Stanley Hotel

Greetings in the Lord! Have you ever been praying to God about one thing and have Him completely shift gears on you and throw in a "curve ball" assignment? Well, God likes to do that to me from time to time. Like, take this past Monday for example. Monday was my day off of work and out of the blue I had the strong desire to drive two hours to Estes Park, Colorado and take a historic/ghost tour at the famous Stanley Hotel. If you will recall, this is the hotel where Stephen King got the idea and wrote his book, The Shining. Never having been there, it seemed doubly odd that I would desire to go and take a ghost tour too, as I'm not normally inclined to do such things. Well, if anyone saw the ABC television version of The Shining mini-series, they would most certainly recognize the sights, as it was filmed entirely at the Stanley and they have not changed anything since then. And well, I did get the creeps a couple times on the tour and easily felt the presence of unclean s

Chanel No. 7

Greetings in the Lord! "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth--for your love is more delightful than wine. Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out.

Actually, preparation for this season began in March when the Lord brought to my attention a genre of video/ internet games that are quite popular these days--they have to do with Greek mythology (and the paranormal and possession). I was flabergasted to find out that these types of games have given birth to a whole undercurrent or sub-culture within the "gaming" industry and growing leaps and bounds into "conventional" culture as well that is hostile to Christianity. Entire social lives are being spent participating in these games, which is leading to a resurgence of demonology, ( ie , Greek mythology) wit

Get Informed--A Testimony

Greetings in the Lord! I am having a busy summer as I'm sure many of you are, but wanted to take a minute to pass along an article written by an ex-Muslim now living in the US. He sheds light on some current happenings in the Muslim world that are very important for Westerners, especially Christians, to be aware of: what happens when a Muslim converts to Christianity. ~If You Convert You Die By: Nonie Darwish ~ (Monday, August 03, 2009 http://frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=35777 ) A Muslim woman openly challenges Islamic apostasy laws from within the Muslim world. Very few people in the West know what is going on inside the Muslim world and what it portends for them. The fact is that through the dominant media, such as CNN, Americans are subjected to much of the same misinformation with regard to Islam that I grew up with inside the Muslim world. The result is that Americans are in the dark attempting to formulate their strategy of how to defend themselves against the th
