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

Being sorry is for you; not doing it again is being sorry for others.
The problem for Christians is that they are more into confession and less into repentance.
Bitterness never forgives who or what is blamed and therefore; it never satisfies anyone...ever.
The strength of love is its willingness to forgive.
Prolonging hope delays doubt.

When blame, becomes more important than forgiveness, brings shame to both the perpetrator and the victim.

FROM DISPIRATION TO FAILURE IN ONE DAY...WHILE SUCCESS SITS IN WAITING:
Hope interferes with desperation.
Debate is for learning argument is for defense, understanding is for the wise.
In order to love more than you can, you need to feel more than you can know.
Forgive what you can give the rest to God.
Success at the expense of someone else is a special form of failure.
