Thread Name: Chatting With The Deceased? Do You?
Subject: RE: Chatting With The Deceased? Do You?
Well I didn't say they talked back! (grin)

Glad I don't live with the "demons and evil spirits" mindset. The Bible is just too contradictory and open to political agendas for me to take it as anything more than a fascinating book, but that's just my take. I just don't equate a cemetary with anything scary or nefarious....never was superstitious about anything. My parents are there, a couple of friends who made great music are there, and in general, it's just a nice place to plunk myself down and think.

About 5 years ago, some folks were visiting a deceased relative and saw me sitting with the guitar. They asked if I would sing "Amazing Grace" just for them and I was happy to oblige. I've certainly asked my Dad for advice, and whatever thoughts came to mind after leaving, made me feel pretty good...and that's good enough for me.
