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

Forgiveness is an act of humility.
The fruit of revenge is bitterness.
Bitterness is a self-inflicted cancer that spreads first through you to those you love and then to others you influence.
What I will not forgive in others cannot be forgiven in me.
Forgiveness brings a peace that anger can never provide.
Love is either the beginning of forgiveness or it dies on the vine.
The command to “love your enemies, do good to those who despitefully use you.” was not a joke!
