Saying 8
4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
do not trust your own cleverness.
5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
do not trust your own cleverness.
5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
Today's reading is a little more in depth. Fewer thoughts with a little more meat. I like this first one. Its a good lesson for all of us that are seeking worldly success. But, I think this is a good one for my boys. Focus on what's important in life....."the word of God and the souls of man." (something I remember from a sermon I head 25 years ago)
Everything else is temporary. Don't kill yourself trying to attain something that is so fleeting!

have a good weekend!

Picked the same two verses I see. Its a reminder for me to keep work in check--its good to work hard but don't have the pursuit of money rob me of time. I generally do well at this but certainly have my moments.
we did have a good weekend--raced in Topeka had my whole family there after Gina and Katelyn made a surprise trip down. Had a surprise birthday party at the track. Won the event. definition of a good weekend for knut.
