You hear from us a lot.
Not surprisingly, of course, because after all it is our blog.
Well, now we want to hear from you.
During the first week of next month, June 4th-8th to be exact, I’ll be in England with my youth group and Wes will be at camp with his youth group. So, we’ve decided to turn things over to YOU our loyal readers.
That’s right. We’re going to let you guys and gals run things while we’re away.
Well sort of.
Sorry, you can’t have the username and password for the site. We love you, just not that much.
What we’re looking for is a series of guest posts. Five to be exact. One for each day our absence.
The posts should connect to the theme of American Christianity, but that is a REALLY broad subject, so there’s lot of space to work with. Essentially, if your post is faith related, it’ll probably fit.
We’ll read through all of the submissions and select the 5 we like the most.
So, if you’re interested, check out the guidelines below and make sure you turn in your submission NO LATER THAN MONDAY, MAY 21st!!
