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.

Welcome to Inklings.

This is so fun.

I love when we are having Welcome to Inklings.

This is my favorite one hour of the weekdays.

It's just this little moment where we have to just stop, pause, put life back into focus again.

I just love that idea of looking forward to Thursday mornings.

So I don't know if you're as happy to be here as I am, but I am so happy to be here this morning.

And we're having the funest friend.

Best talk. I don't know if you had a chance to read through the talk for this week yet or not, but it is such a good talk.

Good morning. Hi, Emily. How are you? I'm good. I can see you're in your car. I'm in my car. I'm in my car because right after this, I just have to run right into something else.

And some Thursday mornings are like that. There's nothing you can do.

But at least we have a little time for inklings this morning.

Yes, and I'm so excited. and we're grateful that you're making the

time in your busy, busy life. Oh, thank you. And the same could be said for every single person

who is here right now. So true. That's true. Okay, so I wish you could see the inside of my car
