A Smoky Mountain HI

Here is a journey I make each day. Time flows on this side of eternity. I have aged as gracefully as reasonable as can be be expected, and yet feel not a day older in my mind. As I begin a life in the Smoky Mountains I hope you will share my journey as well. www.kleincabin.com

How often have we jumped into a fight we had no business being in--- said words, in situations, that were not ours to say? How often have we have we waded in to someone’s life to “save them from themselves” only to find out their neither wanted or need us to do so?
We want to more important to others in order to mask the needs in our own lives.

Becoming a Christian gives us greater control, not to do these things, or to do them when they are really needed, doing so effectively.

Selfishness limits our usefulness to those, for whom, we love and care.

I am significant, when I believe God, and I am insecure, when I do not!

Faith verses fear is an ongoing choice that brings us, rest or restlessness.

The fear of hope is as paralyzing as the fear of failure.
