My husband never almost never asks me for anything. Seriously. He could be down to his last tattered pair of socks before he'll mention to me that he could use some new socks. I won't touch the subject of underwear. But last week he asked me to buy him a book on Amazon. It was … Continue reading A Soldier’s Progress
I'm not even going to ask if anyone reading this ever grumbles about anything. I catch myself doing it every day. I grumble about going to work in the morning sometimes. There are people out there who can't find a job. I grumble if the car made a weird noise on the drive to work. … Continue reading Grumbles
Ever watch South Park? I love South Park. You know you've really arrived when South Park makes fun of you. One of my favorite episodes is the one featuring "psychic" John Edwards. South Park is brilliant because they pack a lot of truth into their mockery. One of the scenes details how "psychics" like John … Continue reading Crystal Ball
There are some people who would do away with the Old Testament, dismissing it as irrelevant or only for the Jews. While there certainly are things in there that were just for the Jews, or just for people in general at the time, or in the specific geographical locations at the time, there is so … Continue reading Golden Calf 2.0

A steady diet of scary stories, scary books and scary movies from a young age led to my adulthood involvement in even scarier things."Ghost hunting" and "paranormal investigations" at night seemed like harmless distractions from long days of being trapped in an office.

That seems like a pretty straight forward instruction, right? The chapter goes on to say, "And the prayer of faith will save the … Continue reading Anointing
Have I mentioned that my recently departed friend, Mary was fully equipped with a Bum Magnet? Yeah, she was. I've never seen one that was stronger than hers. She could attract a bum from incredible distances. One bum in particular I remember was named Dennis. She met him online somewhere, because that always works out … Continue reading Ramblings of a Retired “Ghost Hunter” (part 7)
September 4th, 2010 in the back yard of our home in East Haven, Connecticut, Marty and I were married. The featured image in this post is of us standing in front of the seven foot tall cross he made for me about six months earlier from branches of a red maple tree in the yard. … Continue reading A Decade of Marriage
One of the first things I remember hearing from the Warrens when I was a kid was that Ouija boards are very dangerous because they are "blind communication" and open doors to the demonic. Well, if that didn't scare me nothing did. I remember going through the toy department in stores and going to the … Continue reading Ramblings of a Retired “Ghost Hunter” part 5
I remember the first time I tried an EVP recording. It was in a cemetery, late at night. I did the usual question thing for a while, then just left the recorder on top of a headstone for maybe an hour while I wandered off to take pictures and such. I took the recorder with … Continue reading Ramblings of a Retired “Ghost Hunter” (part 4)
