A prayer for Yeonsoo Go (and others)
20-year-old Yeonsoo Go, the daughter of Episcopal priest, the Rev. Kyrie Kim, and a graduate of Scarsdale High School in Westchester County was detained by ICE on July 31 after appearing in court, as ordered by the court, for a procedural hearing on her visa application. The South Korean native moved to New York in 2021 with her mother.
Yeonsoo’s situation is one of many. Add other people’s names as you pray. If appropriate, send me those names and I will share them.
An active prayer: Contact your elected representatives demanding that they work to end detention of people seeking to follow the legal processes for immigration.
A prayer for Yeonsoo Go (and others)
God of justice,
we pray for your beloved child
Yeonsoo Go
who was detained by ICE
after appearing in court
for a routine visa hearing.
Watch over Yeonsoo
and keep her safe.
Grant her strength and courage.
Stand with her mother,
the Rev. Kim Kyrie
and her family and friends.
Guide those who protest
this injustice.
Bless their efforts.
We pray for Yeonsoo,
knowing that she is
but one of too, too many
taken by ICE –
often when they were doing
as Yeonsoo and following the rules
to obtain legal status in this country.
Inspire elected representatives
to join the protest and call
for the release of Yeonsoo
and all your beloved children
detained without due process.
Touch the hearts of those
who implement such polices,
transform their views from
cruelty and fear
to compassion and welcome.
We pray for Yeonsoo and
all our immigrant, refugee, and asylum-seeking siblings
in the name of Jesus, the refugee.
Amen.

Parkinson’s Unity Walk 2025
On April 26, I will participate virtually in the Parkinson’s Unity Walk. You can support me with a donation! I’ll walk in Albuquerque as people walk in Central Park, New York. I walk in memory of Bill Handler—our team name is William the Conqueror in his honor. I also walk in support of Bob VanDale, a college professor and friend. And I walk for all affected by Parkinson’s.
The Parkinson’s Unity Walk is powered by The Michael J. Fox Foundation to raise critical funds for Parkinson’s research and public policy priorities. Please consider supporting my efforts by donating through my fundraising page.
This year, every dollar you donate through event day will be matched up to $1.5 million—doubling the impact of your gift! Your support helps speed new Parkinson’s treatments and moves us closer to a world without the disease.
100 percent of the Unity Walk proceeds go directly to The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s high-impact research and policy programs.
The need is greater than ever!

AdventWord 2022 – December 25 – #Emmanuel
Emmanuel. God with us. If God is with us, any photo would work to express Emmanuel. I chose several that show working for justice, loving kindness, and walking humbly with God by visiting elected representatives, advocating, making a public witness, and amplifying other voices.
