On October 6, 2009, my 20-year-old son Erik, took his own life. Since that sad and tragic day, an overwhelming sense of grief and despair propelled me into a search for answers. Answers that would provide me and others with comfort and hope. Some of those answers came from the many books I bought, but many came from an unexpected source: Erik himself. Read more.

Keep it Simple, Stupid, Part One

It’s a little nasty outside, but I’m just glad it’s not August because our main AC unit went out. Hopefully, it’s just a capacitor. If the unit is out, and it should be since it’s 24 years old, it’ll cost upwards to $8,000 to fix. So that’s my bit of good news today. We’d probably...

Things to Inspire Hope

Not certain if there is life after death? Wondering what happened to your loved ones after their death? I think these three short stories and the video that follows will give you the hope you need to take that leap of faith.  Story #1 I watch CE YouTube videos and read the CE Blog everyday...

Epic Erik

Right now, we’re driving back from College Station where we had a successful camping experience and the Texas A & M Ring Day for Annika. Ring Day is huge. Over 6,000 rings were handed out in a very organized way throughout the day. Annika’s time slot was 4:15 PM yesterday. The hardest part was being...

Don’t be a Scaredy Cat, Part Two

In a few hours, my daughter, Annika, will get her college ring, a big, big thing at Texas A & M. Alumni go to their graves wearing that ring. So apparently it’s a very crowded experience steeped in a lot of tradition and hopefully not too much chaos.  Last night’s radio show was great. One...

Shades of Light

Y’all, I crawled out of bed at 9:00 PM sick as a dog. Fever, aching, coughing, stuffy nose and basically feeling like I got hit by a Peterbilt. I think it’s because I kissed all over Arleen after the baby was born, trying to give her a lot of attention. So, I’m just going to...

April Ask Erik Column

On my way to New Orleans! The weather is crappy, but the weekend is going to be great, and that’s all that counts. I thought that I’d post the Ask Erik column from April for you guys today. Enjoy! I’m no skeptic, but I just can’t reconcile the paradox between a soul-contract and free will....

Spirit Phones

Easton Gage Murphy, my new grandson, was born at 10:24 AM yesterday, and I swear he’s so cute he looks like a porcelain doll. Here are some pictures and videos: Video with Daddy Sucking His Thumb Enough of Mimi’s bragging, although I’m sure other pictures will follow. Sorry.  Me: Spirit phones. You know, people really want...

More About Nasty, Evil Things

Sorry this is going to be brief. Michelle’s contractions are 2 minutes apart and my grandson will soon be born! Me: Okay, now, some of the blog members want clarification of the existence of evil or demonic spirits. Once they get out of the body, don’t they see the bigger picture and learn something from...

Other Dimensional Beings

I had a great Easter Sunday yesterday. We had Arleen hunt for her basket, and she found it pretty much right away with none of the usual, “You’re getting cold. Oh, now you’re getting hot. HOT LAVA!” Then she searched for confetti-filled Easter eggs in the backyard and cracked them all on our heads. Yay....
