Assignment for the New Year

My son made me a prayer necklace for Yule ~~ 99 beads. In some Islamic traditions they regularly chant 99 names for God. I was playing with the necklace while I soaked in the hotspring on Christmas Day and began to chant the first 99 names I could think of for God: Jay, Gabe, Summer, Dora, Ron, Gene, Barbara, Jaime, Mark, Caitlin, Kendall, Kylie, Allison, Jacob, Lee, Jennifer, Joanna, Bob, Julia, Mitch, Courtney, Rob, Bram, Jeremy, George, Dick, Lily, Alan, Rivkah, Chloe, Vinn, Georgiana, Cindy, Meredith, Deb, Brenda, Gretchen, Susan, George, Elizabeth, Tina, David, Bright, Quint, Chris, Heidi, Jessica, Lynn, John, Meghan, Don, Roberta, Joseph, Mark, Mary, Thomas, Dylan, Sam, Erik, Doris, Chuck, Keith, Kelly...........
