Hey! This is my 100th post!!!

I know that the tradition is to write 100 things about ourselves for our 100th post. Now, I KNOW none of ya'll (thats my nod to the South, since I am from Oregon!) really want to read 100 things about me, so since I am feeling compelled by God to challenge myself to spend more time in HIS word and become what He called me to be again, I am going to try and list 100 Scriptures that have to do with LOVE. His love for us, and His call on our lives to LOVE one another!! Lets see how far I can get....
