I can tell that you and I are going to be fast friends. I am a devout (but not fundamentalist) Christian. I enjoy anyone who is creative - musically, artistically, or humorously. Our taste in music is parallel. Please post some pics of your jewelry. I would love to see it. Maybe I can mail you a jar of my honey :-). Take care. Rusty
