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

One of the problems with a Christian School is that a few people, you assumed were trying to do right, are trying to temp you to do wrong, like they are, so they won’t feel as badly as they do now. In a public school you just have massive more students wanting you to sin. 
Sin is not “cool“ ever.

We must remind ourselves at least once an day, hour and every moment, that the only viable option, for a Christian, is to trust God with every fiber of their heart. 

There are no sins where no one gets hurt. Sin always hurts you, those who love and pray for you. 

Never ignore temptation resist it and make haste plans to escape it. 

You are never tempted unless you have something of value to lose!

Temptation is a lie you want to believe. 

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

Temptation is a double edged sword, where Satan wounds you and discourages you at the same time. 

Temptation is to know better than you are about to do!

No one ever feel better about themselves after they sin who still have any form of a conscience.

Sever temptation is you last warning. 

Truth never changes, only the reasons we fail to accept it differ.

Truth is a gift to those seek knowledge and a blister to the soul who reject it. 

Truth is either comforting or disconcerting. 

Truth is never eroded by laws or the opinion of man.

Truth is God’s cleansing agent.

God does not get better and better every day we just discover more and more about Him each day.

Faith is a form of searching God, His love, He mercy, and His Grace...Each search, is a lifetime treasure hunt. 

Christians, will really never know how good they “have it” until Judgement Day. 

Even the persuasive voice of many can never change God’s truth ... never!

Sin is your choice that funds terrorist cells in your life and perhaps in another’s life.  

Grace is Heaven’s super glue.

Love, hinders no one, except those fleeing God. 

Without love, abject poverty, is all you can possibly have! 

The poorest man, filled with love, is the richest man you will ever meet.

If memory serves me right I only remember the things I think about.

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus look full in His wonderful face, and the things of this world will grow strangely dim, in the light of His Glory and Grace.”

What I choose to see, I eventually, become!

Pray that you will not be strangled by your own weaknesses, or lose your faith, over someone else’s weaknesses. 

The only perfect people you will meet in life, are bachelor’s wives and old maid’s husbands.

However, when you meet, Jesus, you have found true perfection.

‪Life’s is either preparing us for the greatest tragedy of missing Heaven or is preparing us for our greatest joy of arriving in Heaven.‬

‪Hell is filled with only personal sorrow, there will be no one there interested in your sorrow. ‬

‪Heaven will be celebrated by everyone there.‬

Some folks have become comfortable with their discontentment, thinking...this the best that there is. 

Comfortable misery is a terrible condition. 

Timothy 6:6 “But godliness with contentment is great gain”

Love your enemies, as willing, as you love your friends.

I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar. I hate all who deal crookedly; I will have nothing to do with them. Psalms 101:3

Your friends guide your mind and your mind chooses its master. 

You can’t  choose yourself to be your master; evil or good will be your master.

If memory serves me right I only remember the things I think about.

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus look full in His wonderful face, and the things of this world will grow strangely dim, in the light of His Glory and Grace.”

What I choose to see, I eventually, become!

The greatest risk of attending a “dead church” is that you may become like them instead of them becoming like you.

In every successful life, fortitude is an attitude!

If fortitude becomes a noun then perseverance becomes its verb.

You can’t finish what you don’t start. 

Life has two big storms the first is when you begin to stall your progress and near the end to try to put you off course.

Love is happiest when the one loved is happy.

Love doesn’t always understand, but it is always more understanding. 

Love is not an escape; it is a destination. 

Love never looks back for a reason to stop, only for memories to fuel it through tough times. 

Love is severely wonderful!

Giving means living.
Praying means loving.
Loving means sharing.
Caring means doing.
Judging turns off loving.
Hatred turns off living.
Unforgiving turns off caring.
Bitterness turns off everything.
