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

Management is challenging workers to accomplish what they could if they would.

Management must weed out the “I won’t” from the “I think I cans!

L
eadership is casting a short shadow in the right direction, not too far ahead nor to close to those led.

True success is more about we than me!

Know where you are going before you allow yourself to be led!

The more helping, the hand, the less biting it must endure.

To become more accepting you must accept more!

A smidgen of possibilities dispels despair.

Plant hope and you will harvest happily.

Good and evil cannot exist in a single thought.

Surprise is doing better than others expect of you.

It is better to surprise others than to disappoint them.

Be thankful you could do what you did, and plan on doing better the next time.

It is whatever you have overcome that has made you successful.

Time management is the ultimate beginning of work.

The only good in evil is good riddance!

Being a blessing is doing as much as you can with as little as you have.

An active shovel can move a mountain.

There are no small blessings!

At least be a target worth hitting.

Before you have all you want, someone around you, will not have all they need.

If you succeed at earning and fail at giving you have missed the meaning of money.

Never feed the lazy the multiply too quickly!

Help the helpless not the listless.

Train the worker not the idler.

Never sell what is pricless for what will will become useless.

If you cannot count your blessings you know little about math and less about blessings.

You can cement your principles without becoming a hard head.

When it gets too difficult, while in the middle of something, pray!

Learn to enjoy this life; you will never be here again!

Happiness is about whittling down your complaints and smiling more.

Retirement is when you learn spend time instead of money.

Life is exceedingly wonderful when you chose to live it.

Retirement is where you take only to give.

Broke and happy is better than broken and unhappy.

Retirement means, “Hi Honey I am home for the rest of my life!”

Grandkids are one of the the joys of retirement.

Retirement means more time to learn what enjoyment encompasses.

Retirement means that you get to decide when morning is!

One of the biggest flaws in retirement is it tends to comes too late.

Retirement is opportunity without the weight of a paycheck.

There is little difference between a couch potato and a casket potato.

Doing good deeds is much better than thinking to do good deeds.

Retirement gives you to chance to do good often.

Do more, live more, love more, isn’t retirement great!

Retire to do more than waiting to die.

Time becomes the wealth of retirement.

Then definition of retirement should be opportunity.

Retirement is where you can right the wrongs you saw while working.

Retirement without a purpose is cruel and unusual punishment.

Retirement is when you find out how tiring having fun can be.

Retirement is goodbye boss’s list and hello wife’s list.

At work too many folks have retired before retirement.

Retirement is when you are too old to do what you wanted to do ten years ago.

Retirement reduces your stress level, that is, unless you are the wife!

Whatever you do can be better if done in love.

Counseling is a shared journey but the answers still lay with the God.

Likely you will not be notified that it is the last day of your life.

The privileged tend to be less thankful.

Less allows you to appreciate more, it rarely works in reverse.

What you sow dictates the landscape of your life.

Expressing interest and getting involved are not the same.

Hard work builds talent!

The Great Commission was not a hint!

D0 what you can, do what you ought, and you will be doing what He wills.

Being faithful is possible being perfect is not.

Each day you are faithful lightens the load of having a faithful life.

Being faithful is more than being in love; it is being surrounded and supported by commitment.



Getting married is easy, loving being married takes work!

The rewards of giving is the giving not the receiving.

Self righteousness tends to misinterpret truth.

Time is the fuel of life when it runs out you stop dead in your tracks.

Often wisdom finds little root but a kindness is planted in the center of every garden.

Many good deeds are ruined by undisciplined tongues.

Catch the scent of possibilities!

He who resists education becomes the servant of those who didn’t.

Your life is a textbook for your children to study.

Flowers can bloom in good soil even if it is surrounded by evil.

Better bloom that doom.

A Christian carries his own son light.

Hell has a room for you but Jesus died so that you do not have to occupy it.

Mediation is only good if your meditation is on God.

You were born for Heaven you must choose (or not choose) to arrive n Hell.

The better you are at being good the harder it is to be bad.

Resisting temptation does not cause
weakness.

Be careful about asking others to what you would not.

Tribulation is reserved for the sinners who fail to seek God.

Never be loyal to wrong.

Demand of yourself to do better often!

Grumbling is a sign of soul discomfort.

The night harvests the thoughts of your day.

Never reinforce your prejudices while seeking truth.

Few men get what they want unless they want righteousness.

Not many men value happiness like money.

The curse of having too much is that you end up with too little.

Your thought life rules your nightlife.

To be free in a pig pin is better that to be a slave to a king.

Suspicion is a useless quest like worry not at its best!

The number of weeds in the pasture determines the good farmer from the bad and the good man from the bad.

A stroke of genius is usually bathed in sweat!

Learn to respect good enough and be outraged by little evils.

Never let your passions consume your value.

The weakest person you know is the one who refuses to forgive.

Often the complainer got what he deserved.

The fool is the one who sows tares and prays for a harvest of wheat!

Let God deal with your anger; while you measure your obedience.

It is good not to be bad!

The more you love someone the more you see him as God does!

Evil is twisting of good!

Redemption is for the falling and for the fallen.

Anger is expressing a wrong in the wrong way.

When compared to God we are nothing, but to God you are everything!

Anger is the anchor of depression.

Forgiveness slays anger.

Anger tarnishes respect.
