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

Measure less, encourage more.

The unwillingness to forgive is the ultimate form of selfishness.

God cannot be outsourced.

Hardening of the arteries is not near as dangerous as hardening of the soul.

Greatness comes out of rightness.


This will be the last entry until June 5th as I will be with my parents and at the cabin.

If someone is scratching your back there must be a reason.

How good it is to be better than your were.

If you really know what is good for you, then you do know Jesus.

Good health always begins in the soul.

It is much better to walk from darkness into light, than to walk from light into darkness

Working hard and hard work is not the same thing.

Each snowflake bears the signature of the Creator.

Buy low, sell high, give much, and keep little.

Flattery is the cosmetic of insincerity.

Memories are the threads of sanity.

The laugh of a child increases the Faith of a man.

Friendship is the best form of renewable energy.

To love someone less, is dereliction of duty.

Empathy tastes the tears of another.

Measure your wealth by the smiles you create.

Father, what are you doing today and how can I be a part of it?

The passing of time is more critical for the atheist.

“Jesus said cast your burdens on me” the closer you are the easier it is.

Is it not odd that only one religion has a Savior?

The majesty of the sunset and the splendor of the sunrise are glimpses of Heaven.

How is your internet life?

You cannot get even with someone without causing yourself the greater pain.

Be gentle with the heart of another.

The more you can forgive the healthier you will become.


May your life, warm the good and singe the bad.

Never make judgments when in pain.

When people misunderstand you, your life should change their minds.

Selfishness clogs the arteries of friendship.

Worries will more likely cause stress than stress causes worry.

Most fresh air has been tasted by another; so you are learning to share.

Do not be cautious with your praise.

The cost of getting even is greater than the peace of forgiveness.

Spring brings hope eternal.

You can not befriend the world but you can befriend another.

Never swap the heat of the moment, for principle.

May 17 2007

Your character is an advertisement of your worth.

Spring is hope wearing its best clothes.

Time is the equalizer among men.

Effort measures the strength of your faith.

Humor is the wild card of survival

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


Hope is the only enduring optimism.



Remember the good things you have done but do not for get to do more.


Evil stalks your lives because of the choices of others.


Victory is yours because of your choices.



The beginning of anything is the most difficult task.

May 15, 2007

Love creates memories by faith.

Perfect people have no friends.

Ignoring truth is ignorance.

Love like rain can drown or refresh.

God desperately love you!

May 14, 2007


Divine love is the only kind of permanent love.


Finishing last still got the snail on the Ark.


The least in Heaven will be celebrated over the best in Hell.


It is only for those who choose loneliness to be lonely.


A patriot of Heaven wins over any patriot of earth.


Finding sunshine requires little effort; finding God requires even less..

Everyday is Mother's Day, Sunday, we just shout it a bit louder!

If you had a good mother....then act like it.

Marriage blossoms or marriage blisters?

Relationships are about giving rather than taking as in a mother.

Forgiveness is the glue of all relationships.

Reverence the good; be embarrassed by the bad.

Mothers are the waters of the gardens of life.

May 12,2007

If you do not know God, you do not know what is good for you.

Everyone is designed to please God, but the choice remains theirs.

God has nothing but time, we have little of it.

To believe life just happens requires one to be legally dumb.

Every leaf, every snowflake, every color cries of Divine design.

If you do not believe in God what good is faith?

Good fortune is a gift of faith not fate.

It is ours dependence that creates our independence.

Nowhere is a fatal destination.

One step towards truth is worth a mile into confusion.

May 10, 2007

If you don’t know that you are blessed you really don’t know anything.

Fear is the cancer of hope.

Permanence limits you availability.


Each friend is a part of your security, and where they lack God fills.

My loved one doesn’t treat me right; Jesus gave His life for
people who did not love Him very well.

Sin bring dread into your life!

Understanding someone does not excuse them.


Respect is an attitude; love is a determination.


Every choice has its consequences.


The measure of love is the obstacles it is willing to overcome.


Darkness hurts the most when you see the light

Pain is an unflinching enemy, be it physical, emotional, or psychological.

The hardest time to love is when you are being hurt by it.

I can do what I want but there is a price tag attached.

It is easier to leave than to cleave.

A mind set is a hindrance to learning.

Excellence is a difficult habit to maintain.


Your ability to love molds your ability to forgive.

Proclamations are seldom redemptive.

Working towards doing your best is never failure.

Sharpen your work tools with love.

May 6, 2007

Love like rain can drown or refresh.

God desperately love you!

Selfishness is perverted love.

Some people are remarkably useless, but no one is valueless.

More lies may be told than truths but it does not change truth.

Matter cannot be created or destroyed but lives are and can be.

The difference between enough and plenty is where greed breeds.

Love creates memories by faith.

Perfect people have no friends.

Ignoring truth is ignorance.

The fragrance of true joy is the essence of happiness.

Life is filled with emptiness without Faith.

Christians need never be lonely.

The hand of faith grasps the hand of opportunity.

Even in the midst of hope peace resides.

The day of blessing is upon you open your eyes.


The wonder of life is wonderful.

God allows the possibility of love but leaves the details to you.

I am so old they now, that at a restaurant, they make me pay before I eat.

Praying for the Will of God is not always easy.

Experiencing the Will of God is not always easy either.

However, the Will of God is always BEST

Where is hope but in the heart of a believer.

Every smile is a breath of fresh air.

To discover goodness, think goodness.

The math of living is giving = having while keeping = forfeiting.

Finding the “proper” by avoiding the improper.

May 1, 2007

You have to know God to know yourself.

You have to accept God to accept yourself.

You have to accept God's forgiveness to forgive yourself.

The admiration of others is a reflection of your admiration of them.

You loose what you keep but gain what you share.
