Happy 100th

According to Blogger, this is my 100th post. I actually was going to post something about how crappy my day was today but after seeing this, I realize I should be rejoicing over the huge occurrence of numerical triumph. So in honor of my 100th post here are a few random things I have learned this week:

1. It is fun looking at old vacation pictures. They remind you of fun times and great friends.

2. Spending time with family can be a wonderful time filled with joy and laughter.

3. You know you are getting old when you are happy about getting a bathrobe for your birthday.

4. Your true friends are people who know your past and love you anyway...whether you knew they knew or not.

5. Raspberry Hot Chocolate and Oreo Cheesecake can make a difficult conversation much easier.

6. Wal-marts never have the exact same layout from store to store.

7. Teaching your dad to ask before messing with the car's thermostat can be trying.

8. Realizing later on that it is better to choose your battles with your dad is humbling.

9. My nephew Brent is really quite good at Taekwondo and is willing to "face" people almost twice his size and age.

10. Second month's car payment is not as fun as the first car payment.

11. Singing about Bealuh Land has a totally different meaning at age 30 than 12.

12. Church potlucks are still a wonderful tradition, and perhaps more true First Century Christianity than many "acts of worship" during the "worship hour."

13. Sometimes you just have to ask for a hug.

14. Missing your roommate is ok.

15. Wishing your roommate would leave is ok too.

16. Having lunch with someone who thinks different than you is better than eating with somone who thinks exactly like you.

17. Buying lunch for college students is food for the soul.

18. Cleaning your room and making your bed is very restful.

19. Jumping on the trampoline can be a great time to spend with God.

20. It is just plain wierd (in a good way) to see wedding rings on your best friends fingers.

21. Dating is a lot more difficult than it was in grade school. I think we should go back to "Do you like me? Check yes or no" Direct and to the point.

22. The Kingdom of God is much bigger than your church family.

23. Not everyone in the world celebrates Christmas with presents.

24. "Rainy Days and Mondays" do always get me down.

25. God speaks through random people.

26. I don't have it as bad as Peter and John in Acts 3 & 4.

27. Isaiah 43 ROCKS!

28. Fear of changing jobs/careers is one of my biggests fears.

29. My grandmother Jones is not old enough to use a walker. (so she says)

30. My grandmother Jones still loves to take pictures from the neck down.

31. 80 ounces of water is a heck of a lot of water.

So I could go on but it is getting late and I really should have already been in bed.
