Don’t just survive burn brightly! Be more broken over your sins that the sins of others. Gossip is easier than its redemption will be! It is difficult to comprehend God’s righteousness; so we must be continually discipled. If we are anxious in the presence of God; it is because of our failure to understand His love or His power.
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

You will have to be willing to be ridiculed to stay right. Love takes the fear out of hope. A life that is enriched is a life that is blessed. Money cannot bring worth to your life but giving can. By faith you can see beyond the horizon of doubt.
Saturday, March 26, 2011
His promises are grater than your problems.
Faith is the clothing of righteousness.
To be right, you often have to travel though the valley of the doubt.
God’s promises are not guided by your timeline but always arrive on His time.
God does not need your faith but He will reward it.

Hope provides the greatest comfort when you are surrounded with hopelessness.
Hope is built on the foundation of love.
Trust in God is a firm foundation; faith in anything else is sinking sand.
When you are wrong it is best to be graciously wrong.
Your struggles are not with God but with Satan.
Thursday, March 24, 2011
Prayer is the cake and the blessings is the icing.
Faith helps you to see not what can be, but what should be, and what will be.
The mysteries of God are endless.
If you find yourself preaching to the choir they likely need it!
Grace is what God does; faith is what you must do!
Wednesday, March 23, 2011
Every answer to prayer is a moment to remember!
Our mission in life is to be on His mission.
Our faith in our abilities often limit our faith in His abilities.
The only way to “die in the Faith” is to “live in the Faith“.
To many people are more comfortable than committed.

God is wherever you are!
Your doubts are nourished by your fears and your neglect of God.
Truth is difficult to ignore and hard to absorb.
God’s people should never be surprised when He does the impossible; thankful but never surprised!
The best leaders were doers first!
Monday, March 21, 2011
The hope you have was given to you in prayer.
Family is belonging in your heart.
Never allow yourself to be valued by people or circumstances only God can give you worth that cannot be taken away.
Where you came from is of little consequence; where you are going- now that is the eternal question.
Don’t be bound by the shames of the past; be thankful for the present and ecstatic about your future!
Sunday, March 20, 2011
The grip of grace exceeds the grip of now.
In Christ you are bigger than whatever you were before.
Prayer is the first step in Hope.
Only sell what is truth when being offered the chance alter another’s life.
Pray, plan, and believe then set off in that direction.
Saturday, March 19, 2011
Life makes you more comfortable with Christ or leaves you more calloused without Him.
Faith is a journey into Hope.
Do you allow your hurts to taint your Faith?
Which increases your faith the most, perspiration or participation?
Expectations are the eyes of Faith.
Friday, March 18, 2011
Prayer will help you chose to do what is right.
You were designed to be a carrier of Faith.
Faith is placing the weight of your life in His Grace.
Grace in an undeserved necessity of life.
Grace carries what Faith cannot understand.
Thursday, March 17, 2011
The out pouring of the love of God never ceases and always surrounds the Christian.
Are you compelled to love others? A Christian must be!
Are you a follower of Jesus or has He gone out of sight?
An over comer must first be won over.
Give yourself over into His hands which are gentle, firm, and everlasting.
Wednesday, March 16, 2011
I feel sorry for those who pass by miracles but never see them.
Remember it is God that puts Himself into your life.
It is God who invited you to be yoked with Him.
God is not as interested in giving you a good life, as He is in giving you a useful one!
Are you a follower of Jesus or are you being left further behind each day.
Tuesday, March 15, 2011
Disturbing Faith is more demanding and more difficult than sweet Faith.
Snatch a soul from the fires of Hell and you will understand the difference Disturbing Faith makes!
Concern yourself more with revealing Christ than with passing judgment.
Are you as vested in God as much as in your pension?
Go straight to mercy it is the power of recovery.
Monday, March 14, 2011
Living sacrificially is a process of letting me out and letting Him in!
Are you reaching into Hell to pluck someone out?
Faith cannot be disintegrated by the fires of Hell!
Pride may be humble or noteworthy but it always turns the light on me.
Pride shelters you from your view of others.
Sunday, March 13, 2011
Father, as I read Your Word today, make something happen in me!
Are you a threat to the darkness around you? You should be!
Satan has no fear of you but he fears your Faith!
Your living of spectacular Faith, causes Satan great woe.
Learn to live better than folks think you can!
Saturday, March 12, 2011
When you are young you need God; when you old you cannot do without Him.
Torrid Faith blazes in darkness.
The ashes of your fears feed your faith.
Expectation is a Faith issue.
Lord help me set aside any barriers I have placed between us, for You have set none of Your own.
Friday, March 11, 2011
Faith is a hopeful journey.
Do you belong to the Church of the Pacified and Petrified? Or the Chosen Clueless?
Are you waiting for God to do what you should do?
The longer the journey the more you need of God.
Who do you hate to much that you refuse to share your Faith?
Thursday, March 10, 2011
You must learn to enjoy what you have, to have what you want!
It is difficult to get to heaven when you are headed in the wrong direction.
Forbearance is how you cultivate the seeds you have planted in the lives of others.
The born again are ridiculed but never left behind.
Have you planted the seeds of hope in some life today? Will you?
Wednesday, March 09, 2011
Pray and then go and do His will.
Prayer is the your strength and your best hope of revealing Him to others.
Your forgiven life, lifts my faith.
Your Faith multiplies my possibilities.
Prayer prepares your life to be a blessing and other lives to be blessed.
Tuesday, March 08, 2011
In Christ you live bigger, better and beyond what you could ever have been before.
Eternity is coming your way whether you prepare or not.
God never stagnates and neither should a Christian
No Christian grows without prayer, none!
God is already in the lives you will meet, as either friend or foe.
Monday, March 07, 2011
Faith is the breath of love.
Living is believing.
You live what you believe whether you believe it or not.
The grip of Grace exceeds the grasp of Satan.
Forgiven sin is a foundation; present sin is quicksand.
Sunday, March 06, 2011
Legacy means you leave behind who you were, not who you wanted to be.
Demanding unity is like gathering a handful of cockroaches; unity is a gift to the church by each member.
The embers of fear glow into the night.
Faith confounds its critics.
Wise is he who applies his knowledge.
Saturday, March 05, 2011
Giving is the highest form of living!
Charity is God’s profit sharing plan for the Christian.
God does not love you more for your giving; but He does love for you to give.
Every giver is a receiver as well.
He who gives well lives well!
Friday, March 04, 2011
I loved it when Satan became a nuisance instead of a master.
Prosperity is for charity.
Giving overshadows grieving.
A heart can best be viewed from the inside out.
When you desire good; your chore becomes a blessing.
Thursday, March 03, 2011
The biggest injustice in life is not to fall but to stay fallen.
When a day slips by without a prayer, it leaves little impression here or there.
When I do my best it usually is still a mess; but when I do His best it always turns out for the best.
Yesterday, I scribbled all over my day, but today I will write His way!
All is well when God says it is well!
Wednesday, March 02, 2011
It seems more folks have difficulty going the first mile than the second one.
People tend to be more certain of their uncertainties than their certainties.
Faith makes heroes of the ordinary.
Your Faith can change the blessings of your children.
You are here to change to the world!
Tuesday, March 01, 2011
Earthquake, heartache, and death are incomprehensible; but so are Faith, Hope, and Love.
You cannot go the second mile without going the first mile.
Given joy survives longer than hoarded joy.
One of the fruits of joy is the happiness you give others.
You may recapture the money you lost; but you can never recapture time you lost.
