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

Honor can only be accumulated through humility.

If you have to be humble you probably aren’t.

The more you give honor, the higher the likelihood of receiving it.

Hope need never be held hostage by circumstances.

The manger is the key to the cross and the cross the key to Heaven.

Folks who know where they belong in life, belong.

Has your place in eternity changed?

The more trust you have in life, the easier the journey.

Child like faith takes adult like effort.

Good works without Grace soon dies away.

The harvest of Love is both Mercy and Forgiveness.

People who know where they fit, in God’s plan, fit.

If you see any good in your life, you are seeing God at work.

What you have done for yourself is small , while what you have done for others is often immeasurable.

You will accomplish more with a team, than being a lone doer.

Contentment is fear under Devine Management.

Your legacy will be how you have lived and whatever you have given, shared, or invested.

Are you living a safe life or a Faith life?

Leadership is a balance of consideration and passion.

Try some day to understand, the breath of the generous love of God!

Commitment contains the fuel to finish the task.

Commitment stretches love into a lifetime.

Without commitment you can never know serenity.

Whatever I am committed to becomes an expression of me.

Commitment is the breeding ground of joy.

Here is praise chorus I wrote a few Sundays ago.

I feel Your loving arms around me I feel Your love refilling me.

I feel Your Joy overflowing in my life today.

Praise and Honor to You, Oh Father, for all that this day will be.

Yea, today and everyday, are special when Your presence is revealed anew to me.

Today, I feel what I believe about you and let my praise contain all my gratitude!

Mother sculptures lives.

Mother’s Day, is the one time. we treat mom like we should everyday.

God gives mothers love that they multiply that love, each day, into our lives.

Mothers are a symbol of love and diligent, optimism and expectations.

Mother is the person who does more for you, than you deserve,

This is the first Mother’s Day in my life when my mom is in Heaven, so instead of me calling her or taking her out to eat; now all I can do is remember the many blessings she gave me over and over again!

“Here is a song I wrote and hope to hear, Jery Nelson, Greg Patterson, Glen Roseman or Shannon Smith sing.”. ( they will have to write the music part.)

How sweet is the love; You have placed in my life.

Today, I feel angels watching over me.

Father, I love the tender care you give me.

Keep that Angels close to me today, for demons I yet to slay.

With Your Grace and Power, I mean to push back the gates of Hell, in some life today.


How sweet is the love You have pleaced in my life today.

Whatever is most difficult for you in your Christian walk is likely the most neglected.

How you solve your problems offer windows into your character.

God is not looking for a perfect heart but for a pure one.

Never allow your eyes become dormant when watching out for sin.

Prayer always brings vigilance to your life.

Whenever I hear, “people are saying” means the person saying it, has been listing to gossip.

Right behavior fathers right feelings.

Giving beats keeping, hands down!

The most powerful people in your church should be your prayer warriors, not the biggist givers.

Who you really are allows to overcomes whatever circumstance surrounds you!

Whatever happens to you is not a failure of God!

Often, failures are only good idea with bad endings.

A failure only teaches you what does not work.

Gossip is a plague to the faithful!

Mistakes and sins are not the same!

Demons can never posses a Christian; but they can believe lies!

The weight of the world can cause one to anchor in the wrong places.

Thinking about good will fill your life; but so will dwelling on the bad.

Whatever has happened never limits what can happen.

Dwell on your possibilities rather than your impossibilities.

Worry brings the fragrance of defeat.

Concern is legitimate; worry is useless.

Thanksgiving wins over misgivings.

Worry cripples faith.

Victory always comes by Faith never by worry.

Prayer brings Hope in to sight.

Prayer is a language understood before it is heard.

Prayer is the key to open the recourses of Heaven.

It takes Faith to pray; while prayer builds your Faith.

Direction without prayer is a misnomer.
