Welcome to Inklings. I am Emily Bell Freeman, and I'm so excited to welcome you to a space where you and I get to experience a hint of something more together.

This is a community where we lean into discussions that will help us obtain a bedrock understanding of the doctrines of Christ.

Not overnight, but every day better.

Strength gathered over time. There is a place for you here. Looking forward to spending this

semester with you as we embark on a journey focused on becoming his.

Good morning, everyone. Happy Thursday.

And so, Michelle, one thing you want to get introduced to is the comments at the bottom.

Okay.

And there's two ways to watch the comments, and this will be a good lesson for everyone else who's watching.

If you click on the comments at the bottom,

it either expands them so you can read them easier

or it decreases them, so there's just a line at the bottom.
