Hello,

Prices I have after rebate are $109 for a 1 gb card as apposed to $179 for a
two gb card.
I failed math in school, but I do think that buying the two gb card is less
money.

11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for
good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in
earnest, you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you," says
the
LORD...
