At one point, I belonged to a Christian sect that taught that no matter how good we were, God allowed the devil to freely inflict evil upon us. I’ve come to realize that the Most Loving doesn’t allow Satan to use us as a plaything. Instead, we are the ones to allow harmful energies into [...]
Most wouldn’t consider it wise to walk alone down an alley at 1 a.m. and invite some scary fellow over to have a chat. So why do some ghost hunters engage in similarly risky behavior when they disregard the importance of protection and clearing? Over the years, I’ve seen it repeatedly: psychics and paranormal investigators [...]
Like other Christians, there have been times when I felt spiritually assaulted by the dark side. And, although it’s only happened a handful of times, it usually occurs when I’m on the cusp of an enlightening breakthrough. I’ve pondered how God, who loves us unconditionally, would allow Satan and other negative energies to prey on [...]
Thank you to Nichole Diaz for writing this guest blog. Her method for handling darkness is inspired and I’m thrilled to have her share her philosophy with us. As a little girl, my fear of the dark overwhelmed me. I’d stay awake as long as possible to keep an eye open for whatever was watching [...]
The other day, a regular blog reader emailed me a link to a Las Vegas television station’s news item on the Goldfield Hotel. This feature was part of an ongoing series the station was doing to celebrate Nevada’s 150th anniversary of its statehood. The story disappointed me. The gist of the piece was this: Evil [...]

I know my crossed-over loved ones, guardian angels (or spirit guides) and other divine emissaries cross my path every day. And that comforts [...]
See my previous week’s post on “The Bible advocates using intuition.” Just like people, not all spirits come from an affirming place. Some may try to veer you off your spiritual path while others will help you forge a deeper relationship with the Great I Am. Here are a few questions you should ask yourself [...]
See my previous post, “Before you cast out that spirit, ask yourself a few questions.” After ruminating on the questions I posed last week, you should now have a better idea of what kind of action you want to take in regard to the haunting of your house. You have control over the entity. This [...]
This is the second of two posts on my response to the Nevada Ghost and Paranormal Series’ “Religion and the Paranormal: A Panel Discussion,” which featured an evangelical pastor. See My Rebuttal to the Evangelical Stance on After Death Communications. As I noted two blogs ago, I respect this pastor’s beliefs. Yet, from my own [...]
I just thought I'd update all of you on a couple of articles I recently read, as well as events that you may be interested in attending. A follow up to the two posts on evil In July, I asked people with various religious beliefs how they view evil. This weekend the Reno Gazette-Journal's Faith [...]
