GRANDMA, YOU WILL BE MISSED

Mary Ellen Glass
My beautiful grandmother 3/19/29 - 3/22/13 R.I.P. I Love You Forever Grandma


As I prepare for the viewing and the funeral service I cannot help but feel a tinge of nervousness.  A tension is visiting me and will not leave me until the cemetery service has ended and I am home.  I have never enjoyed burying any of my family.  However sad and anxiety building it is, I will give my homage, respect and grieving for my beautiful grandmother, Mary Ellen Glass.  

Back in the old days I remember spending the night with my grandmother at her house.  As I lived most of my young childhood abiding by strict rules and uncertain of paths I would be permitted to take, living by religious standards and my parents restrictions, it would be grandma who would lend to and encourage my liberty and freedom to express my artistic and creative growth. 

My grandmother was interested in my artistic ability long before there even really was a talent.  I feel I developed such an interest in expressing myself through writing, art, designing graphics because of my early days feeling so encouraged by her to express myself in that way.   It is that part of creativity within me that really made me who I am today.  If I had never learned to express and utilize my creative side I would simply be an automaton living as a robot.

As I remember the nights I spent with grandma I recall the nights I would pretend I was a private detective.  I found my grandma's binoculars.  I brought my notebook and wrote as if I was discovering clues.  I was able to entertain myself.  The pretending led to my coming up with questions.  Then the questions led me to grandma and she would give me answers.  She always was a fountain of answers because she was a reader. And as a reader she was extremely knowledgeable. 

My grandmother had 2 massively heavy books in her kitchen.  One was her Better Homes Cook Book and the other was her automotive mechanics guide.  Yes my grandmother knew a little about cars.  She was the most devoted to her family and to having a good time.  She always made sure that everyone had food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and had the best Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas Eve buffet.  If we didn't get our presents on Christmas Eve then we would be sure to get a visit from her early Christmas morning.    We always got a Birthday card with 5 dollar bill inside.  Grandma also enjoyed take photos of us on our birthdays or at Christmas time.  

She had a large collection of photos.  Some of the earliest photos I had seen were of grandma and grandpa visiting in Florida at Disney World with us back when I was only 3 years old.  Some of the photos show Lisa and I sitting in the side yard at grandma's older house which she lived in first on Preble street next door. It must have been summer.  Neither of us wore clothes....just our diapers.  We had the curliest hair.  Amazing, I can remember Christmas time in that house.

I know that my grandma is heaven today.  She wanted so to be sure of her place there as she often discussed with me when I was a teenager.  Grandma was a wonderful soul and tender heart.  I love with all my heart.  I will never forget her.  Love you Grandma

GROWING UP IN A HAUNTED HOUSE

2220 N. Armstrong St. Kokomo Indiana My childhood home after the burning by a serial arsonist in July 2001 This is the synopsis idea I sent to Raw Television's Paranormal Witness to later be produced and aired on Syfy Channel on July 10th, 2013.  Understand that this synopsis does not include every story but only touched on some paranormal experiences with Raw Television producers.  It was never intended to be a book here.  The Blog is my synopsis.  Also, remember television chops and edits out everything people say in their interviews and includes only what they want.  If I could have included everything on the 50 minute program in my episode I could have had a full length featured film.  But I wrote this synopsis for a 50 minute program.  It was spliced, chopped up and edited to suit television purposes.  People write me a lot and ask about the inconsistencies.  But what they don't realize is Television has their own agenda and t...

TV PERSONALITY, DEMONOLOGIST AND LITERARY PERFORMER CARL JOHNSON

Carl L. Johnson  By Lana J. Brock Some of you may have heard of Carl L. Johnson.  He is a man with many talents.  He's known by many as a former T.A.P.S. Ghost Hunter member of the original Ghost Hunters team (that's before all the popularity) and had a chance to exercise his Demonologist role while with them.  He and his brother, Keith Johnson, both were involved with the humble beginnings of the televised series of Ghost Hunters, in the first 2 seasons, on the Syfy Channel (then SciFi Channel). Soon after, Carl became independently involved as a Demonologist for the Animal Planet's, "The Haunted".  He participated in 5 episodes of that series where he comes in to offer his assistance in the cleansing of homes infested with demonic activity. Carl, in his abundance of talents, has had a fondness for theatrical literary performances of such classics from Edgar Allan Poe and horror fictional writer H.P. Lovecraft, as he is charismatic and has a flare of c...

EITHER GOD, SATAN, ANGELS, DEMONS, HEAVEN AND HELL EXIST OR THEY DO NOT!

I find it amazing when religious people or even spiritualists claim that 99.99% of all claims of demonic activity is unfounded and that the demonic is rare.  Ridiculous yet, so funny.  I saw so much evidence of the demonic as a child at so many different places to convince me that we are at the mercy of those who try to deceive us with LIES that I needed to get the facts on my own....and to get my own direction and discover the truth.    I find it ridiculous that this is what the spiritual world has been reduced to.  The spiritual realm not only includes the souls of all living things but also 1/3 of the heavenly hosts which fell from God's Grace.  Seeing as how God created a multitude of angels for HIS Praise one must not discount the great multitude of demons which transferred to Earth when 1/3 of the multitude had fallen cursed into the darkness realm of the Earth. The spiritual realm is made up of all of God's creatures whether they are Earth Bas...
