Workaholics and the Christian Faith

There is a well-known phrase which is sometimes quoted by those who have a word of condemnation for lazy people who sit around all day doing nothing, when they could be out working, making a living, and enjoying the "fruits of their labors."  These folks quote a Bible verse where the Apostle Paul said to the Thessalonians "if any would not work, neither should he eat."  But what about those people who are what we call "workaholics?"  What does the Christian faith have to say about these?  That's what we're thinking about today.
