Not gonna happen here sadly. <BR/><BR/>After reading thru some of your other posts, I thought I'd pass along a book you might really like (if you haven't already read it). It's called Jewels: A Secret History by Victoria Finlay. It's a great read and, considering your passion, might be a perfect fit!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for a great post -<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.avasemerau.com" REL="nofollow">Ava Semerau</A><BR/><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/GOD-WAS-PLEASED-Ava-Semerau/dp/1604777427/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219792023&sr=8-1" REL="nofollow">And God Was Please: Principles for Creating Christian Success</A>Ava Semerauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10020369310073208693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-22465422716242631072008-08-26T17:09:00.000-04:002008-08-26T17:09:00.000-04:00If I had that much money, I could think of better ...If I had that much money, I could think of better things to spend it on!no onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320677622850849245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-45300727271786969242008-08-24T20:27:00.000-04:002008-08-24T20:27:00.000-04:00Um .. no.
