My 100th Post! 100 Signs, Miracles and Wonders

Warning: This is a long post... but hang in there till the end and I promise it will be worth it. I promised fabulous prizes didn't I?

Wow... I made it to 100! And it only took me 8 months to do it :) 

The first thing I would like to do is thank my friend Carol's husband Alan (and Carol too) for creating my new blog look. I love it. I hope you like it too.

Since this is my 100th post, we are going to celebrate with lots of "100's."

First... Let's celebrate with Psalm 100. 

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness;

Come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God.

It is he who made us, and we are his, we are his people, 

the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;

give thanks to him and praise his name, For the Lord is good

and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Doesn't that just get you in the mood to celebrate?!

Next, a lot of people write 100 things about themselves for their 100th post, instead I am going to write 100 things about God.
