Hello everyone, and welcome to Speaking with Joy, a podcast to fill your soul, challenge your mind,

and make you brave. I'm your host, Joy Clarkson, and an evangelist for all things good, true,

and beautiful. So make yourself a cup of tea, find somewhere

comfortable, and let's dive in to this week's episode. Sing unto the Lord a new song and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea and all that is therein, the isles and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift their voice. Let the inhabitants of the rock sing.

Let them shout from the top of the mountains.

Let them give glory to the Lord.

Hello everybody and welcome back to Reading with Joy,

my summer book club where we are exploring

the wonderful imaginative deep wrinkle in time by madeline lingle as you all

know this is chapter four and so you know the routine which is that today i have a lovely friend

joining me to talk about this this adventurous chapter we are out of kansas toto and end the wild adventure of Rinkle and Time.

So today to chat about this chapter with me, I have my friend Sarah Cozart. Welcome on the show, Sarah.

Hi, it's good to be here. So Sarah, give us a quick introduction to who you are and where you are

and how you first encountered Madeline Lingle and how you feel about

her. Well, I live in Texas right now, but I grew up in Virginia, so the mountains are kind of always in

my soul. I am a tutor. I work for an SAT, ACT prep company, and I also am a mom, and I also am the worship leader for a church

plant here. My husband is a Texan, and our son is now a native Texan. Oh, my goodness. And I am

transplanted. So I am home most of the time right now, especially as most of us are home most of the

time. But even before that, I was home a lot and reading a lot and I'm home most of the time right now, especially as most of us are home most of the time. But even before that, I was home a lot and reading a lot and talking to a lot of friends on Twitter.

And that's how I got to know Joy a couple years ago.

Yes.

And then we got to meet at a conference in real life, which is so fun.
