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

Delighting in God:

Christians are drawn to God by His great love and serve Him, because we love Him.

Most religions fear their god and serve out of obligation, not love.
Only Christians are able to delight in their God, rather than grudgingly carrying out His mandates.

While Christians take their relationship with God seriously, we do so with love.

Avoiding hell is wonderful but gaining Heaven is sublime.

God brings us much more potential for happiness than He allows for sorry.

Christians worship with a smile on their hearts, not heaviness.

Being a Christian is participation in Joy, indescribable and to be full of spiritual giggles.

The tears of a Christian are “bottled up” by the Father, to be explained in Heaven.

While Christians are offered sadness by the world around them, they have a secret hope that passes all the trials of this world.

Even in the midst of misery, there is a special contentment for the Christian.

Jesus shares our heartbreaks and fills the voids that sorrows leave in our life, with His love.

Peace is facing contention with faith.

Christians are not angry with the other religions of the world, even though they appear to be with Christians.

Spending time with Jesus will put a smile on your heart.

As Christians, you have joy unspeakable; you need to try to tell other about that joy.

Christianity teaches us how to love good and hate evil, and to do good and avoid evil.
Holiness is a process of shedding that which is not.

The Holy Spirit teaches us to love the Father, through the Son.

Christians treasure God, rather than endure Him.

The more love I have, the less pain defines me.

After I pray, I go out to do good to those who share my faith and to those who do not!

Salvation is when we recognize His love is greater than our sins and we repent and accept His love.

Sanctification is determining His love is our fuel to a blessed life.

Delighting in purity is a choice, just as sin is.

Sanctification is a pursuit of God’s love to be applied in every choice we make.

You can be pure and be imperfect at the same time.


The worst failure is the failure to repent, when you have done wrong.


Christian can have sadness and peace at the same time.

“Happiness will overtake the righteous,” and that is true delight!
