1. I am an atheist, but I did have an experience...

I met a man and to say it was a very strange encounter is all I will say.

He introduced me to a book..."Life After Life" by Raymond Moody

My sister's daughter was killed being hit by a car, and my mother and I went to the funeral in FL (we lived in VA)

My sister was inconsolable...the only thing I had to offer was the book he had given me...

I left FL to go back to work, while my mother stayed a few more days...in the meantime my sister was about to have a birthday...

I stopped at a grocery store I NEVER used because it was difficult to get to, but I wet there this day...

I shopped for the usual, and came across a big greeting card display...I picked up my sisters card, put it back, picked up another, put it back...at one time I started to walk away, came back and made my final choice.

I mailed my sisters card, and my mother returned...our birthdays were only a couple weeks apart, and my mother had a card for me from my sister....

IT WAS THE EXACT SAME CARD I FINALLY CHOSE FOR MY SISTER!!!!

I discussed this with my sister, and she wondered why she had no compunction about which card to choose, and I said...you know Jennifer and you listened...I was not familiar with her voice so it took me time to finally listen.

I do not believe in a guy in the sky.
