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

When you threaten me you are threatening God. I am a child of His, Therefore..it is not advisable......

God never tempts you to do anything; God invites you, Satan temps you!

Noise is heard, advice is ignored!

Patience is your attitude...while you are waiting!

Jesus has paid for your today, so enjoy your day!

Satan always pays with a bad check!

Abortion is the ultimate form of child abuse!

The world has an agenda, Jesus has the plan!

God does not stutter...believe what He says, the next time you hear it...it will ring in your ears forever.

Deceit is man’s way of hiding truth and hoping God or other won’t notice.

The world gives you circumstances...God gives you opportunities.

FYI. God has allotted you enough time to do whatever you are suppose to do.                                           If you are not yet in Heaven He is not finished with you yet.

Getting even with someone puts you one the same level as them!

Happiness is free...but Satan has a very expensive counterfeit.

The lessons, learned from sins, disappointments,  and failures, are for information and understanding; not to be wasted on shame and guilt.

Every good man wishes that he could do more than he did; every great man does!

Every weakness is a source of temptation, every temptation an enemy of your Faith.

Every Christian has enemies both know and unknown.

For Christians, forgiving, is being who we are!.

Sin is subtly giving in to you wants, at the expense of your character....Cleverly, deceiving one’s own self.

Your life will be a good as your Faith, as large as your Faith, and as wise as your Faith.

Unless you change your life, the history of the past, becomes your future.

Are you any better than your enemies, if you do, do you love them?..Pray for them? Endeavor to do good to them?  

Churches and denominations can budget everything but Salvation it is still absolutely free!

Some folks think they have a right to speak their piece, missing their chance to keep the peace.


Sometimes the greatest gift you have to give...is your ability give yourself to and for others.


A smile is a laugh with a cute curl.

Complacency is unresolved anger.


If you find that you are better than you were; You are make good progress.

Most of the time, the cracks in a relationship, are where you failed to heal!

A friend cuts you to heal you, an enemy cut you to scar you.


How you feel is not how you have to be!

Life doesn’t just happen, life is a happening!

“Unsaying” is impossible...So say what you mean to say without being mean!

The chapel in your heart is the first place you learn to worship!

Music oils the widows of my faith making them easier to open.

An “off duty Christian” is easily tempted.


When your priorities change...so will your life.

Life is more about how you treat it; than about how it has treated you.

Churches, who are doing more by habit than by inspiration, are a curse to their congregations.


Just because you are getting older give you no right to be meaner.

When you don’t care who you hurt is when you are most dangerous others and to yourself.





Be a blessing. It is the least and the best you can be.

Poverty of the heart is the reward of greed. 

If you just got all that you deserved; you would likely be very disappointed.

Jesus has a plan for you, that begins, the moment you chose to become His disciple.

Keeping up with someone else’s expectation...sets you on too fast a pace to enjoy your life.

Christian, how would you react if you knew your best friend would die today and go to Hell? What would do? What would you say? That is how you also should live!

No matter how good you are at whatever you are doing, God can make you better!

When someone hurts you over and over again, they are choosing their pleasure over your pain!

You are made up of two major considerations; What you chose to be!...What you chose not to be!

The very best way to improve the prayer life of others is to improve you own!

Too many folks measure their lives by what they have, instead of what the give.

Everyone leaves a stain or a marker when they 
exit this earth. Which will you leave?

Every child that escapes abortion at least gets a chance at life!

Walking in love...make right easier to see and your path easier to follow. 

Right is right, because it is right, not because someone happens to agree with it or not.

Whatever you believe is totally irrelevant unless it agreees with what God has said.

Temptation is always a battle if wills; His will or my will, but I get to choose...Temporarily...

Temptations are never from God. 

The consequences of yielding to temptation is never yours alone to bear.

No one is tempted unless they have something of value to lose.

Purpose requires passion to begin and tenacity to complete!

No country has successfully ban prayer in a foxhole. 
No teacher has successfully ban prayer before an exam. 
No one facing death has not at least considered a prayer. 
No politician has successfully to ban prayer at a funeral  
No one can ban any prayer sent from your heart.

Greed always dies unsatisfied,
Love is always the best choice, 
Hate is a plague to your soul, 
Forgive here to be forgiven over there,
Hope built on Faith wins every battle,
Failure to try is failure,
Joy is a gift from Grace,
Sadness is a lonely friend,
Jesus is the answer.

Anger damages the most the one you see in the mirror, and next those sitting around your table.
