Hello, my friends, and welcome to Life with Sally podcast.

I'm so glad you're here.

So please make yourself a cup of tea and come on in.

Thank you. Please make yourself a cup of tea and come on in. Hello, all of you dear friends. This is Sally, and I'm, as it said, a minute ago on my introduction, and I'm really excited to be with you today. I have talked with many people. Many people wrote me letters about

what they wanted me to write about. And also, we've gone through our own ups and downs and

all, which is pretty typical for a family in a fallen world. But I have been kind of plying my mind with all sorts of movies,

series, books that are filled with pictures of people who fight, who keep going, who bring

light, who bring beauty, who overcome the difficulties by faith and who love well.

And anyway, I think whatever you sow in your mind and in your heart, you're probably going to reap.

But I just, so I was excited to do this today, this particular podcast or whatever you want to call it.

The reason I'm saying that is because I'm distractedly looking at my computer to find the article that I had written.

I've had one of those days today.

I'm sure you have had days like this before.

I'm not very administrative, but I have had one of those days today. I'm sure you have had days like this before. I have,

I'm not very administrative, but I have had to learn how to be administrative at times because I live a life of travel. Clay helps me so much, though. I have all these different things going on my life. I've had

publishers and interviews, and then I talk to at least a couple of my kids every day, and they

have issues, and they're helping me, and I'm helping them, and we're talking to the babies,

and anyway, there's still people that want to eat in my house and then

it has to be cleaned up again. And there's all sorts of sweet, wonderful people in my life

who are going through tragedies and desperate times. And so anyway, I have been distracted but trying really hard to focus on some of the things

that I've been thinking about.

Many of you know that I am a person of candles.
