Cades Cove - "I am the Way and the Truth"
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
Philip said, "Lord show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father?' Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
John 14:9-13 NIV
Smokey Mountains - "Do Not Let Your Hearts Be Troubled"

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."
John 14:1-4 NIV

He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples with equity.

Looking for a Butterfly in the Winter Woods
"No moment is ever free of the life history that has preceded it" (Martha W. Hickman). The fear of losing the memory of a love one we have lost will never happen, but there is hope for the broken hearted. We can lose, or be released, from the overhanging cloud of gloom. I for one am looking for that Butterfly in the winter woods. I want to be able to see it! As a loving tribute to my daughter Crystal, I will walk out from under this cloud so I can see the beauty of life around me. She would want that.
"They seemed to come suddenly upon happiness as if they had surprised a butterfly in the winter woods."
