So, we\u2019ve decided to turn things over to <em><strong>YOU<\/strong><\/em> our loyal readers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">That\u2019s right. We\u2019re going to let you guys and gals run things while we\u2019re away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Well sort of.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Sorry, you can\u2019t have the username and password for the site. We love you, just not that much.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">What we\u2019re looking for is a series of guest posts. Five to be exact. One for each day our absence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The posts should connect to the theme of American Christianity, but that is a REALLY broad subject, so there\u2019s lot of space to work with. Essentially, if your post is faith related, it\u2019ll probably fit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">We\u2019ll read through all of the submissions and select the 5 we like the most.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">So, if you\u2019re interested, check out the\u00a0guidelines\u00a0below and make sure you turn in your submission <strong>NO LATER THAN MONDAY, MAY 21st<\/strong>!!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>OPEN MIC WEEK GUIDELINES*<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">1.

Please include with your submission any relevant blog, Twitter, Facebook, etc. information you would like us to link to should your post be selected<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">3. Submissions should be no longer than 1,000 words<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">4. Formatting, punctuation, grammar and good writing matter. So make sure you proofread your post before you submit it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">5. Submissions should connect in some way to the theme of American Christianity<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">6. Hate speech and profanity will not be posted. Sorry we\u2019re family friendly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">7. All submissions must be emailed to us not later than 11:59 CST on May 21st<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">8. We will select the 5 submissions we like the most and announce who the guest posters will be, along with when their posts will go up, on Monday, May 28th<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">9. No complaining if your post is not selected. It doesn\u2019t mean it wasn\u2019t good or that we didn\u2019t like it. To quote a response I\u2019ve\u00a0received\u00a0myself from editors, it probably just didn\u2019t \u201cmeet our editorial needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><em>*If you\u2019ve have any questions about Open Mic Week, please don\u2019t hesitate to ask us in the comments section of this post.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 You hear from us a lot.
