"The best things in life aren't free---they're priceless!" -- original quote from Marie Byars              

     Our economies are built on spending money.  Yet we all sense that money is not going to provide all the emotional benefits we seek in life.  

     St. Paul wrote the young pastor Timothy, "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil."  (1 Timothy 6:10).  An early Christian follower lost his faith, Paul called it "shipwrecking his faith" over monetary and world concerns.

    Judas Iscariot, before selling Jesus to His enemies for 30 pieces of silver, was pilfering from the disciples' joint funds. 

     In this life, parenting provides many rewards.  We are sometime exhausted in the midst of making those memories, but we cherish so many of them later.
