Thank you!! I was surprised to see this thread still here.....forget all the negatives......you are still the same good hearted person.....good always outweighs the bad!!!!!!!!!!
Religion is punishment to me. I find more freedom and peace in simply being spiritual. I am not for rituals and ho hum gospel. I do however find a lot of strength in confessing the word of God out of my mouth. "Out of the abundance of the heart, the MOUTH speaks" Matthew 12:34" and "Every idle word that men shall SPEAK, they shall give an account thereof in the day of Judgement" Matthew 12:36 - 37 I've learned control my mouth and I control my thoughts, control both of these things and I control my world and shape my destiny. Whether I am right or wrong this is how it works for me.
Hey, whats up? Way diffrent situation but I know how you feel. A few years ago my best freind asked me to get him some oxy's. I was a restaurant manager and we did alot of work with drug reps so I had a few "connections". Anyways it turns out he was wearing a wire and because I refused too, I went to state for 2 and a half years. Everyone that meets me cant beleave Ive been in prison. Ive never even shot a gun. But, we all make mistakes. Its how we chose to deal with them that makes us the people that we are.
Yeah, I worked myself up to doing 1000 sit ups, 1000 push ups and running 5 miles a day while I was in there. I am still ripped to shreds for a 47 year old

Interesting thread...I've never been convicted,but wouldn't say I am an angel either...but my past is exactly that...the past. If a person is going to run behind my back and look me up without asking me face to face,then they don't deserve my time or effort.
I personally don't believe you should of done any time for that at all, and I wouldn't consider self defense a crime! Although, I think convicts should be forgiven after they have served their time, with the exception of pedifiles, rapists, and the like.
As far as giving you a chance at winning my heart goes, absolutely! You already have to some degree!
