Gilded tombs do worms infold. -Shakespeare

That is, though a man be so rich, and full of pomp, that his tomb is gilded in gold, or some other expensive or precious metal, it does him no good in the end.

For, worms are no less selective when it comes to dead  bodies. They do not see, nor respect the treasures and importance that man has placed upon such a tomb. And in the end, neither does God.

Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. -Proverbs 11:4

• The Mask of Riches
• Glorying in the Lord
• Walking Toward the Impossible
• Let Your Sins be Strong, But…
• HELL: Some Like it Hot?
