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

A contented man enjoys the blessings that God has given him; savoring both the gifts and the Giver.
Envy is specific, wanting what you have; while greed is an increasable desire for everything anyone has.
Greed is about wanting more; envy is about having less.
Christian contentment is the ability to appreciate what one has while admire what someone else has at the same time.
Greed is the ultimate poverty.
Envy is so driven by what it does not have, so it cannot enjoy what it does.
