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

You are only temped if you have something of value to lose.
Temptations always dress for success.
Temptations progress because of self-deceptions.
The resulting weight, of a yielding to temptations, is usually bore born by someone you love but who you thought would never find out.
Temptations start out as wants and turn into desires.
Temptation is the mother of addiction.
Temptations are often camouflaged as needs.
At the root of every temptation is a lie.

Satisfaction is never found at the end of any temptation.
Temptations tend to see what you are missing as something you deserve.
Temptations must be justified; doing what you should doesn’t.
Rarely are you tempted to do something good.
The feelings that result from, yielding to temptation, never justify the pain it causes.
