May the God of all creation wrap you in His glorious embrace and pour out His abundant love upon you. With love and prayers always.

Yeah . . . you did it! And now we all know more about our new friend.
I must say, I'm surprised the Amish have pizza delivered. Don't know why. Just surprised. What kind do they order, most often?
How did you quit smoking after 10 years? I'd love hubby to quit, but I don't see that happening.
What are your 7 tattoos? Just curious.
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DO THIS.
Great! I like #97 best in the Amplified version best.
Gotta make some pumpkin/twinkie things (on a bet) for work, but I'll be back later.
Yeah, you did it! Now you just need to talk that lovely wife of yours into doing hers!
I was just over at Cheryl's blog, Mandy, where I suggested we join forces to help out Slacker-Stephanie with her 100.
Maybe we should we should help K with her's here?
Amish love the all meat pizza and the supreme pizzas (12 toppings). The Amish are just like us in so many ways yet we find it peculiar that they order pizza, I hear it all the time. I quit smoking after my grandma died, completely cold turkey, the only aid I had was prayer and strength given me through that praying. God is great, what else can I say. I have three crazy tribal like tattoos, my dogs footprint, a superman logo, my wifes name in old english and a crazy guy face thats kinda tribal as well. Young and dumb at the time I admit. Best wishes on getting Kristy to do this, she has made it clear to me shes not doing it. Haha. with love and prayers always.

Well, Steph and Kristy have to do this before we can start round #2.
**plotting harassment strategy**
Am I being ruthless?
Well, C, I think I just assumed the Amish didn't eat fast food. Although I know better because hubby has told me they frequent Lem's. But I thought that was just the young kids. I guess I was just surprised to hear they have it delivered. Seems like a 'luxury' the Amish wouldn't indulge in.
I really admire you for quitting smoking cold turkey.
Your tattoos sound interesting. I'm sure there's a reason behind each one.
In reference to #28, here are a couple of interesting vegan blogs. One is all about ice-cream. The other (Where's the Revolution) has some interesting recipes, and she lists a bunch of other vegan sites.
I am not a vegetarian, but I do prepare vegan recipes now and then. Everything I've tried has been wonderful, flavorful eating.
Might I ask why you reverted back?

Darn chicken wings (buffalo style). I could not stop craving them. It was and is one of me and my wifes favorite foods. I should have listed that on my blog too. I must admit that my tattoos don't really mean much to me but young ignorance. If I had the money I would probally have them removed. Thats the only plastic surgey I approve of by the way, another thing I should have noted on my list. On the smoking, it was HARD to quit, I won't lie. In my Christian walk I felt I was letting God down by being selfish and continuing to smoke (it is a sin against the temple of God and one of self gratification) instead of allowing Him to give me the strength to quit. I was also letting my family down, how could I ever tell my girls not to smoke while I did? And we all know of the financial and health benefits to quiting, so the answer was clear,I had to quit for God, my family, and me. With love and prayers always, and if your ever in Amish territory, stop in and have one of the best pizzas in Ohio!
C.
That pizza is the best I've ever had, not just the best in Ohio. It rocks. I tell Tim all the time that I want "your dad's pizza."
I'm thinking of doing this...very cool and interesting facts about our loved ones can be learned by doing the 100 things.
