The Past Is Never Where You Think

Advance Money Is Really A Delusion, That Is To Say, I Get No More Until It Is Paid Out In Sales, But Still, Living From Hand To Mouth And Day To Day As I Do, A Nickel In The Hand Is More Useful Than The Same Nickel Next Year.

If I Didn't Know The Ending Of A Story, I Wouldn't Begin. I Always Write My Last Lines, My Last Paragraph First, And Then I Go Back And Work Towards It. I Know Where I'm Going. I Know What My Goal Is. And How I Get There Is God's Grace.

Be Respectful Of Words. They Mean Something.
