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

‪Failure is not option, learning from failure is.‬

‪If you are too have never failed, you must never try.‬

‪Failure is not the real issue in life, not trying is!‬

‪Doing what you can but getting an outcome that you did not want, is not a failure. ‬

Immorality is a form of personal dishonesty.

Immorality is for those wishes to self-destruct. 

Immorality is a cancer of your own making. 

Immorality is to sin against yourself.

‪Encouraging another is a truest form of praise.‬

‪Encouraging another is someone recognizing the potential of another. ‬

‪Who of you have not appreciated the encouragement of another?‬

‪May your life deliver hope for another’s life to build upon. ‬

‪What you have done for yourself will never be remembered, what you have done for God in another life will never be forgotten. ‬
‪Beware of the words that flatter you, that entice you do wrong.‬

‪Flattery are lies we want to believe. ‬

‪Congratulations and flattery are different but often can be found in the same sentence. ‬

‪Flattery is sermon material for funerals. ‬

Sin is identified by God, not man.

No need to vote it out or vote in, what God said was sin and will be the foundation of the final judgement, that all will attend willing or not!

Sin is not cultural or regional, it is universally wrong. 

A candy coated lie is still a lie.

‪Doing right is never wrong, unless you are doing it without love. ‬

‪It is better to do good for the wrong reasons, than to do wrong for the right reasons. ‬

‪Your motive is your reason. ‬

‪Love grows...hate spreads. ‬

‪Good affects...evil infects.‬

‪Never be distracted from going through the right door, by the window dressings of another destination.‬

‪Your dreams were not meant to be everyone else’s dreams nor theirs yours. ‬

‪At the very least, learn from the mistakes of others and make brand new ones instead. ‬

The more you pray the less your misdirection.

Never allow yourself to become too concerned about the things you can’t change but be extremely concerned about the things you can change and don’t or won’t.

Things that should change because the should rarely budge. Things that must change rarely move at all. Nothing happens until someone like you or I provides the inertia with effort. Inertia is perfectly satisfied with indifference, status quo, and with the consequences of doing nothing at all. 

If you or I want change we must be apart of that change.  Everyone is the result of someone’s effort to change, the question is,  “Do I or you want to increase that change or allow things remain as they are? “ The lack of our involvement plus the lack of effort solidify the state of our lives. Only you or I can change our environment for better or worse. 

Then there is the God thing. Yes, He can change anything He wants, if that were His plan, but He rarely changes anything that we could change by our own efforts. While blaming God may be popular is is never the correct answer...you and I are that answer. If we can see a wrong and pass by on the other side of the road, then  we  are part of that problem.  If the you or I are the problems let us do something about it NOW!
