Christmas Blessings to You!
Christmas is upon us, and after you read this, you’ll likely be wrapping gifts, mailing and receiving cards, and making plans for your Christmas feast. I’m grateful to be part of a community where Christ remains the center of all the festivities.
Meanwhile, the news is filled with reports of “record-breaking” spending, “record-breaking” crowds, “record-breaking” online shopping, and on and on. And yet, we see reports about concerns over prices.
Is there no year we don’t supposedly experience “record-breaking” shopping or “record-breaking” travel on the roads and in the sky?
When I watch stranded travelers being interviewed on TV and view photos of a tsunami of humanity rushing to buy goodies, I’m always glad I’m not in the middle of the mess.
This doesn’t mean I don’t buy any gifts or celebrate holidays, on the specified days, with people I love. I do. I just set boundaries and limit my activities and celebrations to what I love to do and entertain people I want to be with. Another de-stressor I’ve employed is to schedule some parts of the celebration for different times of the year. After all, we are Christians all year, not just on Christmas and Easter.
These changes have helped me relish each moment of the celebration. I feel as though I have not a care in the world. My wish for you is the same.
May the Lord grant you peace throughout the Christmas season and beyond.
Merry Christmas!

Proof Is in the Platform
In many areas of business or ministry, before beginning to do something, staff members typically test whether the service, product, or approach can work in practice. At the very least, some level of research is conducted to ensure interest exists in what they are doing. Listening to feedback and identifying potential challenges is always wise before starting out. The only exceptions might be whether those involved are experienced in a specific field or have acquired knowledge through years of work. Even churches have been known to engage with their community in some way to be assured they are not out …
Crafting Dialogue That Heightens Suspense and Reveals Secrets (Part 3)
In my last two posts, I explored how dialogue can serve the story, reveal character, and create emotional resonance. But one of dialogue’s most powerful functions—especially in suspense and mystery—is what it doesn’t say. Sometimes, the words on the page are only the tip of the iceberg. Beneath them lies subtext, motive, and secrets waiting to surface. Today, let’s explore five ways to use dialogue to intensify suspense and reveal what characters would rather keep hidden. And just because you don’t write suspense or thrillers doesn’t mean you get to skip this post. These techniques will work for any genre. …
