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

Without Faith a man becomes destitute.
A Christian is here to reflect the possibilities of Faith.
As a Christian, your new ways must be different than the old ways.
Jesus set up a “spiritual WIFI” at the cross.
As Christian you are the ambition of Jesus.

Principle not based on truth is wrong.
Beliefs are the result of faith.
At the cross, God, recycled Himself to the world, not counting their sins against them!
A Christian is a wonderfully flawed person.
All men who reject God are irresponsible.

It is easier to blame than accept the shame.
May the breadth of your life exceed the length of your life!
What I do is the definition of who I am.
Even if you agree with me, you can still be wrong!
You really have no rights to demand in life; life is a gift and a privilege

If you are the center of attention and a Christian, you are doing something terribly wrong.
Your choices are what limits your blessings.
You cannot always deliver yourself from evil, but God always can!
Anger must guard its own hurts.
Whenever you feel anger, lookout for shame.

Unending Grace is the fuel of Christian love.
Jesus is perfect. You are flawed, but the Perfect came to help the flawed.
What good you do is because God helps you do, but you still must do the doing.
If you think you are a mirror image of God, step away from the mirror… Now!
God is more concerned with your willingness to give, than with what you give.

Holiness is a pursuit but sanctification is a gift.
Without Jesus, you will always be lonely.
Happiness is refined joy.
Grace is impossible to understand until you learn to forgive the unforgivable.
Your life can never be recycled, only lived each moment.

We are inebriated with plenty and neglect the needs of others.
Your life validates your faith….or not!
You can only appreciate the value of God’s gifts to you, that you willingly recognize.
Darkness is never quite as great as when you choose to remain blind.
True ignorance is a conscious decision to shun truth.

Pierce the darkness about you with a smile of hope.
If you are not who you were made to be, you are a failure!
Satan spends his time trying to confuse your pre-faith.
Your allegiance becomes your direction.
When you become like another, you lose you originality.

If you think you understand Grace, you are being deceived.
A sacrifice of love is not a sacrifice; it is a gift.
Is God just occupying your life or have you surrendered it all Him?
The Love of God surrounds you; accessing it is your choice.
If you are not being yourself, you are a fake; without God you can never be yourself!

You are an original don’t become a copy!
Only a Christian can become what they were designed to be.
Your life should be more than a reflection it should become a conduit for God.
What Jesus has done for you expands what you can do in life.
The kingdom of Hope is sparsely populated.

The truth is illogical to those who have chosen to believe a lie.
Negativism is doubt at work.
Without Jesus the world is consumed with fruitless faith.
Hostility is the natural reaction to uncomfortable truths.
There is no agony like the pain of an unforgiving heart.

In my worthlessness Gods sees my value but, to Satan, I will always be worthless, except for bait for his revenge.
We live in a world intoxicated with evil; challenged by a church infected with doubt.
Life is a revelation of your faith.
Jesus became worthy for you.
The love of God surrounds a Christian but it is up to them to reveal it.

Reputation is what people think “about you,” character is what you “are.”
Sanctification is the beginning of what will not end.
Contentment is the Christian’s manna.
Pride is a disease of the soul.
If you have all the grace you want, you need to have greater wants.

To reflect Jesus, I need to move out of the picture.
Comparisons to others are the poorest way to measure your progress; only measure against what you were before.
Have no faith in the “casting of lots.”
Truth needs no shade.
The “chosen”are not lucky; but they are the forgiven!

Today is one portion of your life that will never be returned.
Service is the activity ingredient of mercy.
The only thing that can be forgiven is what I have chosen; God has already chosen to forgive whaevert I ask.
What I forgive on earth will be forgiven in Heaven...what you can't He won't.
Heaven and Hell are both beyond our imagination... for different reasons.
