"Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: that wisdom preserves the life of its possessor." Ecclesiastes 7:12
Did you know there are over 2300 verses in the bible referencing money? This is a close second to LOVE. The one most are familiar but confuse often is from 1 Timothy; For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Not money but the adoration of money. So manage it, make it, spend it, consider it vital but don't bow down to it.
The Sultan of Swat, Babe Ruth had over 2200 RBI's in his career. The New York Yankees purchased the contract of Babe Ruth from the Boston Red Sox. And in 1923 he hit a home run opening day at Yankee Stadium and history was written.
One of the events I was looking most forward to when I came to New York was witnessing the implosion of the house that Babe built. To my dismay, there will be no dynamite, they're dismantling it piece by piece. Cue Joe Torre to speed up the process...
But seriously, in this economy driven city where the money moans and woes are just as loud and frequent as the honking of car horns...what do New Yorkers think of the Yankees?
$500 million to three players? To make you more money? Recession? What Recession?
Now with the brand new stadium scheduled to debut this spring...The Yankees are asking the NY taxpayers to foot the bill for its luxurious completion.
A Bronx resident told me today she wishes the Yankees would just relocate...
Americans are losing their jobs at a rapid pace. Some are wondering how to meet their basic needs and America's team is spending half a billion dollars for boys to connect a bat to a ball.
Call me crazy but something doesn't add up?
If wisdom preserves the life to those who posses it. And its clear what master the men in the pinstripes are serving. May their season reap what they sow.
Play ball....
What provides you shelter?
