PROVERBS - CHAPTER 23:4-5
"Do not wear yourself out to get rich: have the wisdom to show restraint. 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."
MY THOUGHTS: Where do you draw the line as far as earning an income?  Sometimes I feel like I am near wearing myself out just to pay the bills.  Or if others worked like I work they would pass over dead....I work a lot.  I am always going.
