DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of several years, “Guy,” often asks me to take a trip with him. I have researched accommodations at the suggested destinations, only to have him say they are too pricey. Thus, we never go anywhere, although he could easily afford it.
Although there will always be the occasional opportunistic prankster, more and more Near Death Experiences (NDEs) are being reported by professionals, including doctors, lawyers, community leaders, and academic scholars—people who have extensive visibility and interaction within the public square. These individuals, it would seem, are much more dependent upon their credibility than others in the general population. Of such people, it can reasonably be said that they have much to lose and very little to gain by reporting a false NDE. Therefore, it is quite reasonable to believe that their testimony concerning what they experienced during a NDE is most likely reliable and trustworthy. In particular, NDEs by atheists in which they encounter what they interpret to be either Jesus or God, and lead to a life-changing conversion, are very powerful stories indeed. One such story comes from the “fierce atheist” John Wren-Lewis (1923-2006).
An unthinkable, most unbelievable, event occurred in Boston in 1919 right after First World War. I didn’t believe it after I read about it, but I found articles about it to be listed in The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Christian Monitor, Wikipedia, and CBS News websites. So I have some confidence that it really happened.
DEAR ABBY: My wife and I are approaching our 40th anniversary. Friends and family have already begun to mention the upcoming milestone. While I politely acknowledge the event, I hide my indifference. You see, my wife has always been a serial cheater. It’s a secret I have kept from everyone, especially our children.
