Hello all you beautiful people and welcome to the glorious and the mundane podcast.

I'm your host Kristine Ockles.

I'm welcoming myself along with you back to our summer in the psalm series.

You didn't know it but I recorded both of those last two episodes actually within a few

days of each other so that my family and I could disappear for several days into the

mountains of Colorado.

So in many ways I feel like I'm re-entering the podcast world and especially our summer

in the psalm series and thankfully it has been a sweet re-entry as I share with you on Patreon

that I woke up thinking about all of you and that makes me grateful that God put you

on my heart and that this feels like a joy today to get back to the podcast.

It's always fun when the stuff that we're doing and we're about is life giving to us at

the same time.

Our time away was everything our family needed and more.

Nathan and I because we travel so much have always sought solace by sort of vacationing

at home and honestly any money we would have spent on vacation through the years we've

often just invested it in our home but lost value ranch however is a place that will now

always be very near and dear to our hearts.

We are so very grateful for some family friends who helped make it possible for us to have

the lost value ranch experience this summer.

Yes it is an investment but I will tell you this if you make the investment it's worth

every dime and that is no hype.

Honestly it kind of broadsided us as far as how much we needed to unplug.
