An Alien Is My Daddy?
When I was a little girl (think 1970) a documentary was produced based on a book called Chariots of the Gods. The book and movie postulate the notion that this world was "seeded" by aliens, the gods of antiquity were "alien astronauts", and things such as the Pyramids, the statues on Easter Island, and Stonehenge [...]
EVP: Not What You Think
I worry, y'know? In 2010, when I was asked to share my testimony (and consequently the EVP which caused me to rethink my spiritual condition in 2007) on The 700 Club, I was concerned people would focus too much on the recording. I don't share the "demon scream" EVP to "prove" anything. It was simply a [...]
A Sensitive Kind of Kid
My husband and I were visiting my childhood home the other day. We were there to help my mother with an issue on her computer. I don't remember how the conversation got started but I was describing to my husband how as a child I was aware of the spirit world around us. From a very [...]
Will God Forgive Me?
"I played with a Ouija Board. Will God forgive me?" "Will God forgive me for practicing witchcraft?" "I taught my daughter how to read tarot cards. How can God forgive me for leading her down that path?" I asked myself these questions (or ones very similar) for years as a witch, medium, and ghost hunter. [...]
The Ouija Board
Today is Halloween. Child voices will fill the early evening with cries of "trick-or-treat"! Adults dressed in costume will attend parties or find some kind of entertainment with friends for the evening. Ghost Hunters will seek to find evidence of the paranormal. Futures will be sought through tarot or palm readings. And many people will pull [...]
Do You Have Your Armor On?
I had the pleasure of sharing a message about spiritual warfare with a group of women this morning. The focus point was: No fear. God equips us for every good work. He gives us authority in His name. If God is for us, who can be against us? "And we know that God causes everything [...]

The Road So Far
You are on a journey. The destination isn't a surprise. You do know where you're going to end up eventually. But it's the trip that's makes you a little unsure. Traveling through unfamiliar territory. You have a map. There are even helpful road signs along the way to let you know you've not gone off [...]
DVD Review: A Mile in His Shoes
Imagine that you are the manager of a losing, minor league baseball team in Ohio when you run across a pitching phenom by accident—who also happens to have Asperger's Syndrome. How do you convince the kid, his parents, and your team, that being a little different can be a good thing? A Mile in His [...]
She Still Calls Him Daddy
Today, I was in the grocery store when I happened to notice a father with his little girl, standing in front of a "Claw" game. They stood before the glass, looking at the various stuffed toys. He seemed to be debating whether to attempt to win a toy for his daughter. As I walked past, [...]
This Is My Joy
The word today is JOY. I was in a women's worship meeting this morning when the thought dropped into my brain. Worshiping God brings me joy. Deep down in my spirit. A joy like no other. Now, I've written about joy in the past. Discovering the difference between "happiness" and "joy". Recognizing joy through being thankful [...]
So What Exactly is the Point?
You may have noticed that my blog was dark for the better part of the day today. This is because my husband and I decided to support the SOPA STRIKE. I generally avoid political discussions or posts on Kristine ReMixed. I do have strong opinions on a variety of topics, but this is not the [...]
“I Have Decided to Stick With Love”
There are two people who I would consider to be my heroes. Men of faith, who's lives were dedicated to freedom and truth. Two men at unique times in history, who saw the injustices taking place in their society. Individuals who refused to remain silent. Men who truly understood what it meant to love God [...]
Marriage
We Are Still Dancing
Twenty-three years ago, we stood together. Glowing in candlelight, surrounded by the sights and sounds of Christmas. Hand in hand, the covenant of love and honor we spoke before all. Faithfulness sealed by our kiss. My heart, lover, and friend. A long whispered prayer for companionship answered by God. Two [...]
Beyond The Pretty Pictures
Wedding Photos. I love to look at them. Beautiful people in fancy dress. Happy smiles and shining eyes. Family and friends gathered to bless the couple as they move into a new phase of life. I enjoy peeking over my own wedding pictures from time to time. It's fun to recall the details of the [...]
Finding the One
I was standing at the appointment desk in the chiropractor's office when one of the young women exclaimed "What a pretty ring! Are those emeralds?" I smiled as I offered my hand for her closer inspection of my jewelry. "Yes. My husband gave me that ring for our twentieth anniversary a few years ago." The [...]
When It Comes to Marriage Remember to Laugh…Alot!
We had a guest speaker at church yesterday and I simply had to encourage you to find out more about him and his ministry. Pastor Mark Gungor has a wicked sense of humor, providing an excellent way to get across the importance of relationships…marriage in particular. Seriously! He's is laugh out loud funny. Check it [...]
Make the Most of Every Opportunity
My husband didn't have to go in to work today (well…he will go in TONIGHT, but I digress) so he spent some time getting caught up on some things around the house. Things like making sure my new laptop (YES…it finally arrived!) works properly and installing a new counter top in the bathroom. The previous [...]
Little Things Mean Alot
There are two things in this world which stand out as provoking serious trepidation in my heart. Confined spaces… And ironing. No, seriously. I HATE to iron. Why the world isn't comprised of "wrinkle-free" fabrics I will never know. I would live happily ever after in those clothes you see on QVC, which can go [...]
Okay…So He Spoils Me a Little
Yesterday, my husband and I went out for dinner so we could enjoy a date night on Valentine's Day. It's something we started doing a few years ago in lieu of cards and candy. Honestly, it's generally a lot more fun. The real trick is finding a restaurant, early enough, who isn't in a "reservation [...]
Til Death Do Us Part
I'm sure by now most people have heard of the comment made by Pat Robertson on a recent broadcast of The 700 Club during a "Bring it On" segment. Pat was responding to a question about a man who's wife has succumbed to Alzheimer's. Unfortunately, part of his answer included the suggestion that it would [...]
