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

On one hand, I'm indecisive; but on the other, I'm not so much.
So what is the answer?

Try to laugh more than you cry, if you find that difficult...try looking in the mirror.

Accepting your limits is far easier than challenging them.

Mercy is becoming a rare commodity among believer for fallen believer.

Challenge yourself to change what you need to change, and to fortify yourself ,keeping what should never change.

Demanding power over others is an example of personal tradgy in the making. The only way to rule ove others successfull is for them to love you as you love them.

Push yourself...while giving others a helping hand.

It is not your “self esteem” that is your big issue to your personal success, it is your “God esteem” than really matters.

Christians are not nor should they be programmed or directed, they are lead...by the Spirit.

Stop measuring your spirituality by what you don’t do or by what you have given up; and start measuring your spirtuality by what you do, who you love, and by who you are willing to include, show mercy to, and by who you serve who can do nothing for you or your church.

It is not your testimony that will matter on Judgement Day; it will be Jesus saying “ Their one of mine!” That will matter.

Leadership,is about knowing where you are going, before asking others to follow you. 

It is not what you can’t do that should bother you, it is what you should do and can do,  but don’t  do...now that should bother you.

Faith and hope are “stimulus programs” for the believers.

The prejudices I should fear the most, are my own; the ones  that I am unaware of...or that I am are aware of and still practice.

Greed is wanting to reward yourself with something you haven’t earned.
