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

Doubt grows fear; Faith grows assurance.

Gentle are the hands of God that hold the repentant sinner but harsh are the Hands that crush the unrepentant sinner.

He who brings happiness is welcome; He who brings joy is celebrated.

The angels who watch over you are more diligent than your faith.


The acid of your bitterness will spoil the presence of anyone you love and distance anyone who could, should, or would.

The door of happiness always where’s a smile; but a smile does not always mean happiness.

It is the love in marriage that nurtures the love that will cradle their child.

Passion is not love but love is passion.

Commitment is the measure of true love.

In marriage, love is experienced by the moment, but the worth of it can only revealed by a lifetime.
 
Love is “snuggable” comfort.

Marriage sees doubt through the eyes of Faith and sees its trials being overcome by their determined love.

Today is my bride’s birthday; what an exquisite blessing Carol is to me. :):)

Life is an impossible quest to measure God.

Being lost is one thing; know that your lost, is another; realizing that someone is looking for you, is the best part of being lost.

If you want more out of life you have to give more to life.

In order to change others you will have to be prepared to change yourself.

Pain takes away perspective.

One of the best ways to avoid temptation is to not be where it thrives.

Flagrant Faith makes you indestructible and impossibly effective.

Faith in God is Faith in possibilities.

Being love makes you “potentially” loveable. God loves you so get loveable!

The less you love someone the less faithful you will become to them.

Sometimes, what others think I should be, keeps me from being what I ought to be.

The past does not make your future nor will the future make itself; so get busy with the now.

Never allow the shame of the past to become guilt in the future.

The past is for learning, not for smoldering.

You can never grow yesterday’s crops in today’s fields.

Love your enemies until it doesn’t hurt anymore.

The benefit of generosity is not only to the recipient.

Whatever you will not forgive brings you to sadness.
Despair is a lack of or the loss of Faith.
Giving is thankfulness; generosity is pre-faith.
In marriage, if you both agree on everything, one of you is unnecessary and you will eat Italian every night.
Delight more in what you have been given than in what you have earned.
