Dear Christian – “I Told You So” ~ Jesus is a ‘ten months and Covid-19 later’ follow-up to a post I published before we knew what this year would hold. At the end of January, I wrote and shared “Tell Them I’m Serious”. The quiet but strong directive from my Writing Partner came early in the new […]

Dear Christian ~ How I’ve longed to write to you again of things lofty and glorious. And I have, in other writings. But here, where ‘Christian’ takes on meaning of personal proportions, I want to talk about fifty shades of greyce. To be clear, we all know how to spell g-r-a-c-e. It is how we […]

Welcome to another Dear Christian ~ you who have read other posts I’ve written, and those of you who couldn’t resist clicking on a title like Life as a (Christian) Stripper. However you got here, I hope you’ll stay for the read. A couple of years ago when I told someone I’d had a similar […]

I’ve heard of lots of people cleaning out closets and clothes that no longer fit during this Coronavirus pandemic shutdown. Then there are those favorites you just cannot bring yourself to get rid of. Don’t really care if you keep them under wraps? Pardon me, but your chip is showing. Welcome to another Dear Christian […]

Dear Christian ~ Right on cue, the weightiness of the words God gives me to deliver has grown since early January. It is a fine line between discerning what He wants shared and when and how to share it. In lieu of a ‘word for the year’ as 2020 dawned, I sensed quiet but strong […]

Dear Christian ~ Silver Platter God has been getting dull around the edges since I began writing Wellspring of Life nearly ten years ago. I can’t tell you how often I’ve been tempted to write this post. See, there’s this thing about silver platters. You can shine them to a near-mirror finish with enough silver […]

Elizabeth. John the Baptist. Mary. Luke the beloved Physician. Four individuals. One immeasurable gift. The nearness of the Christ. Welcome to another installment this Christmas season, dear Christian. I was once asked by one of my clients how I could say the same thing so many different ways. I don’t recall exactly what I told […]

While Otherwise Occupied was inspired in a flash of insight. A mental picture, really, that appeared like a two-frame photograph. We all know the saying ‘a picture is worth a thousand words.’ Well, grab your teacup or coffee mug, Dear Christian. I can’t share the picture without the words. I pray it elicits wisdom, conviction, […]

As of late, I’ve taken to preaching to the choir in my head, but that suffices only so long. Time for another letter, dear Christian, largely composed from the inability to keep quiet for an indefinite period. What then shall we say? That is the question. The answer in part is not a lack for words […]

Have you experienced times, dear Christian, when the grace has lifted? Consider it a rhetorical question. My guess is by the end of this post, your answer will be a resounding Yes. PS – You’re still loved by Jesus. There are times in life when it becomes apparent that beating a dead sheep is overkill. […]
