The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
—Jeremiah 31:3
"It's true," we editors tell young people over and over again— during writing workshops, on the phone, by e-mail, in precious one-on-one chats here in our offices, or when we meet up together on the road— we value your voices. Based on the significant increase in submissions from teens and college students we get here at the Journal. as well as at our sister publication the Christian Science Sentinel, they're beginning to believe it— to believe that they really do have a place in our magazine. And most of all, that we know they have something worthwhile to say.
