I’m sitting alone in a lovely little condo at the beach.  Well, I’m not completely alone; I am joined on the sofa by my number one canine pal, Riley.  I’m over here due to the graciousness of my friend Jennifer, who owns this condo, and a strong desire to spend some time alone with God. It has been refreshing; a boon to get out there and start following Him more boldly and obediently.

I was just going to jump on the computer to send a quick shout out before I got down to working on my retreat talk, but when I logged in I realized that this is my 100th post!  One thing I’ve noticed is that, in the blog world, your 100th post is like a “rite of passage” to be commemorated in some way; the most common being “100 Things About Me”.  As much as I love reading these things (and as riveting as mine would be *grin*), my heart and mind went a different direction.  Since I have no idea who all actually reads this blog (accept for the sweet ones that leave me sweet comments – I’m all about “sweet”!), I wanted my 100th post to count for something.  If someone was searching for something or someone that could make their life make sense, what could I write that might facilitate that?  
I did a study once on the names of God and Jesus that are listed all through the Bible (since I don’t have that with me, what follows was written by Mary Fairchild, with links to scripture added). The objective of the study was to deepen our Christian walk by learning more about the character of God and His Son.  After all, if you know God and Jesus better, it’s easier to surrender the things that don’t make sense.  So, in hopes that this will help YOU in your quest for understanding, I give you 100 Names of God and Jesus.
**NOTE: If you have any questions, please comment or email me and I’ll do my best to get you an answer.  The scripture is provided to validate each name with the truth of the Bible.

If you have a relationship with Christ (or even if you don’t!), please comment with your favorite name and why…we can all learn from each other!
