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

To find the right answer, you need to look in the right place,
talk to the right people, read the right book, and do right thing.

The further you are from the truth, the greater is the darkness.

May people be happier to see you come than to see you go.

A diet of loneliness plagues our country.

Claming prejudice is no excuse for bad behavior.

Too much “game boy “ and not enough “work boy”.

You got all you were owed when you were born, and not aborted.

Spend less time counting your blessing
and more time enjoying them.

I never deserve a blessing but I always enjoy one.

Taser evangelism fails while love prevails.


Prayer is the native tongue of Christianity.


Always resort to kindness.


Friends smell the roses with you.

Too few Christians are on spiritual growth hormones.

Forget what you can and forgive what you can’t.

For a free country we sure have a lot of laws that say we aren’t.

Sub-prime Christianity is in danger of foreclosure.

Pray for the good of your neighbor.

Education without truth is the ultimate tool of ignorance.

Forgiveness is the pefect form of compassion.

God has no rivals.

Embalm the good, cremate the bad.

The real trophy wife is the one who loves you.

To be irreverent is to be irresponsible.

Fear is made up of undetermined faith.

Knowledge demands responsibility and responsibility demands action.

Whether good or evil wins in your life is determined by which one you feed the most.

Principles do not allow for you being in the middle of the road.

Better to be warned by a friend than to be comforted by an enemy.

May your life be managed by truth.

The more you know the more you have to learn.

Ignorance is the cancer of progress.

Study more that you speak.

Feel and savor every moment of your life, it is your heritage.

Make your testimony for Christ, so vivid that if someone steals your identity it will be worth their while.

What is good for you is not always what is best for you.

Forgiveness is the living ingredient of love.

You can change your applications but truth never changes.

Marry when it makes more sense than cents.

To find someone who is willing always to love you requires the same from you.

If necessity is the mother of invention, then tenacity must be its father.

Give, not because you have more, but because you see better.

To learn from failure you must first try.

The prize in life is to do more for others than they have done for you.

Consider hope more than doubt.

When you are fresh from prayer there is no staleness in life.

Truth is the pillar of hope and the foundation for a miracle.

Pay most attentions to the small blessings of life.

Laughter is the language of happiness.

The strength of hope is the ability to believe.

Science can only conclude that there is or was a Creator.
Only a Christian knows which is true.

When in doubt don’t.

The best you have is the least that you should offer.

Restore the good in the lives of others by starting with yourself.

The greater the truth the greater is the camouflage.

Fame is a way for others think you are more important than you are valuable.

Laughter is the key brings freedom from despair.

It takes more faith to believe in evolution that Creation.

Starve the temptation to do wrong; feed those temptations to do right.

Good is not the absence of evil but a choice to do good.

In all things give thanks …He means in all things!

1949------20** How did you live between the dashes?

Hell is where there is no restraint on evil and no hope for relief.

Hope is the anticipation of your faith.

After death there is no need for hope.

Finding your way is impossible finding His way is easy.

Forget not the lessons of your own sins.

Peace is applied comfort.

Giving is the greater blessing.

To be truly lonely one must let go of God.

Too soon, we are old and too late, we are smart.

Health and wealth are spiritual gifts, not material gifts.

Always light whatever darkness that surrounds you.

Hope is the bridge between what I can do and what I must do.

We believe so little of what God has said and practice even less.

The application of Scripture is the work of the Christian life.

Behind every sin is a firm belief in a lie.

If you believe God is omnipresent then you are careful about how you live.

Forgiveness is always a choice so is the acceptance of it.

May your faith have a hair trigger!

No one who has done the will of God has ever failed.
