Paranormal State

While getting ready for a wedding on saturday Melissa and I watched a show on A&E called Paranormal State. It's a reality show about paranormal investigators from Penn State. It was interesting, so we watched it. The episode we watched focused on a mom and daughter in Maine who were being haunted / harassed, by some animal-human spirit. They brought in some native american shamans and a psychic medium named Chip Coffee. Anyway, apparently some tree had been cut down on the property and a spiritual vortex was opened and that's where this thing was coming from (according to the shaman and his tribal elder). So they burned an eagle feather and did some chants to fix the problem, but it didn't work.

The episode ended when the psychic guy told the mom: "Here's what you have to do - say 'In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, get out of my house.'"

That's what the mom did and everything was made right, there was no more 'presence' felt by the psychic or the residents of the house.

I'll have to watch some more and see if Jesus is the answer to every problem or just some of them.

It's Been a Couple of Weeks....

Sorry for no update in a long time. Here are a few things that have happened in the last couple of weeks:

1. Jesse and I took our church’s youth group down to Ensenada, Mexico the last week of June. We framed and put up drywall on the second story of a church (La Escalera de Jacob-Jacob’s Ladder), sanded and painted window bars and doors. We had a great time serving the people of Mexico. I’ll post some pictures up soon.

2. No updates on my crazy allergic reaction. The last time I got tested nothing happened. I have to setup another appointment and take stronger drugs to see if it causes anything.

3. Jesse and I are still house hunting, which is always fun.

4. We are going to my cousin’s wedding in about two weeks in Los Angeles. While we are down there we are going to go to Disneyland, which is always exciting but Jesse has never been there so that will be extra fun.

5. Our plans for Peru trip are on track, so the next step is to buy our plane tickets. If you want to come let us know!

6. Rocky got a haircut by a professional groomer so he looks funny and cute. I bought him a doggie couch which he looks really cute on. I post some pictures too.
