Hi everyone welcome to at home with Sally I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world

who join me every week to listen to my stories

Inspiration biblical encouragement and I am just so glad that you're here today.

Thanks so much for joining me. Hello my wonderful friends this is Sally Clarkson and honestly you think that I say this every week, but I really mean it.

I am so extremely happy to have you in my audience to hear from you.

I pray for you. I think you're the most wonderful people in the world, of course, next to my children and my husband and my dog.

No, I really do. I feel like I'm actually amazed and feel so honored to be able to be a part of this

podcast in the ministry that Clay and I dreamed up many years ago when it wasn't even a reality.

You will be surprised, I think, as I was surprised.

I don't often look at my stats and, you know, it's just a part of me that wants to encourage people

regardless of the response because I'm just pretty much a normal person

trumping my way through life and seeking to find the beauty and

the ideals along the way. But I had to evaluate something for a publisher and I looked at my stats and my goodness we have

27 plus people, 27 million plus people who have downloaded my podcast.

27 million people all over the world.

And that was really encouraging to me.

I thought, do you remember when

Elijah said, God, I'm the only one who believes this way, the only one who feels

this way? And God said, oh no, there are 6,000 others who have not bowed their knee before the rulers in where the Elijah was living.

And I kind of thought of that I thought you know what there are millions of us who

care deeply and if we would just pray for each other befriend each other and

support each other we I each other, and support each other.
