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

True guilt means you did wrong and need forgiveness; false involves: I should have, I could have, and the If, I “hads”…if I been there, done this, waited, called, said something, et cetera…which is the devils playground for manufacturing that unforgivable false guilt. (Unforgiveable because it does not exist if is false)
If you did something wrong you know what, when, where you did it and what to do about it. If you are consumed with false guilt you are not quite sure of what, where, when, or even if, you are responsible, but you might have been.
Sin is true guilt and you need to be repent; false guilt is not sin but will bring down your quality of life and your effectiveness as a Christian...so leave it alone, do not accept it in any form!
Carol is on the upbeat and thanking God for her progress spontaneously throughout the day.
