“Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death and Taxes”

Samantha Bell, Joe Stack’s daughter in Norway, made a comment to Good Morning America stating that she considered her dad a hero because he acted out in a way to make others stand and take notice of a problem with our government that causes a state of exasperation to so many. She also sent out [...]

Happy Morning

In 2006, Folgers made what I consider to be one of the best commercials of all time. It was originally going to be featured during the Superbowl but rumor has it that upper management felt the commercial too annoyingly happy to do well. After all, the point of the commercial was that joyous morning sunshine [...]

Stockpiling

So I guess we should begin talking about stockpiling and how it’s different than hording. Those who have collecting skills or miserly qualities should easily move well with this skill provided they have a prepared heart. As God’s Word states, only those who are righteous, industrious and good stewards will end well: Proverbs 10:3, 11:1, [...]

Usefulness

Today I have to admit that many of my blog posts aren’t useful. Instead of providing information to help others deal with serious, personal issues … and rather than giving some level of relief or insight, I’ve bantered about notions and ideas that don’t encourage or support people in these difficult times.
The Paurian Cafe started [...]

Runaway

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have. – Thomas Jefferson
Lately my life has been an emotional roller coaster. Is this what people refer to as mid life crisis? Maybe I’m just finally getting back in touch with my feelings. I could get seriously [...]

Biblical evidence against “Stone Tape Theory”

I recently read a good article that questions the assumptions most paranormal investigators make about “stone tape theory.” Other than that, I recently came across a Bible verse in psalms that dispels the core logic of stone tape theory.
Stone tape theory, also known as residual hauntings, is the idea that a ghost repeats itself. Usually [...]

Superstition

I recently watched a show called “Trick or Treat”, hosted by Derren Brown. For those who don’t know who Derren Brown is, he’s the most famous psychology magician in the UK and arguably in the world (other than Benny Hinn). In the last episode of the second season he talks about superstition and it’s curious [...]

The Human Soul and the Denial of Monsters

The pain of denying ourselves the Supernatural comes in the price of becoming vulnerable without knowing it. Like poorly drawn statistics, we find explanations and evidence where in actuality there are none. As I browse through a series of UK shows one series entertains the belief of ghosts while professing to have the goal of [...]

Turning a new Habit

At work we went through career path training. Some of it is very good, while some of it I disagree with. This post is a tongue-in-cheek observation of the ideas.

Rule 1. You can stereotype people based on their generation.

I’ve heard of stereotyping by astrological sign, by DiSC assessment, by Jung-Briggs-Myers personality tests – all which [...]

Demonic door-to-door brush salesmen.

Corby Stephens posted a call for people to give up their stories on demonic possession. Most people responded with first or second accounts similar to the Hollywood-famous flying Ouiji board scene from so many of the horror movies it produces. A few posts were about eerie people resembling a page out of the script from [...]
