Hi everyone, welcome to at home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest

privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every

week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement and I am just so glad

that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me.

Hello my friends, it's Sally Clarkson as I just said I'm in to go in my intro. I'm so happy

to be talking with you today. I am the most blessed woman in that when I get to prepare

these podcasts and think about what I'm going to say, it's kind of almost like writing

in a journal. It makes me think, oh this is what I think is important and this is what

is biblical and this is what I need to change. So I do hope that you enjoy these podcasts

and enjoy Tea Time Tuesday. It's really a delight that somehow some way the Lord led me

into doing this and I hope that you all have had a great week. I apologize ahead of time.

I am allergic to my home or to Colorado or something. It has always been that I have

asthma from time to time when I'm here and that's causing me a lot of just clearing my throat

and doing things that may not be as wonderful as they should be for podcasts but I think

since everyone in my audience lives such normal lives you will understand, I was a pre-me

baby. I was born at about 31 weeks or 30 weeks when they don't even know because they didn't

have the measurements in the days that I was born but I was born at barely three pounds

and then I lost to 2.8 pounds and I was an incubator for a very long time and my mother didn't

even get to come visit me or touch me or anything so maybe that's why I'm neurotic because I didn't

get to attach right there at the beginning. You know we all need excuses for why we're a little bit

neurotic or sinful or whatever but anyway because my lungs were so underdeveloped from the time I

was a little girl I had respiratory problems I had pneumonia many times I had all sorts of things
