Not money is the root of all evil, but the love of money is the root of all
evil.  There's a difference.

Kathy,

I like that from Proverbs.

Okay, what does the saying "Money is the root of all evils?" come from?

I pray that I'm thinking the right thoughts and not being selfish or greedy.

Thanks much.

Love and Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
