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 friends. How are you today? Oh, good. It's finally working again. This is Sally Clarkson, and I am so very happy that you join me on my podcast. It's so funny because I think that my computer and my iPhone are out to get me or to prove that I'm really an ignorant person

because I can do the same thing over and over again as you know I've done over 800 podcasts.

kind of, most of them homeschool, but they're all just interested in things of family and children

and creativity. All women fit there, I think. And so there are a bunch of us speakers who have been together

for many years. And Ainsley has such a desire to inspire and encourage people. But so I had a

fantastic time. I think I only got four or five hours of sleep for several nights in a row. So when I

got homeless night, I ended up sleeping for about at least 10

hours. I never, ever sleep that long. But I think that I had such a grand time and talking

with people and speaking that it was so very encouraging. And it's why I wrote my book,

Tea Time Discipleship, because I think that I came away

being so encouraged just from being with friends, people that I've known for many years,
