Well, there you have it...... 100 things.....wow that was a lot! Some of those 100 things all came out kind of random. I have looked over the list a few times, added, deleted.........but stopped it at 100! Now you probably know a little too much about me, but OH WELL!!!! As you can tell I am still growing in my walk with the Lord. I still struggle with issues. We all have some don't we?? Maybe mine are a little more than your's or your's may be a little more than mine, either way we all have them and NONE of us are perfect!
