I’ve taught noncredit classes for Truckee Meadows Community College before, but this will be my first spirituality class and I’m excited! I’ll present “Ghosts, God and the Afterlife” on Wed., Oct. 7 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the TMCC Meadowood Center in Reno, Nevada. Advance registration is required. This is the most in-depth presentation [...]
I’ve been studying Christian mysticism to better understand my spiritual path and prepare for a class I’m teaching on “God, Ghosts and the Afterlife” in October at Truckee Meadows Community College. Through this exploration, I’m discovering that I didn’t become a mystic after my transformational Goldfield Hotel experience. Rather, my life’s journey to seek out [...]
God orchestrates everything in our lives. Last fall, I encountered yet another instance: one that defied all logic. A charming woman (I’ll call her Ada), very well-known among Western U.S. ghost hunters, was recovering in a rehabilitation center from a bad fall. About to be released to her rural home, she sank into depression, worrying [...]
When my post, “My Christianity is as valid as yours” went live, I received cheers of support through every type of electronic communication. Believe me, I sincerely appreciate those communiqués. The problem is that many of my supporters started judging those who were judging me. My intent was not to stir emotions to roil more [...]
I'm pleased to release the first in a series of videos where I share my beliefs and advice in dealing with the paranormal and how it relates to my faith. View this short video . Thank you to Amy Ellis for producing this video! Thank you and have a splendid day!
Life is an ongoing exercise in seeking balance. Take something great and use it wrong and you'll most likely get disappointing results. The same is true of our god-given sixth sense, whether it be a psychic inkling, dream message or visit from a guardian angel. I've met people who've been blessed with great intuitive abilities, [...]
The Great I Am dazzles me every time I venture beyond the city limits. Mother Nature brims with such heavenly energy that no manmade sanctuary could ever feel as holy as God’s deserts, meadows, alpine heights, oceans, lakes and forests. Someone I love claims to live without spirituality. But I disagree. I see his countenance [...]
The moment I left the Goldfield Hotel in 2007, I vowed never to return. 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. That’s what I used to believe. My former pastor, who taught all spirits (outside the Holy Ghost) as cohorts of the devil, constantly [...]
I wish Rob Bell had been my pastor. He’s a man of God who sees the bigger story revealed in the Bible, not one who restricts our world and God’s power. Bell’s book, Love Wins, details the evolution of his thoughts and research findings after a parishioner wrote that Gandhi was in hell because he [...]
