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 pain is something you can have but should never be.

There is no secondary market for your soul.

The loss of love is heart failure.

Love is listening with the heart.

Whatever is not given will never be yours again.

Most things are not all that difficult but just require work.

Love combines the very best of what you have with the very best of what someone else has.

In marriage whoever gives the most wins.


Enthusiasm is the oil of change.

Spending less is saving more

Effort produces inspiration and direction.

Changing your mind is part of the responsibility of being an adult.

Denying truth does change it.

Never open your mind to known lies.

Truth fears no inquisition; false can stand no questions.

Thoroughness and faithfulness are blood brothers.

Life begins when you decide to live.

Lies are always about some truth.

The five senses are : good sense, common sense, horse sense, sense of forgiveness and sense of Devine presence.

The most important battle scars are calloused knees.

With our minute ability how much of God greatness can we comprehend?

The impossible is a collection of the possible.

Carrying the burdens of others does not always lighten their load.

Forgiveness heals the forgiver.

Forgiving others is the tithe on our own sin.

You do not have to be right but you have to be honest.

Inspiration is the fruit of determination.

Calmness keeps the storms in perspective.

Giving is the reason for receiving.

When they open the book of your life will they see Jesus or you?

Service keeps your faith from leaking.

How far you are from where you think you are?

If you are not different you should be.

Time is a gift of this world that you will not need in the next.

Depression is an uncomfortable comforter.

You do not have to set sail for the wrong destination, but you can just drift that way.

April 21, 2007

The shadow of love is the friendly comforter.

Memory is sometimes more fleeting than time.


The smile of a friend is a sunrise in its own.

Being a slave to righteousness is the ultimate freedom.

Sending your love is honorable bringing it is memorable.

In a thousand years will what you want be worth the price you must pay?

To be remarkable you will be marked.

Doing the right thing is always a choice; often a difficult choice.

Give thanks and receive blessings.

Hope endures until you cease to want it.

Depression is faith, in the wrong outcome.

If seeing is believing; is believing seeing?

Live life or it will pass you by.

It is the thorns that make you seek a cure.

Some folks are sincerely impossible.

Did anyone notice that is was “OK” to pray today at Virginia Tech?

More folks have faith than the government permits

Considering the tragedy of Blacksburg, eternity seems closer than our perception.

Every day is the potential last so we need to enjoy the journey as much as possible.


Knowing that where we are going is better than where we are; is not all that comforting for those left behind, as it is for those making the journey.

How inefficient is the heart that bleeds not for others.

Prayers are the ultimate comfort when we have lost control of our environment.

Faith helps the most when you have nothing else.

Savor the moments and the minuets and hours will take care of themselves.


Every where you are there are wonders happing all around you.


Do better with this moment than the last.


Big goods are a collection of little goods.


You have no obligation to be better than someone else, only better than you were.


Every day that passes will never come your way again.

Favor the hearts of those who stand in the gap between you and Satan. They are your true heroes.

Touching the soul of the one you love is a frighteningly beautiful experience.

Force yourself to do well; it is the habit of choice for the believers.

Love is the uncharacteristic mingling of emotions and memories past and yet to be made.

Blending lives is not without it’s lumps.

The future will be as it is unless you change something.


Works are the fruit of faith.

Deliberate if you want, but do what you can.

Do as much as you can, as often as you can, while you can.

If your friends are saying no but your heart is saying yes then chose your heart.

You are here to make a difference; start now!

April 14, 2007

All relationships are based on faith.

The worth of a soul is in the price paid for it.

Marinate your soul with prayer.

It is the action of Faith that creates Faith.

Hope is what you want; faith is how you get it.

Hope is a dream; faith is an expectation.

Hope is something that you believe is more than hope.

Consistency is only good if you are doing the right things.

Measure a man's words by his works.

Imagine the "tremble" around the Cross.

Fear is unused Faith.

When is good hurtful? Only when you receptors are bad.

How far from contentment are you willing to live?

What are the steps to becoming better? Give more, spend less, and enjoy what is left.

The time has come to be faithful.

Forsake not the forsaken.

The love of truth and the truth of love should be equal.

Truth without love is a club.

The Resurrection is the big deal!

You are less worthy than you are valued.

Allow for the best in others.

Christianity is the best deal for the young and the only deal for the old.

Invest in worthy ideas and valuable people.

An Oak tree is simply an acorn that held its ground.
