Today I’ll simply point to an article by Dr Thomas Stanley (The Millionaire Next Door) describing how one millionaire family lives.

I don’t know their religious backgrounds but they seem to bring us a living example of “Godliness with contentment is great gain.”  1 Timothy 6:6

You never know how a horse will pull until you hook him up to a heavy load.

– Paul “Bear” Bryant

1 Wisdom calls to you like someone shouting;
understanding raises her voice.
2 On the hilltops along the road and at the crossroads,
she stands calling.
3 Beside the city gates, at the entrances into the city,
she calls out:
4 “Listen, everyone, I’m calling out to you;
I am shouting to all people.
5 You who are uneducated, seek wisdom.
You who are foolish, get understanding.

–NCV Proverbs 8:1-5
