"May the saddest days of your future,
Be the happiest days of your past."
Chicago Hope"

The saddest days of my future will be better than the happiest days of my past because my past was not controlled by the Holy Spirit as my future will be. I was a hellion in my past who did nothing but bend one law after another to the breaking point. Now I am a Christian controlled by the Holy Spirit. My worst days today are infinitely better than the best days of my past. I regret so much of what I did in the past at times but I know it took every bit of it to bring me to where I am now. Now is so much better than my past. I have surrendered a lot to be what I am today. I may even have to surrender my income but I am a missionary today just as God had planned all along. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

"Prompt: Elizabeth Strout says she listens in others’ conversations a lot, and in one of her books, she lets one of her characters say, “People are always telling you who they are” even when they are talking about other things. Do you agree? Do you favor this method of seeing into people, then using it in your writing?"

No I do not favor listening in on other people's conversations and then using that in my writing. It is a blatant violation of other people's privacy and quite frankly their conversations are none of my business. I prefer not to overhear private conversations though there are times it cannot be helped. However I am not going to use what I hear in any way, shape, or form.
