I had a phone call from David in Tennessee tonight. David and I became good friends in 11th grade and have remained close ever since. What you need to know about David for this story is that while he\u2019s nominally a Methodist, he\u2019s more \u201cspiritual but not religious\u201d\u2026 except he\u2019s not very spiritual. <\/p>\n
But for someone who isn\u2019t spiritual, he seems to attract a lot of spirits. One of his encounters became a turning point for me, in 2001 when I finally decided to get serious about my own spirituality. <\/p>\n
David called me about two weeks ago with a problem at his new job, in a hospital. Something keeps rearranging the shelves in his storage area \u2013 his co-workers insisted it\u2019s a ghost. We talked about it for a bit, and I heard enough to know I couldn\u2019t do a thing from 700 miles away, and probably couldn\u2019t do much if I was there. I\u2019ve done a bit of cleansing and warding, but only in houses \u2013 where a few people live mostly normal lives, not in a hospital where all kinds of people bring all kinds of energies and lots of people die. I suggested he talk to his co-workers and see if there was something they were wanting to do \u2013 if nothing else it could make them more relaxed about the environment.<\/p>\n
I talked to David again tonight. He\u2019s seen a couple more \u201cthings\u201d in several more places in the hospital \u2013 and apparently so have a lot of other people. But he said \u201cthey\u2019re not hurting me, so I\u2019m not going to worry about them.\u201d <\/p>\n
I think that may be why he sees so much of this stuff and I don\u2019t \u2013 I can\u2019t seem to make myself stop studying and analyzing and hypothesizing, while David just accepts it and moves on.<\/p>\n
Much left for me to learn\u2026<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
