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

Giving into temptations will teach you lessons you don't want to learn.

Hindsight is there to turn life into a lesson, not to turn guilt into shame.

The broken hearted are a prime target for depression or for encouragement. Be an encourager, not a blamer. Blame brings more shame; encouragement brings the possibilities of hope.


Marriage is the handing over of your heart, into another's care, for the rest of your life...while you are caring for their heart in return.

Fear is the failure of Faith. Faith is the defeat of fear.

To God you were worth the sacrifice of His Son so accept His gift and retrieve your eternal worth.

Jesus did His part, so He could help you do your part.

Giving up is the ultimate defeat, because it is the worst form of self-destruction.

Happiness is a the possession of the righteous, because Jesus has given them the righteousness they could never have gotten on their own.

Wisdom understands that honor is only a temporary gift.

You cannot trust someone you have not forgiven, but forgiving someone does not mean that they have earned the right to be trusted.

Everyone you meet can taste your bitterness or savor the sweetness  of your joy in life; so what is or will be the flavor of your life?

A grudge is a grave of your own digging.

Being humble is when your realize who you really are, where you are going, while wondering how you thought you did anything at all without God.

Being forgiven of all of your sins is the ultimate personnel  treasure.

Structure without responsibility is a house built upon the sand.

Jesus did not die on the Cross to become famous but to give you the opportunity to experience Salvation.

The friends you have yet to make, may in the long run, be your best of all!

Christian, you are someone's "living version", of the Bible.

Love and value yourself. You are God's creation and He paid a dear price for you to be alive today.


Learn to appreciate the people in your life before they are no longer in your life.

Your attitude, becomes a discipline, in your quest to love others.

The pain in this world is a result of the fall of man; not of you or what you may or may not have done, but you can add to or subtract it..

Never allow those who have done you wrong, have a greater impact on your life than those who picked you up again.

He who smiles at failure has already figured out who to blame.

Pride is a the beginning of the fall that is quickly charging your way.

Yesterday leaves with no door to return; be about today, so tomorrow it will bring you and someone else a smile.

There is none of your business, that is not God's business or you are in the wrong business.
