Hello, are you beautiful people?

And welcome to the glorious and the mundane podcast.

I'm your host, Christy Knuckles.

And welcome to the summer in the Psalm series.

I'm loving the calm of the Psalms during these beautiful but busy summer days.

My friend Emily texted me the other day about the interesting transition that summer can

be and said something to the effect of what a challenge it is to not fall off of the

serenity wagon and go completely off-grid in terms of daily rhythms that keep us in check.

So my prayer is that this summer in the Psalm series can keep us in that place of serenity

and focus even as we unplug in other areas of our lives during this season.

I shared with you last episode about how I was sort of looking at this summer in the

Psalm series from afar just having to completely trust in the Lord for the content.

When I read how much this podcast has meant to some of you, I'm always so blown away

and I really do mean that.

And it's because of the fact that somehow God comes through with what you need to hear.

And I pray that it will do that again today.

A few nights ago, as I was sort of hunkered down before bed to look through notes and sort of

search for the next bit of direction, my eyes were heavy and my brain was spinning a bit.

And I got about as far as typing out the title summer in the Psalms.

And that little cursor was sort of just sitting there blinking at me,

like a little timer counting the minutes till the next podcast was due, blinking at me to come up

with something. That's what I know. I need to shut the computer and fold my little legs
