Hi, I just posted a very special interview with Juile Lessman, author of "A Passion Most Pure". She is giving away a copy of her book if you leave a comment on my blog. Check it out www.psalm516.blogspot.com. She'll be giving the book away next week.

Join me in getting to know some of your favorite people here at Shoutlife:

Welcome to the 2008 edition of getting to know your friends. Okay, here's what you're supposed to do--BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE A SPARE MINUTE! Copy this entire comment and paste into a new comment that you can send, change all the answers so that they apply to you.
