100

Tomorrow marks 100. Wow.

It is  hard to believe that it has been two years already. But as “they” say, time flies when you are having fun, right?

I can’t put into a short blog post a complete download of what these 99 Sundays at OneLife have been like, but they have been nothing short of a miracle. Literally.
