the love of money

I read an article that I think may illustrate amazingly the passage that we are memorizing. On the other hand, the whole situation in Somalia makes me sad. I know people are desperate.

I am not going say I know that the pirate who drowned with $153,000 of ransom money in his pocket was being judged by God... but its hard not to assume that, and it is likely. The only ones who survived the storm lost their money in the water. Read the article though.

And God's Word says:
1 Timothy 6:6-10
6Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment, 7for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. 8But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. 9But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
