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

There are no guest rooms in Heaven!

No one is free to sin; every sinner becomes a slave to their sin.

Everyone becomes a Christian on purpose, and every Christian has a purpose!

Faith was designed to take some of the pain out of the bumps you will have in life.

Church, you are the Bride of Christ you were designed to be His helpmate.  Get to helping!


Life will define you by your patience, your compassion, and your actions.

Sometimes, the nicest thing you can say is a smile!

If we must choose to sin or not to sin, the responsibility for sin is yours not someone else’s!

There is no loneliness as deep as the loneliness caused by your own bitterness.

Silence is golden...unless it is hiding the truth.

The power of consistency, overcomes, the best efforts of the less diligent.

A true double standard is not treating others the way you what others to treat you!

Remember, everyone you met today is carrying some kind of burden. Some are light today but will be heavier tomorrow, some heavy enough to need your help...right now!

When you are in your grave you know your ministry is over unless you have left it in other lives.

Whenever you compare, someone loses.
