A Prayer for this Sunday

Lyn Hawks · February 12, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Yesterday I marched with people whose heads had just been bowed in prayer. Who said Amen to the words of an imam, and a pastor, and a rabbi. We marched peacefully for love and justice.

We own the words freedom, America, and patriot like anyone else. God, too. God is ours.

Many Americans are rising up to take back our faith in all these things in the public sphere. Privately, we have worshipped and sung and believed in all these beautiful words. But for many years, we’ve let those who act out of fear and hate to hijack these words.

No more.

God bless America that rises up to protect the people. God bless America that seeks liberty and justice for all.

So excited to offer this May course with @collegee So excited to offer this May course with @collegeessayguy and share my storytelling strategies! Practical Strategies for the Average Student Writer is all about unearthing the truth: that the “average” student writer has tons of storytelling gifts. When a student says, “Oh, I can’t write," I think, "You're about to find those cinematic, immersive stories I know you can tell"--exactly what admission officers want to see. CEG offers all kinds of wonderful pay-what-you-can and free resources. Link in bio. #collegeadmissions #collegeessay #coaching #collegecounseling #collegecounselor #teachingwriting #writingskills
