Angie had a dream. All her life, she wanted to act, to shine as the star upon the stage. Far from a desire of her ego to grab the spotlight, this was rather an expression of Angie’s natural, irrepressible spirit. She was one of those rare people who beamed love to the world, all the […]
How would you feel about a different kind of Christmas message this year? One that offered no comfortable assurances of peace on Earth, but instead raised only questions? Would you get frustrated? Would it even make a difference? Do you even recall any Christmas sermon you’ve heard? What was the message? Was a gimmick used […]

Laura’s blood counts had remained low, even months after the stem cell transplant. She wondered if there was any way to influence that invisible world within. The best way, of […]
I’ve just come back from a conference with hundreds who’ve died and visited heaven. It’s the International Association for Near-Death Studies Convention, a yearly gathering to explore the ultimate trip. And I feel oddly comfortable with the crowd, because I visited that realm myself, and can describe it in one word: home. It was because […]
