"Where Sin Abounded, Grace Did Much More Abound" Romans 5:20
I have often struggled with perfectionism—the desire to "get it all right" by whatever elusive religious standard may be present, real or imagined—because I was afraid of what would happen if I got anything wrong. This is a trauma response, I now realize, that had been beaten into me beginning at the age of two… Continue reading God in Our Image
A little more than a year ago, I was unexpectedly given a vision of Hell, and in many ways, it wasn't what I'd expected. Certain aspects, yes, but there were several things that surprised me. I've been a little hesitant to write about this, because so many visions of Hell that people have claimed to have had are really in many ways just projections of their own fears or convoluted beliefs about God's nature, and to claim to have a vision of Hell feels to me to be a bit sensationalized or overly dramatic, which is a turn-off in my opinion. But as skeptical of a mystic as I am (an odd combination to be sure, but it's actually a good balance to have), I think it's the right time to share about what I was shown.
Happy Feast Day of Mary Magdalene! 😊❤ In the charismatic churches I grew up in, we never really celebrated Feast Days, aside from the main ones that were Christianized, Protestantized, and tweaked even further to suit our charismatic palette, such as Easter (also known as Feast of First Fruits, among other things), so at this… Continue reading Meeting Mary
This blog post isn't meant to be taken as an explanation or discussion about of the concept of the duality of our nature, because it's not (you can do your own research to learn about it for yourself if you'd like), but I'm just sharing some personal revelations I've had about this concept and what… Continue reading The Two Sides of Me

By 'believing' it is meant to be understood not as a mere system of beliefs [which falters and fails… Continue reading Through the Eyes of Faith
Last year, on July 25th, I wrote about an unusual experience I had. I wrote about it in this blog post, but here's a slightly condensed version of what happened: <Beginning of excerpt> As is customary for me, I had awakened and was having a hard time going back to sleep, so I started talking… Continue reading Energy Circles Revisited
July 25th, 2021 I had a most unusual experience early this morning, when it was still dark. As is customary for me, I had awakened and was having a hard time going back to sleep, so I started talking to— well, even after many years, I'm still not sure if one would call him a… Continue reading Energy Circles
June 21st, 2021 This morning, Jesus and Balthazar walked me through an exercise to clear my pathways with the Light of Christ so that the Light can more freely flow through me. It was made clear to me that there are -- and will continue to be, to various degrees -- obstacles that hinder the… Continue reading Spirit Guides and the Light of Christ
