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

Until you are willing to change your thinking pattern you are simply repeating, retreading, and recycling the same potential problems again.

It is only when you acknowledge your sins before God that they can be hidden forever, never to be remembered against you again.

Just realizing you have wronged someone is not enough, to be free, you must first reconcile with that person to be truly set free.

No one can pass effort on to you; it is something only you can produce for yourself, guidance or direction yes but effort not so much.

One teaches to reveal possibilities not just to convey facts and ideas but to create the potential for ideas and paths for new directions.

Reaching for your future while hanging on to your past is too much of a stretch to make and significant progress.acts and ideas but to create the potential for ideas and paths for new solutions.

It is when you are so lost that no one but God is searching for you is when you are most likely to be found.

Never underestimate the possibility that God might do the impossible in your life.

Sin is terrible; not asking God to forgive your sin is terminal.

If you refuse to forgive yourself you will always be chasing failure; or failure will be chasing after you.

Sometimes, God puts potholes in your way to get you to change your direction.

Despise no one's sins more than your own.

A man never quite understands the strength of his weaknesses until he tries to overcome them.

The more you know the less you will understand; so as we grow older we tend to learn more and more about less and less.

It is easier to defend what we have learned than it is to risk learning something new; but it can be far more costly.

It is not how the company shake up turns out, it is how you shake out after being shaken that matters.

For your information (FYI) there will be no "religious freedom" in Heaven.

Faith, prayer, and love, are the gifts of the Father to His adopted children, (Those who repent of their sins, and believe that Jesus is the only Son of God).

God's people are a "chosen people", chosen because they choose to have Faith in Jesus, the only living God.

Travel the paths other men treaded to learn, what they know but when you see what they did not, veer off to discover what they missed.

Teaching new things to someone who wants to learn is easy but teaching something new to one who resist different ideas is almost impossible

Without fear there would be no hate. Without love there is no joy. If everyman was to be a friend enemies would be unnecessary.

Quitting is self-hate and laziness; laziness is the ultimate form of disrespect of one's self. Never quit unless what you are doing is wrong.

Socialism is shared poverty with wealthy leadership.

It is better to avoid sin that it is to repent than for you and your loved ones still having to live with its consequences.

Hope is the escape into sanity, faith is the comfort than makes the journey successful, love makes the journey worth while.

A good marriage is a loneliness killer.

A good marriage is a joy that you cannot describe nor would want to miss its undiscovered treasures.

Love is a mystery that two underserving individuals can share, never tiring of the possibilities that they can find in one other, can't.

Love is more than a feeling, more than belonging, more than a dream, it is what cannot be taught; it can only be known.
