Matthew 6:19-23

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moths and woodworms destroy them and thieves can break in and steal.

Here is another reminder from the Lord that your soul, the part of you that never dies is on a journey. That journey includes the earth experience but there is more. You are spirit too and we have to invest in the other journey.

So recently I have been watching some clips from the paranormal couple. This is a couple that goes into cemeteries and tries to make contact with souls. They use some kind of gadget which can translate energy. I have to say that I was always a skeptic of mediums. In the old country they would absolutely scare me. My mother often spoke of her dead mother as if she was still alive. Grandma visited her many times even after her death. Now I did not get the intuitive gene or if I got it the Jesuits certainly took care of that intuition in minor seminary leaving me dry as a desert. Philosophy and Theology disconnected me from traditional intuition. Anyway this paranormal couple is talking to souls that are either lost or still have unfinished business. Some forgiving that has to be done or seeking help with this or that. Another soul did not know that the body had died and needed some direction. In the past I would dismiss all this. Nowadays I pause and wonder what if this is a gift from God. What if truly God has given gifts to some who are on earth to guide souls that might seem lost? Now this kind of thinking will get you kicked out of church but ….. what if?

Listen, take care of your soul too as you build your wealth here on earth. Yes some things you can take with you into the afterlife. Good works and a strong relationship with your brothers and sisters and with GOD is true investment.
