Welcome to Douglas Wilson's Blog and May Blog, presented by Canon Press.

Good news and hope for D Transitioners, February 15th, 2023.

The characters and situations in the following letter are entirely fictional, but the circumstances

that make such a letter necessary are a true horror show and not fictional at all.

With fictional characters in a true situation, the letters composed in the conviction that

the grace of God is powerful enough to reach down and salvage the image of God, whatever

the wreckage around that image might be.

A letter.

Dear Candace, it is good to be able to use your given Christian name freely again.

We never stopped using it when we were praying for you, but it is good not to have to worry

about giving offense.

Your mom told Nancy about your talk with your family last week and about your deeper

grettes over transitioning.

We are most grateful to God for this turn of events and we have been thanking him continuously

for it.

Your mom also mentioned that you said you wouldn't mind at all hearing from me, which we are

most grateful for as well.

As you know, doubt recall our last communication was pretty rocky.

I'm not your uncle, but I am an almost uncle and we care a great deal about you.

I hope you find this letter helpful.

My thoughts here are not really systematically arranged, but I think I can say that they

are the most important issues for you to be praying about and working through.
