David Teems - who has written 16 posts on Transparent Christian Magazine.
David Teems is a published author, songwriter and stellar musician, who has lived 'by means of the word' for over 20 years. David was "Indie" long before that term was used to described working artists and writers. It is the privilege of Transparent Christian Magazine to have David 'sign on' for a regular column.

IN LAST WEEK’S COLUMN I mentioned my wife’s inability to move without pain in her back. She is better now, but it is still a work in progress. We’ve both had to adjust to the change in velocity. Her usual lightning speed has slowed to the pace of a good book. Still, in all the [...]

I WAS SCHEDULED TO OFFICIATE a wedding this past weekend. I stayed home instead. But before passing judgment on me, here’s my story. Just days earlier, my wife was stricken with some mysterious pain in her back, a pain so intense it made her cry, and often. I made the only decision there was to [...]

Touch me, remind me who I am. Stanley Kunitz Scripture says, “Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.” If only it was as simple as singing another song, reciting a few oaths, lifting up hands, or even reading his book. These are all fine, but I think [...]
