Now, if we're honest, reading the Bible consistently can be a challenge, but know that it's never too late to start and we're in this together.

Thanks for journeying with us.

And here's your host, Emma, daughter.

Thanks for joining today.

We are reading Jeremiah 16 through 18, but we'll be focusing on chapter 17.

And I am back in the podcast studio with a faithful

watermark member, Sarah Fusco. Hey, Emma, so good to see you. I'm so glad to have you in the studio,

Sarah. You've done this a gazillion times. So we'll link your testimony, some past episodes,

in the description. Great. I'm excited to talk about Jeremiah. Yeah, me too. You know,

it's great being here again. I love being here. I always enjoy hanging out with my journey crew.

Well, you can come record because it's summer. School hasn't started back yet. Yeah, actually,

I'm already back at it with school administrators have already reported back. And so, yeah, we're back.

And we're excited. This is my 26th year as an educator.

Wow. And I'm really looking forward to getting the kids back soon. They'll be here soon.

So I'm excited about that. But, you know, Emma, growing up, like, what defined summer to you?

Summer for me, there has to be a pool. As kids, we loved going to the pool.

Okay. Whether that was swim team, which we did for a little bit, neighborhood pool, eventually, pool at the house. And then it's like fruit, watermelon, peaches, plums, and popsicles. I feel like pool plus those snacks equals Emma's childhood summer. Yeah, you got to have that like dripping off your hand,

popsicle that's melting because it's so hot. Oh, and then, oh, and then you got to put your sunscreen back on. No, I hated sunscreen. I know. I know. Oh, yeah. So those are good descriptors. I totally relate. You know, I wasn't the water baby. I wasn't the one that was always in the pool. that I'd love to be outside.

So you had to get in the pool just to cool off.

Just to cool off.

Yeah.

So that was always great.
