the less we become – sad, but it seems the way of the world. Flash and glitter, for the sweet-tooth tasteful, but for the soul bitter...such power and wealth ultimately to fail humanity – it is the tale of heads and tails, lost to the body of Christ....

Even those who have less can choose to be ubfrateful. I know very wealthy people with soul, joy and gratitude. Rich or poor....it’s all attitude, Prince. None of us have a corner on truth. Panagiota

For sure, wealth in itself is not evil -- it is how it is used. Poorly used wealth has just given the Taliban tens of thousands of hi-tech weapons. The Devil is chilling Champagne. Overjoyed.

You speak the truth. Many souls lost in materialism, power, status, possessions and me, me attitude. Powerful!.

Thank you, Marilene. Battles we have all fought to some extent, but some really take it to a sin. Blessings my friend.
