When Spirit Shows Up as a Sports Fanatic…
August 27, 2014//
I was giving an example of a sports fanatic at a small group reading last night. After someone dies, they get to rewind the video tape on anybody they want. There are no secrets on the other side. I tell everybody that you don’t choose the medium, but spirit picks for you. Why? Because of all of the things the spirit may have in common with the medium or that the medium will get the important messages that spirit want to convey.
Spirit knows that I graduated from the U. of Oklahoma, my sister from Texas A&M and my brother from U. of Texas. Spirit knows, I like Dodge and Chevy trucks and don’t like Fords (It’s a cowboy and guy thing). Anyway, years ago I was reading for a cute little college girl at a psychic fair. He uncle came in as big as John Wayne. He was an avid hunter and he showed me he had trophy head mounts all over his house, he had shown the girl and her sister how to shot a rifle, owned a jeep with a roll bar and took the girls on fast and furious rides in the rugged countryside. He showed me he was sitting in his spacious living room in his favorite big red leather chair, drinking a Coors beer and watching football on a big screen TV. The young girl validated all of this and was so excited that her uncle came through. About that time the uncle switched my focus to the TV and the scene got bigger and bigger as I was trying to make out who was playing on the TV. All of a sudden a player broke for the end zone and dove across the goal line to score a touchdown and I could see the Texas A&M logo on the helmet. I just blurted out, “Oh my God, he’s a freakin’ Aggie!” The young lady shouted, “Yes!” and as the picture in my head zoomed out the Aggie uncle was holding up his beer with one hand and giving me the Gig ‘em Aggie sign with his other. I was just shaking my head. My God, they let Aggie fans in heaven and let them run around with everybody else!
Since then, I frequently have “the enemy” come through in readings. I guess it doesn’t help matters that I live in Texas. Sometimes the first thing spirit shows me is a Hook ‘em horns sign, Texas Longhorns hanging on the wall or a UT jersey, just to rub my nose in it and tell me what I’m in for. These are usually strong and loud spirits. You keep your personality on the other side. If you were a serious person in life, you’re a serious person in heaven. If you’re a joker, like me in life, well you get it. I don’t take it personally; I can take it and dish it out like the best of them. I might say something like, “Poor soul, he graduated from the University of Texas.” to the delight of the sitter. If you don’t ask they may not tell you so I always ask. What was your favorite drink, team, car or truck? If they come back with, “OU Sooners, Dodge trucks and Jose Cuervo Gold.” I say a little pray for this soul, “Please God, Bless this soul and let Sooners win one more national title before I die.” And I tell spirit the next shot of Cuervo Gold is for you!
You’ve gotta’ love those sports fanatics in heaven!
