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

A good friend is like a four-leaf clover; hard to find and blessed  to have.

For the things that are possible we should be doing, for the things that are impossible we should be praying.

A chaff filled life is cluttered with other people’s problems; that only they can fix, while draining off energy you need  for the important things in your own life.

Dominance is an illusion of your self-worth.

Dominance feeds your ego while diminishing your value. 

The domination of someone else, does not make you better in anyway..only being better than you were is true dominance.

Every blessing is pregnant with a lesson! 

Salty salt is God working in you…tasteless salt is you working all by yourself.

Solitude is a gift to those hurrassed by activity, burdened by the noise of “business”, loneliness is a curse most often, self imposed is bound by hopelessness... freed only by Faith, self-effort and right choices.

Taking a chance is a challenge...that if you win you get a smile or if lose you get a lesson.

I have found one the very best ways to avoid temptation, is to avioid it.

Loneliness is a prison of your own building, leaving you with the only key.  Others on the outside may be reaching in but you still have the only key....your willingness.

If you are a Christian, Satan cannot steal your joy, you will have to give it to him...either willingly or through neglect. 

You will never be holy as long as you are in management.

Every preacher worth his salt has more notes than he can preach.

A sermon is always purposed to say more than a  preacher can say on his own.

Helping others may not lengthen your life but it will deepen it considerably.

Pastors learn to say and to believe more than you have experienced and let faith carry the day. You, have your limits...but God knows none whatsoever!
