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

Often to be right with God you need to be wrong with the world.

Hope is the vision of faith.

What you write on the pages of every day is what will be read on Judgment day.

To live happily ever after I must be headed to the only place that it is possible.

The best deal is the one you give a needy neighbor.

Integrity is a bi-product of Godliness.

Keep yourself from misery by helping others.

Truth is not an option, it is a foundation.

Forgiving others is a way to a personal blessing.

When in a fog, truth becomes your light.

Does the secular take more of your time than the sacred?
If so, learn to give thanks in all things.

High dollar items tend to be of little value to life.

Measure your blessing with the same zeal you measure the fish you caught.

The best meditation is allowing God to think for you,
and then with you.

Never speculate with what God has promised you.

A bee goes from flower to flower giving life and stinging those who try to stop him.

Giving is measured by what you have not by what you give.

Better, a penny from a poor man than a dollar from a rich man.

The stress of time tends to leach out the meaning of life.

A week without prayer weakens a man.

Lord, help me to recognize my blessings.

For most couples, in sickness and in health, is more tolerable, than for richer and for poorer.

We live in a world that measures your success by
what you left behind
.


A Christian sends ahead what he can and
invests the rest in others.


Your tieth is the mortgage on your heavenly home.

Memories are both painful and encouraging, you choose which to honor.

Do you feel His hand on your shoulder today?

To be faithful one must first learn patience.

May your act of kindness, not be an act.

Your reputation is not of your choosing, but of your doing.

Savor the blessing of your brothers.

Gather the wisdom of others, but distil it through the Word of God.

The best gifts are the ones given out of love, not obligation.

Truth cannot be governed by discretion.

The destination is wonderful, but the joy is in the journey.

Better to get a raw deal than to give one.

A friend prayed lead me Lord to where you can bless me. I had to pray bless me Lord while you lead me.

When I measure out my time today, how will I divide it up?

How much time will my family get, I get, work get, play get, and how much time will my Soul get?

Further the Kingdom of God in your life by furthering the Kingdom of God in some other life.

To be lovable you must first forgive others and then yourself.

Wisdom is the mixture of knowledge and faith.

No one deserves a blessing.

Hope is an entitlement of faith.

Enthusiasm is the energy of hope.

Remember what you believe even when your mind refutes it.

Perseverance is stubbornness used correctly.

Acquiesce all of the way down to principle.

Always judge the way you wish to be judged.

The finer things in life are often the simplest.

Frustration, pain, suffering are part of life, misery is a choice.


Never underestimate the power of ignorance.


Hope is a plan, hopelessness is not.

Every marriage has a flavor of its own.


Everyday is as special as you make it.

Home is where your prayers reside.

How do you count an underserved blessing?

Your mind is the container of your history; your soul keeps the quality of your life.

We suffer from a poverty of dignity.

Memory is slanted towards ones own protection.

A true friend is not easily rejected.

Some friendships need not be maintained, as they are always there.

A common spirit is the bases of most friendships.

Close friendships are a result of time invested.


A true friend carries your pain in their heart.

Monday, October 15, 2007

Rejection is one of the prices of being friendly.

When you are rejected by others, it is not about your value but anothers preference.

Your value was established at the Cross for eternity.

One remembers hurt more than healing.

Spare others, the pain of your weakness.

THE FOUR BLESSED LOOKS

Look back and thank God.

Look forward and trust God.

Look around and serve God.

Look within and find God!"

Saturday, October 13, 2007

The standard for purity has never changed.

Expectations can become the curse of daily life.

Every moment of your freedom had been paid for with someone’s blood.

Friendship is more work than fellowship.

Read for knowledge, listen for understanding and decide with wisdom.

Revival is for those that first had life.

The fear of failure is failure.

To exercise wisdom one must first know the truth.

It is fall and Nature calls out its praises to God.

Every bird I see is a miracle of design, not of chance.

Keep your stress wound around the Bible and squeeze as much as you like.

There no fire escapes from Hell.

A silver tongue comforts, but deeds are golden.

Treasure every minuet, hour, and day and your life will take care of itself.

Random choice could never build and eye.

Wednesday, October 10, 2007

Everyday that passes through your life is expecting some contribution for you. What is your today?

To find truth one must have the right attitude.

Truths are obvious; lies require creativity.

Marriage is faith in promises and expectations shared by one another.

Fear is spiritual blindness.

Appeal from your heart and people hear with heart; appeal from your head they hear from their head.
Garry Merritt

A holy heart leads to a whole life.

Saturate you bone of contention with love.

Knowing the truth brings understanding obeying the truth brings happiness.

Hardening your heart, hardens your life.

The beginning of tomorrow is not nearly as valuable as the dawning of today. For it is today that I must grasp the importance of the hour.

If I miss that importance, the hours that are to come will be use unwisely and my life will eventually become unmanageable.

So the flavor of today must be tasted and understood if I am to improve my walk tomorrow.

Where and how can I make this sudden adjustment to the meaning of today, which rushes upon me?

I fully must access the parameters of its meaning or the worth of it shall slip away before I know it.

Ah, then another Created day will pass away under explored and under appreciated, never to returned again.

You can mean what you say without being mean.

Ideas are thoughts crashing together.

The treasury of the mind contains the memories of good things you have done.

Dreams are good thing you want to do.

Plans are the shoes of dreams.

Thursday, October 04, 2007

Forsake the guilt of the past but not its lessons.

I did not know what I said until I saw the effect it had.

Never be surprised at answered prayer.

Some of your greatest blessings are the ones you could not ask for.

Most men hear fine and listen poorly.

May your life say something louder than you can shout.

If religion is the pearl of the sciences, then Christianity is the diamond.

No matter how sincere or passionate you are, wrong is still wrong.

Submission is the forfeiture of fear and the acceptance of love.

Love is planned interdependency.

For the world the worst is yet to come.

For the Christian the best is yet to come!

You are as mighty as your Faith.

You are as great as your Love.

You will be as successful as your Humility.

Wednesday, October 03, 2007

Doubt is the unfinished part of my Faith.

Without a doubt, is completed Faith.

Doubt is what I leave on the altar for God to deal with.

Better to be, ye of little Faith, than to be, ye of great doubt.

Faith grows deeper, but doubt grows faster.

Tuesday, October 02, 2007

Always strive to do better than you have done before.

Faith in the things not seen can also be applied to evolutionist.

Remarkable accomplishments are achieved by much unnoticed hard work.

Never resist the temptation to understand.

Learn to ask the right questions, of Godly people.

Monday, October 01, 2007

Thankfulness is becoming a lost art.

To be right, others must feel your love.

Love does not always agree, but it refuses to harm.

Praise is the romance of forgiveness.

What is the purpose of your life? Will others know it?

The most devastating lie is told, by trying to alter a truth.

A good marriage is dedicated to bringing out the best in the other.

The evolutionist says “It can not be, but it has to be, so it is.”

To relieve your pain help another with their's.

You cannot steal peace.
