Thank you to Jim and Lori for sharing their stories about contact with their crossed over loved ones. I’ve edited for clarity only to preserve their voices. Jim My cell phone rang at about 3:30 a.m. one Sunday. I was too tired to get up and answer it, so I let it ring into voice [...]
Anyone who’s read “A Reluctant Spirit” or my blog knows I’m a proponent of respectful, kind and fun interaction with the spirit world. I believe it’s counterproductive at best to engage energies in a negative manner, and at the worst, it can be dangerous. While I believe God protects us from evil, I also think [...]
When someone you care about who’s passed over appears in one of your dreams, it’s a singular experience, one that fills you with love and gives you another piece of the Afterlife puzzle. In the past 15 years, I’ve been fortunate to receive two distinct visitation dreams. Through my experience and researching others’ experiences, I’ve [...]
Recently, I returned from a vacation in the woods of Alberta, Canada. While I didn’t bring back souvenirs, I brought home something more substantial—another triumph over the disease that wracked my body for almost two decades. For years, Ken dreamt of paddling a multi-day kayaking trip in the northern reaches of our continent. My consistent [...]
When I investigated the Goldfield Hotel in Central Nevada with our local CBS affiliate in 2007, I was taken aback by how our team’s ghost hunters treated the hotel’s spirits like real people. When we entered rooms, they’d apologize for barging in, and then introduce us. They talked politely to what appeared to be empty [...]
For decades, I struggled with the concept of the Christian Trinity, the three entities of the Most Divine: God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit—and how they are separate yet unified. Strangely enough, it took a radio interview to clarify my belief in this mysterious triad. While interviewing me about my memoir, “A Reluctant Spirit,” the [...]
God’s divine energy—what I consider to be the Holy Spirit—permeates all creation from the horned toad basking in the sun to the child swaying on a swing. Once I realized this, my view of others and how I valued God’s “lesser” critters changed. No matter how different each form of life is, the Great I [...]
A man, the lone-survivor of a shipwreck, was floating in the sea, clinging to debris. He prayed to God to save him. Shortly after that, a boat came by and the occupants offered him a ride. The man declined, saying, “I’m waiting for God to save me.” He continued to plea to God to spare [...]
Thanks to regular reader, Holly, for suggesting this topic. Many times as an adult, I’ve wished I’d been more aware of my psychic sensitivity as a child, so that I could’ve strengthened this sense and been more attuned to my surroundings. “Children are usually very aware of the energy around them,” said Gail Hansen, psychic, [...]
Spirits can manipulate our electronics to communicate their desires and opinions. I’ve had multiple unexpected episodes that usually present themselves as an instantaneous loss of battery charge. Of course, we must consider why a battery would die (other than from paranormal activity) such as from extreme cold, it’s old or expired, or it’s been drained [...]
