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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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. Soon after settling in, weird noises (laughter, talking and stomping up the stairs) had begun. The [...]

Dedicated to my cousin Roy and coworker Bill—both who had endured prejudice and misplaced shame for being how God created them. They have since crossed over. I’m angry, yet I’ve been silent. By taking the “this is not my battle” stance, I’ve empowered those who expend energy to make homosexuals pariahs in our society. Now’s [...]
Everyone possesses intuition. It’s just that in our busy, cynical world, we’ve lost touch with it. While most of us aren’t John Edward, we can exercise our brain to strengthen our ESP. By spending five to 10 minutes of structured silence on a regular basis, we all can reawaken this spiritual gift. When I quiet [...]
As I walked the hills behind my house this past Christmas Eve, I noticed a clump of new-green grass cracking the soil where it broke through. Not more than ½ inch high, but nonetheless, I stopped and marveled. You see, just a few days before, the temperature plummeted to 10 degrees Fahrenheit, hardly the weather [...]
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 [...]
