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 is a reason why doubt travels faster than hope. It is that our hearts have endeared themselves more to doubt, than hope. 

Being a “Saint” is not a choice, it is an observation. 

Most folks have a shot at “Sainthood “ to someone, somewhere, sometime, but not very often....But it is worth the try when the chance come your way. 

The more you choose to do good the easier it becomes.

While it is hard to pray for the impossible, isn’t that a purpose of prayer?

Prayer give, requires, guides, comforts, and teaches, like no other activity. 

Without prayer you will be forced to do without most of what is available by Faith. 

Loneliness is not friendly and the friendly are seldomly lonely. 

A Christian has trouble being lonely for long, as God is always with them. 

Joy unspeakable is not joy unlivable. 

Fun occupy your life, happiness, seeps out of your life, joy flows through your life!.

Being in the valley only reminds us that the mountain tops are a coming. Keep climbing. 

The view from the valley can be pretty nice, if you keep looking up. 

Some folks will even complain when they feel themselves losing their grip on their misery. 

Faith is a sadness breaker!

Prayer itself is an act of faith.
