Part 1 Chapter 12: Sensual People, Fond of Money and Fame, Carry Their Own Cross

As I come to this chapter I remember other writtings that I have read, I can not remember their soerces(forgive me), that have told us about what those that love money will do to get more. Just as this book has said, I may have read the source of some of the quotes. And we have seen this to be true.

But we have seen to be true what the famous will do. Look at the lives of the movie stars. Look at what they do to stay famous, also the rock stars. These people reflect what the populace wants, this goes as well with the politicians.

Sad lives with no lasting rewards. And we fall into some of these things from time to time, but then we must return to our cross given us by Jesus and continue on the road of salvation.
