My footfalls on the drab linoleum echo against the institutional, cream-colored walls. Don’t let me be too late. I pause outside the darkened room to compose myself. Family sit in chairs huddled around the hospital bed. My eyes haven’t adjusted so I can’t see her, but I hear labored breathing. Ruby’s still alive. I’ve never [...]
I’m tired of waiting. I want it now! Okay, so patience is not one of my strengths. I once thought I needed patience to give God time to work within me and prepare me for the next step in my life. This view was simplistic. Yes, we need to grow, but God’s vast plan incorporates [...]
Once, I thought all psychics and mediums were con artists. Now, I realize there are truly gifted individuals, but scam artists lurk out there as well. So, how do you figure out who’s playing you and who’s genuine? Consider the following: Cold psychic reading An observant individual can glean a great deal of information through [...]
See last week’s post for details about three ghostly buildings. Gold Hill Hotel, Gold Hill, Nev. Not to be confused with the Goldfield in central Nevada, the Gold Hill Hotel is located about a mile southwest of Virginia City.

Someone I love claims to live without spirituality. But I disagree. I see his countenance [...]
When scientists acknowledge the authenticity of the afterlife, it makes me giddy. They validate my beliefs, even if they aren’t referring specifically to my experience. In the book, Proof of Heaven, Harvard-educated neurosurgeon, Eben Alexander, outlines how his near-death experience (NDE) proves we survive in a different dimension when our physical bodies cease to exist.

I was so overwhelmed that I needed to process the paranormal activity I experienced and work out how it impacted my beliefs about my world and Christianity. But there was another reason I never wanted to enter that historic building again. [...]
Satan constantly tries to get me to stumble and stray from the Lord. And, to overcome this constant threat, I need vigilance and determination to behave in as saintly way as possible.

My friend, uncomfortable with his new business space, wanted to know if I could come by. He explained that he and his business partner opened a music/video recording studio in an old renovated house just west of downtown Reno.
