0:00.0	Hi, everyone. Welcome to At Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson, and I have the biggest
0:13.0	privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every week
0:19.0	to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement, and I am just so
0:24.4	glad that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me.
0:36.9	Hello, my dear friends. I am so happy that you join me today. I'm Sally Clarkson, and guess where I am? I am in my beloved Oxford, my second home, where three of my four children live and where four grandchildren live as well as one
1:00.9	soon to come. And it's just such a second home to me because I lived here for the past few years.
1:15.0	And so I'm riding you with adventures from Oxford today. I hope you're doing well. I have had the most wonderful messages and comments and people
1:23.8	sending me emails. And I just am thankful for all of you and I have you in my heart all
1:29.5	the time. Well, I've got some fun things to tell you, but I want to just say right out at the top,

1:56.2	said, the wisdom that Christ has. And Paul elucidated the Holy Spirit by saying the fruit, the produce of having
2:08.9	the Holy Spirit work through our lives that when we come to circumstances day by day by day
2:15.3	is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
2:20.9	faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. In other words, as we are living when we are
2:26.1	controlled by God's spirit, we will behave in the same way that Jesus would have. It's kind of a
2:32.5	picture of like if it could be one fruit altogether.
2:35.0	It's basically saying that we will exhibit the virtue, the fruit of the life of Christ in the
2:45.0	midst of the story that we are living. And so I hope that's encouraging to you, but first of all, I just have to tell you
2:51.6	a little bit about what I've been up to, to begin with, and I'll tell you the whole story in
2:58.6	just a moment, but Clay is with me, and he has always heard of this little town called Hey, H-A-Y on Y, W-Y, and this wonderful town about,
