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

Being perfect is out of reach; being faithful, respectful, loving, and caring, are all within your grasp!

The tougher your life the more meaningful your testimony becomes.

Treating others with consistent love starts with you loving yourself as Christ does...consistently.  “Love your neighbor as you love yourself”

If you hate yourself, how can you love your neighbor?

Loving yourself and being selfish are not related.

A Christian should never be AWOL!

The world and the lost are the ones who hate your for being right, they can shake you for telling them, even in kindness, that they are are wrong. But they cannot break you; that can only be done by you turning your back on your own faith.

Pastors are just missionaries that stayed home to feed and nourish, love, the supporters of those who went abroad.

The mission of a missionary is not to make “ little Americans” but to make “ little Christ’s” of their converts.

Your mission work will likely start nearer home before it travels to another country.

Pastors are home missionaries who stayed home.

A pastor is a missionary playing a “home game”.

Marriage consists of mutual love evolving into mutual dreams!

Love is less about a “Prince Charming” and more about a hard working, loving, godly man or woman.

True love celebrates the success of others more than their own accomplishments.

Love is not a one day affair but a lifetime of memories.

Learn to be more flexible and less brittle.

Jesus was flexible, yet unbreakanly strong at the same time.

Being a Christian takes both flexibility and an unrelenting backbone.

Being right with a chip on your shoulder saying (I AM RIGHT) is earsier that living right in love.

Happiness resides in a well loved person.

Contentment is digested love.

Life’s greatest hope of love is to be loved in return.
