1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,560 Hello folks, this is Princess. You are listening to the 2 00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:07,760 Millennial Mustard Seed podcast. Thanks for listening. 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,640 Don't forget to share with your friends. 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,000 That's tough. We're in a very tough spot. 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,840 I think that what we're doing right now is a great benefit and 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,360 virtue because it's an end around between this whole 7 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,560 corrupt informational system, media system. 8 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,080 We claim to believe in a God who spoke the universe into 9 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,280 existence and literally raised himself from the dead, and yet 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,360 we're not going to believe that anything else exists in the 11 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,200 spirit realm, even though His word tells us that they do. 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,600 Their bodies weren't permitted to go to sleep like humans do, 13 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,760 and they weren't permitted to go to heaven, so they wander the 14 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,560 earth. You know, I've seen the eyes 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,880 turn black to unknown tongues being spoken. 16 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,760 These giants would love way up in the island, the young Braves. 17 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,800 The young men would hide up in the trees and wait for one of 18 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,920 these 12 footers to come walking down the path and they would 19 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,120 jump on them and kill them, drag them back to the village and the 20 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,760 village would feast on the body freedom. 21 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,480 Then people start to get weapons, they start to get 22 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,560 armor, they start to build cities, they start to fortify 23 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,360 their cities. Now God looks down and there's 24 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,320 violence everywhere. The battle, this war that we are 25 00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:29,320 at, is not against each other. It's against these 26 00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:31,880 principalities and these rulers and these archons in the high 27 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,360 places. It's really worthwhile to read 28 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,760 the Bible yourself. Fear is one of the primary 29 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,120 drivers of mind control because we have to take every thought 30 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:49,000 captive and resist fear. You're going to have a testimony 31 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,480 that is a justice case against the Kingdom of darkness. 32 00:02:15,970 --> 00:02:18,250 Welcome back to the millennial Mustard Seed. 33 00:02:18,490 --> 00:02:21,050 I'm your host, Rod. Thanks for being here. 34 00:02:21,090 --> 00:02:25,250 For another cool episode, I'm joined by Marie Becher. 35 00:02:25,490 --> 00:02:30,800 She is the host of two podcasts, Hospice Explained and Hospice 36 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,240 Encounters Piercing the Veil, both really cool podcasts. 37 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,600 Marie has been working in hospitals for 35 plus years, 38 00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:43,480 specifically with Hospice patients. 39 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,760 She jumps into some personal and fascinating stories that she has 40 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,600 experienced over her time. And this episode is not 41 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,040 exclusive to the Hospice conversation. 42 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,360 She shares a time a few different times where some 43 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,600 supernatural things happened in the course of her life. 44 00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:07,680 This is really a cool episode. I'm a big fan of what she does 45 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,160 on both of her podcasts, bringing recognition to Hospice 46 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,000 end of life process. You know, just being an advocate 47 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,160 for people that work in the medical field that are in that 48 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,840 environment. That's what they do for a 49 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,920 living. And then also the people who 50 00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:26,520 don't know anything about Hospice and then find themselves 51 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,440 at the end of life going, hey, I'm choosing Hospice, what do I 52 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,480 expect? So it's a place where you can 53 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,320 share experiences and also people in those professional 54 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,760 settings can listen to other people's stories. 55 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,040 We get into so much more than just Hospice. 56 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,680 On this episode, which I loved about this conversation, she 57 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,600 shares a few gems throughout the course of her life of wild stuff 58 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,440 that happened to her one story in particular when she was a 59 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,440 teenager. I'm not going to get into the 60 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,560 details. You got to stick around for the 61 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,040 rest of the episode to hear that, and it's definitely going 62 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,600 to be worth your while.

You interviewed me, I want to 123 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,240 say a few months back, right? Was it like the end of last 124 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,920 year? I could tell you what episode I 125 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,160 wrote it down one SEC here. Well, I did write it down. 126 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:50,160 Now my chicken scratched it. Hang on a second, I want number. 127 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,280 I'm pretty sure you're #20 let me, I might not have wrote it on 128 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:54,680 my. Mail. 129 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,240 Yeah, it was it was October 29th of last year, episode 20 for 130 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,120 you. We had a great conversation. 131 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,720 You know, it felt good to get certain things off my chest. 132 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,240 I know I've talked about my near death encounter. 133 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,920 It's not fancy Wu and wah, you know, but it was really cool to 134 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,040 have this place where you were just genuine. 135 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,440 You cared about what I was saying. 136 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,200 You gave me a space to share this encounter that in my early 137 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,960 years really wrestled with what how to make sense of it, dealing 138 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,960 with, you know, all the things that came along with that 139 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,640 experience. So I just want to recognize you 140 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,200 for what you're doing on both of your podcasts to really create a 141 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,400 space where there's no gatekeeping. 142 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,000 It's just people can come and get things off the chest, share 143 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000 what they're going through. So why don't you tell us, Just 144 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,360 start off real quick. Tell us a little bit about you 145 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,440 have two different podcasts. Tell us the names and kind of 146 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,200 what happens on each one 'cause I know my audience may kind of 147 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,560 favor one of your podcasts more than the other, generally 148 00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:53,360 speaking. No, absolutely. 149 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,320 And I think that's realistic. So I'm a registered nurse and 150 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,560 I've been a nurse for so I've been a registered nurse for 36 151 00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:03,520 years. I worked primarily in the 152 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:09,480 hospital for 30 of them in multiple different roles. 153 00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:16,640 And I ended up finding myself in Hospice and loved it, loved it, 154 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,840 loved it. I found an overwhelming need for 155 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,680 education. The a lot of people don't end up 156 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,280 choosing Hospice until it's really close to the end and then 157 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,560 they need a lot of education real fast. 158 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,680 And I ended up going part time with Hospice and then I have 159 00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:38,640 separated. I don't work Hospice. 160 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,040 I'm still a registered nurse. But I actually stopped working 161 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,680 Hospice because I found that I emotionally just really got too 162 00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:50,080 invested and I felt like it's, it's just was a better place for 163 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,480 me to be a podcaster for it. And So what I do is I've been 164 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,160 educating people on Hospice. It's literally called Hospice 165 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,800 explained. And I feel like it's a safe 166 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,200 place for spiritually because there's just a lot of people. 167 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,640 My heart is to bring the education no matter what 168 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,400 somebody believes. And so I just bring it in like 169 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,880 I, I literally call it that safe place. 170 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,160 So no matter what people believe, they can just listen 171 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,800 and not feel like I'm going to be pounding a hammer on judgment 172 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,400 or, or, you know, any religious beliefs. 173 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,960 And just so people, your audience knows that they don't 174 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:36,280 have to be a believer in Jesus or any religion to be on a 175 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,800 Hospice service. For the most part, Medicaid, 176 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,800 Medicare and insurance is all covered. 177 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,120 And so Hospice is a benefit. It's your benefit. 178 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,040 You've paid into this system. You deserve to get something out 179 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,800 of it. And So what you get is a nurse, 180 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,760 you get a social worker, you get a chaplain, you get a ACNA that 181 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,720 usually does bath care or you know, shower care, whatever 182 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,280 somebody needs. And and you get a physician. 183 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,440 They physicians don't tend to come to the home. 184 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,040 And so you have a service, you have a team, you have a full 185 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,720 team of people helping somebody in that end of life season. 186 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,080 And so I've just taken it on to explain it. 187 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:24,120 And I was a podcasting for about a year and I read this book and, 188 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,480 and I got to I've got to read the title. 189 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,440 So I read this book called Imagine heaven, near death 190 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:35,480 Experiences God's Promise and and the Exhilarating future that 191 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,400 awaits you by John Burke and jury. 192 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,000 I hadn't even read the whole book. 193 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,080 I had read the first half of the book and it says you have to 194 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,480 tell your story. And I kind of paused and I went, 195 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,360 Oh, I have a lot of stories and I and I just kept hearing that 196 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,520 you have to tell your story. You have to tell your story. 197 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,520 And I'm like, I'm already a working wife, mom, you know, 198 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,920 etcetera and podcaster. And now I'm thinking about my 199 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,520 second podcast. So I created Hospice Encounters 200 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,640 and we added Piercing the Veil because it really fits as you 201 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,000 listen to it. So Hospice Encounters, I like to 202 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,240 think of it as because I'm a Christian, I can just go there. 203 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,400 I don't go there on Hospice, explain, but I go there on 204 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,280 Hospice Encounters. I haven't done a lot of episodes 205 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,560 and I don't do them, you know, I try to do them with regularity, 206 00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:34,760 but it's it's hard with with Hospice explained where I trying 207 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,520 to reach that weekly level. So I have not reached that 208 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,400 sequential method with Hospice encounters. 209 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,400 And I'm just going to be honest, it's time related, but I started 210 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,280 Hospice encounters in like the first episode is just telling 211 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,640 the story. And if you'd like me, Rod, I can 212 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,760 pause. Because I just. 213 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,000 Don't want to ramble on without any questions. 214 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,720 I got to hear at least one or two of your stories out of that. 215 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,440 That's easy. You got a diversity of 216 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,600 different, you know, people coming on to testify, other 217 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,880 people in the medical field, other podcasters. 218 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,760 But I want you to tell me what is some of the most profound 219 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,960 things that does not have to be an interview you've done, but 220 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,560 just throughout your time in Hospice over all these years. 221 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,280 Give us like a gem story. All right, that's an easy one. 222 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,800 Well, my first one, I'll actually, I got multiple, but 223 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,640 I'll give you my first one. This is the easiest. 224 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,200 My mom and my dad taught me who I am, you know, and my belief 225 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,800 system and they did a great job. I said yes to Jesus in Sunday 226 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,320 school before I turned 3. I'll never forget my mom goes. 227 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,840 Do you want to go to Sunday? School and I said yes, you know, 228 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,080 obviously you have to be not going to joke about it, but you 229 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,320 have to be potty trained, you know, so I was potty trained and 230 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,640 she's like, do you want to go to Sunday school? 231 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,120 And I'm like, I knew the rules. You were supposed to be 3. 232 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,960 But, you know, of course, it's a small little Lutheran Church. 233 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,560 And I got in and I'm pretty sure I said yes, the very first 234 00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:01,840 Sunday. I remember couple of the ladies, 235 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,560 one of them still alive, actually. 236 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,600 And they, they were singing songs. 237 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,720 They said, OK, we're going to pray. 238 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,520 And I, you know, close your eyes and we're going to pray. 239 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:11,760 And do you want Jesus in your heart? 240 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,480 I remember looking around. I was thinking about this today. 241 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,040 I thought he's going to ask me something. 242 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,400 And I poked my, you know, looked my eyes around and. 243 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,040 I raised my hand. I don't remember if anybody else 244 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,760 did, but I even I remember looking at one of the teachers 245 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,400 said she was like pointing at me and pointing to the other 246 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,320 teachers like I think they wrote down. 247 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,880 You know who said yes because of course they all knew us. 248 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,600 So this is who I am and how I was raised. 249 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,680 I was raised from an early time to know the Lord. 250 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,200 And so my mom is AI don't want to call her a St. but she is a 251 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,840 St. because she's she's passed on. 252 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,840 I thought there was going to be some bells and whistles when she 253 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,440 died. I was wrong. 254 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,920 The only thing I can tell you that happened is the day before 255 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,640 mom died, I was a young, young nurse. 256 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,680 My sisters are nurses and my brothers are not. 257 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,240 And my dad's not in the medical field. 258 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,880 So we're just wondering. She was dying of heart and lung 259 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,360 problems and we weren't sure exactly when she was going to 260 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:12,800 die. She had been dying for a long 261 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,080 time. And I mean, 3 1/2 years of this 262 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,440 slow rumble. And so we had called her sister 263 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,440 the night before she died and she said, you know what tomorrow 264 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,440 is? And we said, no, she goes, 265 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,720 tomorrow is 40 years to the day that Big Mama died, which is my 266 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,080 mom's grandma or excuse me, my mom's mom. 267 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,840 So we knew mom was dying the next day. 268 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,960 And I was there and I was like, I don't know if I thought angels 269 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,960 were going to come pick her up or, you know, I don't know. 270 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,680 I'd been with patients dying, but I just thought something 271 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,440 special was going to happen. And I think the special piece 272 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,800 that I have to look back on was that I found out, you know, I'd 273 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,280 been worrying when she would die. 274 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,880 And I found out the day before, you know, this is it. 275 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,640 You know, she doesn't have much longer. 276 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,520 And it was peaceful. So I'm going to Fast forward 10 277 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,600 years. My dad died 10 years later, and 278 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,000 he died at my home. We put him in my bonus room 279 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,680 like, you know, an extra bedroom and had a hospital bed brought 280 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,000 in and did the whole Hospice thing. 281 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,560 And to the night we gathered, 'cause we just kind of knew then 282 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,080 I had been a much more experienced nurse and I knew, 283 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,920 OK, we're get, we're getting there. 284 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,440 Dad, just laying there looking at the ceiling. 285 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,680 There's ten of us minimum in the room, maybe more 'cause we were 286 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,240 visiting 'cause we knew this was our, our last visit. 287 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,920 He goes, wow. I said, what, what do you, what, 288 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,720 what do you, what's up, dad? And he goes. 289 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:41,280 I see the sky, and I see the great beyond, and it's 290 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,360 beautiful. I still get choked up. 291 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,320 I said to my son, turn off the lights, 'cause I was like, I 292 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,520 don't want anybody to go. Oh, he sees lights on the 293 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,760 ceiling and he goes, oh, I see the great beyond. 294 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,240 And he just kept saying it with that emphasis. 295 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,480 It's beautiful. And he went to sleep that night 296 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,200 and died about 30-6 hours later. You know, went into what I call 297 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,560 a semi comatose state, really peaceful. 298 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:15,319 And he passed peacefully. But peaceful as to me, I got to 299 00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:19,599 know, you know, the maker of the universe shared something about 300 00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:24,400 his universe with our family. I'm gonna pause. 301 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:30,000 Wow. The verse that was coming softly 302 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,200 into my remembrance as I'm listening is God will give you 303 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,040 an expected end. We all have to face death at 304 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,040 some point and when it's someone that we love and we are a 305 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,560 witness to the this end chapter and and the gem that gets 306 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,760 dropped, you know, your dad is telling you, Hey, I I'm seeing 307 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,520 the great and beautiful beyond. I think that that's comforting 308 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,440 for a lot of people that may be on the fence or just have never 309 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,040 really thought about it. Or maybe, well, I know there's 310 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,680 other people out there like me who kind of had some weird wake 311 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,120 up calls and then they're wrestling what's really going to 312 00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:08,000 happen when I die. So that brings comfort. 313 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,360 That's a part of the testimony you have. 314 00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:14,000 And I just want to I honor you and just applaud you for sharing 315 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,560 that. And I know it's emotional. 316 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,160 It was, it was wonderful. And it was I just, you know, 317 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,800 it's really interesting. And I feel like I got through my 318 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,200 dad's death so much differently than my mom's. 319 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:33,280 And some of that's maturity, some of that's experience, but. 320 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,760 It I just brought me so much peace and I think it's changed 321 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:43,240 how I look at death and life And just, you know, it's probably 322 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,720 why I've shared on Hospice encounters Pearson that veil a 323 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,880 few of the near death experiences because I feel like 324 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,880 I just I just want to encourage people that there is more out 325 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,520 there that this is not a finite, this is not it. 326 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,880 This is not all there is. Yeah, I couldn't agree more. 327 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,280 I do have. My story of you've probably 328 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,120 heard it, but the the one where I had the Hospice patients. 329 00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:10,560 So if you want me to tell that one, we. 330 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,160 Can Oh no, I do yeah, as many as you want. 331 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,400 And then if you want to tell us another story or two and then 332 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,720 I'll drop a couple more questions. 333 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,680 I'm actually excited to hear this one because I think I know 334 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,000 briefly what it. Is so I'm going to tell a few 335 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,440 I'll tell you a few more stories I I'm not going to deny that you 336 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,760 may be disappointed if you listen to all my podcasts 337 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,880 because. I have most of those. 338 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,840 Stories are in the beginning few episodes are mine, but I, I love 339 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:42,040 the simple one. My son's dog Ranger, he was 10 340 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,320 and he had a really aggressive cancer and my son decided to 341 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,960 come to my house and he hired somebody There's, there's folks 342 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,600 that will go to your house to, you know, help you when your dog 343 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,400 needs to go for the end of life. So they had it in two, two 344 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,160 sections. My son, my husband left the 345 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,440 house and took. Two of our dogs out of the house 346 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,160 just so they weren't there. So my son was sitting on one 347 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,240 couch and I was sitting on another. 348 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,440 My my youngest daughter was there with him. 349 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,600 So she was sitting on the couch with my son and I was alone on 350 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,680 the other couch. And the person that was helping 351 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,040 Ranger was actually standing behind at this moment. 352 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,720 So Ranger had had his first injection. 353 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,440 And I think there was two injections. 354 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,000 She gave him one to relax him and was just letting that kick 355 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,240 in. So he's relaxed and he, he just 356 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,920 kind of, I remember watching this dog and he just, you know, 357 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,840 he's a big lab. He's a £85 lab. 358 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:46,720 He wasn't a small dog. So you can see his eyes and I'm 359 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,120 just watching because that's what, you know, I'm assessing, 360 00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:51,120 watching, thinking what's happening. 361 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,520 And that dog, you could just see he kind of lifted his head off 362 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,920 my son's lap and shook his head a little bit. 363 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,920 And he looked across the room and he looked towards the 364 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,080 towards the left and you can see his eyes. 365 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,880 He changed focus, looked in the middle. 366 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,840 He changed focus, looked again. So he literally had looked at 367 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,800 what I consider maybe three people, 3 angels. 368 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,400 Then he looked at me. Then he looked at one more 369 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,720 person on the couch. And I don't remember if there 370 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,320 was one more beyond that. I remember trying to think about 371 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,840 that. So he may have looked at 5:00, 372 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,080 but it was kind of like, I'm pretty sure one of those was 373 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,840 there for him. I'm sorry, that one's really 374 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,880 bothers me too. I really think the animals go 375 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:47,160 somewhere, Rod, I really do. Oh my gosh, I just got 376 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,320 triggered. Had no idea this would happen. 377 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,920 But the child, you know, not child, I wasn't a child, but the 378 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,760 dog that I had, Mackenzie, she was a dog I loved. 379 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,320 She was at my mom's house. She passed when she was 15. 380 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,880 And this is a few years back. So this dog came into my life 381 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,680 when I was about 15 years old, right? 382 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,800 And same thing happened. She couldn't go up and down the 383 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,080 steps anymore. Like we knew it was coming. 384 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,320 So I went over, you know, my mom had quote, UN quote the people 385 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,680 who come to assist to take your dog into the afterlife, right? 386 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:28,680 And I'll never forget when these people came, she looked at them, 387 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:36,040 at me, back at them and growled at them and just laid her head 388 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,080 down and looked at me with the most patient and loving look and 389 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,520 let the rest of the process go. And that kind of, you know, I 390 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,120 haven't really went there in a while. 391 00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:47,880 So, so weird when you were telling that story, I was so 392 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,120 triggered. I like, I literally frog in the 393 00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:51,920 throat. I'm like, Oh my gosh, I just 394 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,040 went back because I put that on the back burner. 395 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,080 But I felt some type of way about that when that happened, 396 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,760 when Mackenzie said, I'm sorry, it you triggered me. 397 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,640 I had to, I had to get that off my chest. 398 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,440 So I didn't go to sleep on what being like, man, I should have 399 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,960 just got that one out into the ether. 400 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,200 But there's something going on there. 401 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:15,400 I don't know. I mean, you know, Pet Sematary 402 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,640 is a movie from when I was growing up and super creepy and 403 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,440 there was these seated ideas in the millennial generation's mind 404 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,520 about the creepy end of it. But I don't think that's the 405 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:31,640 truth. I, I think that God is way more 406 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,360 complicated and beautiful then any of us could really wrestle 407 00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:39,600 with the reality of that. And I don't think that there's a 408 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,480 bond that we take place with an animal that's just like, like 409 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,360 God is up there going, Oh, I've made a billion dogs. 410 00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:47,800 That one doesn't matter. I don't believe the God that I 411 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,200 worship and serve of all creation thinks like that. 412 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,480 I think everything has a purpose and a value and, and everything 413 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,840 is a test. And when we do it right, there's 414 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,400 rewards. We have friends waiting for us 415 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,840 on the other side. Furry friends, if I could say it 416 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,480 that way. I my, my daughter actually on 417 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,840 Hospice encounters in I can't remember what episode and 418 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,480 probably episode 3. No, maybe not that early, but 419 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,000 anyway, she, she witnessed it. She witnessed she was sitting 420 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,600 next to my son and she gets on the episode and says I saw it 421 00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:23,920 'cause I remember going, am I just me? 422 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,560 I don't know that my son saw it. He was just focused on the dog, 423 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,560 but Haley watched, she said, Oh yeah, there's an absolute. 424 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,920 He was looking at something and it wasn't us in the room. 425 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,400 So I could I'll just keep going with my Angel stories here for 426 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,880 here's a simple one. Here's here's just a this flat 427 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,840 out fact that I worked night shift. 428 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,520 I'm a registered nurse and I work night shift and I do 12 429 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,240 hour nights and they're hard sometimes to come home and go to 430 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,160 sleep, you know, So, so I'd come home and take a bath, you know, 431 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,280 and I have this kind of a triangle shaped it's, I don't 432 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,120 want to call it a triangle, but it's a, it's an odd, it's an odd 433 00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:07,240 shaped tub that fits into the bathroom. 434 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,040 And nobody was home. Everybody went to school and 435 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,680 work. So I'm home alone and I was just 436 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,000 sitting in the tub and it's a bigger oversized tub and the 437 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,360 water's filling, you know, and my mind is just, you know, 438 00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:22,760 starting to let go of all the nights busyness. 439 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:28,360 And I started falling forward. Now I know it, I wouldn't have 440 00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:33,040 probably fell over in the tub, but I might have because it was 441 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,840 such an odd shape. I think I was going to hit my 442 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:39,160 head on the, you know, the spout, if I can remember right. 443 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,640 And a hand stopped me. So my eyes were shut as I was 444 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,920 falling forward. But I know you know what a hand 445 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,360 feels like. You know what something feels 446 00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:50,800 like when it stops you. And it wasn't the tub. 447 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,920 And I opened her eyes because I woke right up. 448 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,480 You know how you just immediately wake up and you're 449 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,040 like, yeah, nobody's here? Yeah. 450 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,920 OK, Thank you, God. Thank you, Angel. 451 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,120 You know, I appreciate the help. Obviously, I needed it that day. 452 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:14,800 I know I have a guardian Angel and I will go ahead and I'll 453 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:22,120 tell you how I know it. So I told you my literal come to 454 00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:24,640 Jesus, you know, I so I don't want to say it like that. 455 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,120 I told you in the beginning that I said yes to Jesus. 456 00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:34,240 So I am a Christian and I did my best, you know, I always prayed, 457 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,880 I always, you know what I mean? But you know there's always 458 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,800 teenager moments, right? We teenagers can be make silly 459 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,480 choices fast some of us we all have these moments, right? 460 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,640 So I was leaving a friend's house and I'm. 461 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,720 Thinking it had to be close to midnight, I used to be have to 462 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,720 be home by midnight. So I know it was close to 463 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,360 midnight. I they were they were only like 464 00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:01,800 15 minutes away. I lived at the time near Seattle 465 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:07,080 Tacoma International Airport. So I was driving from from South 466 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:12,280 of the airport to just north of the airport where I lived. 467 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,720 And somebody, you know how you just, it's, it's late. 468 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,320 There's nobody on the road. I mean, we're talking 45 years 469 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,280 ago, whatever it was 40 years ago. 470 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,240 There's nobody on the road because it's just, it was a not 471 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,440 rural, but it just wasn't as populated, right. 472 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,960 So somebody's tailgating me so tight. 473 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,800 They're just inches from my, my bumper and you, they were so 474 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,720 close. I almost didn't see them because 475 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,840 they were literally so close. You know how you look backwards 476 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,320 and you see lights? Well, there were no lights 477 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,360 because they were hidden behind the car. 478 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:53,160 So I'm in my mom's little Ford Fairmont, and this person passes 479 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,120 me on the corner. So a corner of going around the 480 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,520 on the freeway. And I pointed them to heaven 481 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:06,480 with my middle finger. Yeah, I'm going to own that. 482 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,960 I I it's not something I normally did either. 483 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:14,880 So it was kind of like, you know, you know, just not not it 484 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,800 was not nice. And I regretted it because it 485 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,800 enraged them, but I regretted it anyway because it wasn't the 486 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,960 nice thing to do. And this person started like 487 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,400 harassing me on the freeway, you know, and I didn't even, you 488 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,000 know, road rage wasn't even a thing. 489 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:32,200 So I'm I'm probably 17 or 18. I don't remember being 18, but I 490 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:38,400 might have been already 18. And so I like thinking I'm going 491 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,880 to pull off to the side of the freeway, you know, take an exit 492 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,240 when they're in the fast lane and they're going to go past. 493 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,800 And no, they just drove up the hill in the gravel and chased me 494 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,040 down. And then and of course, there's 495 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,600 a light at the top and it was like stop or go, you know, And 496 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,880 it was kind of like, so I stopped at the light a lot. 497 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,200 My doors were locked. And I'm like, Lord, forgive me. 498 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,600 I know. I prayed that with 100%. 499 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,040 I said, you know, Lord forgive me. 500 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,200 I, you know, literally do not know what I do. 501 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,480 Just please protect me. I don't know, you know, you 502 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,440 know, people are. Like, oh, I, I would have drove. 503 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,960 Around I had a six cylinder Ford Fairmont. 504 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,960 I knew the power of this vehicle was not, you know, I wasn't 505 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,720 going to be a match for a man that had a you know, could 506 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,160 probably take his car like a race car, you know, and it 507 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,320 wasn't a race car. I don't mean that it was, but 508 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,600 you know what I mean. This is an adult man that could 509 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,680 probably dry out drive me no matter what. 510 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,760 So he came, he parked behind me and he came up to my car and he 511 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,600 just started losing it on me. Of course, he tried to get in 512 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,640 the car and he couldn't. I think he was gonna. 513 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,240 I don't. I don't doubt that he would have 514 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,280 done something very not good to me. 515 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:52,520 But he stopped just mid screaming stopped. 516 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,960 And his eyes glazed over and he's looking at my passenger 517 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,640 seat Rod. There's nobody in the passenger 518 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,080 seat. This is an empty car. 519 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,720 I am alone and he is staring at it. 520 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,800 And this is enough so that I have looked back and forth 10 521 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,240 times. I'm like, OK, well, you know, my 522 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,360 mom always talked about angels. So I'm like, maybe, maybe 523 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,480 there's an Angel here. You know, there's no indent in 524 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,080 the seat. There's. 525 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,680 Nothing, you know. There's nothing to see. 526 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:25,760 I had nothing to literal see. And this this man just all of a 527 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,800 sudden straightened up, stood up, backed away from the car and 528 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,160 he yelled at me. And he says, don't flip people 529 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,800 off and starts marching back to his car. 530 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,160 And I found, you know, there's sometimes obviously you still 531 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,840 say things that you don't need to, but I felt this power to 532 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,760 say, well, then don't tailgate people, you know? 533 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,280 And he came back to start screaming at me again. 534 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,480 And he looked at my passenger and just turned around and 535 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,320 walked and walked and drove away. 536 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,520 I know, I know that's a that's a story. 537 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,600 I just have to pause because I could just keep talking and 538 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,520 talking. When his eyes glazed over, was 539 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,040 it like in shock or did he literally have like something 540 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,360 physical that was happening to him? 541 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,160 That's a good question. It's crazy. 542 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,560 I thought about that today. So it's not like the movies 543 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,600 where you, you know, they go white or they go black or, you 544 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,440 know, anything crazy. You could just tell what you. 545 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,520 So if you were to look at somebody, just like I could see 546 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,720 the dog's focus, you can see when somebody's focused on 547 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,440 something besides you if you're in a conversation with them. 548 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,320 And he's, you know, inches from my face. 549 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,640 The only thing separating this was the car door and the window. 550 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,720 And so I could see his face, 'cause he's leaned over. 551 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:43,160 He wasn't a tall guy. I could see his face, very. 552 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,440 Clearly. And I could see 'cause his jaw 553 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,760 relaxed, his mouth opened. Like, you know how you just kind 554 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,160 of when you're really listening intently, you might talk your 555 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,520 head to the side. And so all these little cues and 556 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,560 you're like in back of your head, you're like, he is 557 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,640 definitely talking to somebody. Somebody's giving him a talking 558 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,760 to. And so as part of it as like I 559 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,520 just shut up, but I'm like, I'll let let them give him a talking 560 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,040 to. Who's? 561 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,640 Them you know who's. Fascinating. 562 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,920 The Angel, you know, you just know that he's getting, you just 563 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,800 know it. So, so I have more to say about 564 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:24,160 him. He I, this is really hard to say 565 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,360 and this is something I've had to struggle and wrap my head 566 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:31,280 around. This happened in the years that 567 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,800 Gary Ridgway, who was a serial killer, was in my area. 568 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,200 I know people that worked with him. 569 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,240 He lived in my area and he was killing people in the Seattle 570 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,280 Tacoma. He was killing prostitutes. 571 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:50,040 So he he had blood lust in his eyes when I mean this person was 572 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,880 going to hurt me. But but I don't know what you 573 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,720 want to add to this or take away Rod. 574 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,120 I don't know how you want to. I'm not going to say it was him. 575 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,560 I'm not saying that because I can't. 576 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,360 I can't say that for sure. I just have a I've had a gut 577 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,440 feeling for a long time that that's who it was. 578 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,840 You know, I talk about this kind of stuff and I can't prove it, 579 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:18,040 but I believe that there are foul spirits that are of common 580 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,040 bond, right? So the same spirit that can be 581 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,160 on somebody like a spirit of murder or lust. 582 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,000 It's I believe those spirits are in cahoots together. 583 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,160 It doesn't mean it's like that spirit left somebody else to 584 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,080 come into that person because these both of these people share 585 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,120 lust. I don't, I don't think it's like 586 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,920 that in the spirit world. I just think that they have 587 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:44,120 their own interface system where just like we're able to birds of 588 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,200 a feather flock together, right? You hang out with good people. 589 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,760 The Bible says hang with the wise, become wiser, right? 590 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,920 It says hang with fools and it it can crumble your moral 591 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,960 compass. So I think in the spirit world 592 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,640 it parallels that. So when you say you seen, you 593 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,800 know that something about this guy. 594 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,280 There was kind of like an essence there if your gut was 595 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:09,400 registering, like, yo, that is a common threatening spirit that 596 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,320 has been identified. I think that's a fascinating 597 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,840 point to bring up, Marie. And and I think it's important 598 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,080 enough to just even spend that little extra time like we did on 599 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,760 it because other people out there are going to be like, 600 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,000 yeah, you know what? You ever just meet somebody and 601 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,920 you get a feeling that resonates with other people that were off 602 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,000 that you met throughout your life, you get the same kind of 603 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,080 weird, something's off. I think it's spirits that are 604 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,560 foul rolled together. They. 605 00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:38,480 Do they do? I mean, I just know no matter 606 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,840 what this person, they just don't. 607 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,840 You just don't go charging up to a young teenager without I'll 608 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,760 intent that we know, irregardless of whether it 609 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,199 really was or really wasn't. He had I'll intent no matter who 610 00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:54,120 he was. And he got a good talking to. 611 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,080 I always laugh. I'm saying that I don't know if 612 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,560 he got a good talking to. I I mean, who knows what was 613 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,360 going on spiritually? Who knows what was happening? 614 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,840 Well, it's clear his reaction, there was some type of 615 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:10,040 engagement happening, and the imagination can only run wild to 616 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,120 try to understand. So that that's a very, really 617 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,360 powerful story when it comes to working in the building, the 618 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,480 years you spent doing Hospice. I'm not asking for a creepy 619 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,640 story, OK, Because I don't like to focus on the the depth of the 620 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,240 darkness. I just want to hear two 621 00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:29,320 different stories side by side. Like this was kind of creepy and 622 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,400 dark and this one was beautiful. Do you? 623 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,040 Can you do that for us here? Well, I could start with the 624 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,280 let's see here. So for me, for Hospice, what I 625 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,640 have to clarify is that I was an admission nurse. 626 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,920 I did not tend to see them die as much. 627 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,520 I, I got, I was really good because I worked so many years 628 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,120 in the hospital and in that emergent fashion where, you 629 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,160 know, I go in and figure out what's wrong and, you know, fix 630 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,480 things. I found that it was, it wasn't 631 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,680 like Hospice emergency room, 'cause they're not emergent 632 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,320 services, they are definitely not. 633 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,240 But I would go in and try and fix those things that were 634 00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:12,120 broken, fix them so they could get peaceful and die. 635 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,360 So I didn't spend as many times with dying patients. 636 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:21,320 But I can tell you, I can tell you a few stories, not about 637 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,480 that, but I will be straight up that in the old buildings at 638 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:30,040 some of the, some one of the facilities I worked at that the 639 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,800 elevators in the middle of the night would open and close and 640 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,440 do some funny things. The monitors will go off and on 641 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,280 when they're not supposed to. There are lots of things 642 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,720 happening in there, bumps in the night and then you're just not 643 00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:49,000 very comfortable with. So for Hospice, I have my, my 644 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,440 big story. So this was an actual Hospice 645 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,480 visit. I was going to do an admission 646 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,160 and they said, hey, Marie, can you go see this patient in the 647 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,440 hospital? So if we were seeing a patient 648 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,440 in the hospital instead of the home, what's happening is they 649 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,960 were dying and we didn't get a chance to get him home or 650 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,160 something to that effect. So I remember this person, she 651 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,800 was at a minimum early 80s minimum, maybe mid. 652 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:21,320 I saw her on a, let's just say I saw her on a Saturday because of 653 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,320 what happens is I would do those during the week or otherwise 654 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:25,560 somebody else might have done it. 655 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:30,240 So I saw her on a Saturday and I met her family and you know, we 656 00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:34,600 just had a great conversation and it's like, you know, tell me 657 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,600 about your sister, 'cause she was already in the patient was 658 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,400 already in a comatose state on Saturday, so you couldn't get 659 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,840 her to rise and say or anything. There was no reactions. 660 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,560 They were just keeping her comfortable in the hospital. 661 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,680 And her sister was really kind of like, I'm kind of surprised 662 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,840 she hasn't died yet. And I said, why is that? 663 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,520 And she's, you know, I said, does she have her spiritual, 664 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,760 she's physically comfortable? How's her spiritual life? 665 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,640 Is she spiritually at peace? And she goes, yeah, she's a 666 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,240 Christian. She's she should be just fine. 667 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,680 I said, OK, you know, and I probably offered to pray with 668 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,280 the family. And I believe they said yes, 669 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,840 just for comfort and peace and not as a Christian in Hospice. 670 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,640 What I you offer something, you know, and if you're a Christian, 671 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,160 well, that's fair, 'cause that's what you are, right? 672 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,600 You're going to, you can pray with them, but it's only an 673 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,960 offer if they don't want it, they say no and it's no big 674 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:30,880 deal. You go on. 675 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,920 And that would happen every so often if I just felt LED, you 676 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,720 know, I'd be like, hey, do you want me to pray for you? 677 00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:38,640 And they'd be like, yes, yes, please. 678 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,360 So this Sunday, the next day, I go back and I visited this 679 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,960 patient first in the morning 'cause I had a couple admissions 680 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,640 to go do. And another thing I'm doing when 681 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,880 I'm going to the hospital is I want to make sure the nurses 682 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,680 know, hey, you can call me if you have questions. 683 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,200 You know, we can help you get this patient comfortable. 684 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:03,160 So it's all right. I go in the room, it's just 685 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,320 right after eight or right around 8:00 in the morning. 686 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,680 So it's, it's, I don't remember what time of the year, but it's, 687 00:39:08,720 --> 00:39:12,720 it's very, it's well lit, but the room lights are off. 688 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,320 It's a two-bedroom. The patient's by the window, the 689 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,400 window curtains, I believe, are partially open, not fully open. 690 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,920 And so I go in and, and, you know, I just start, I just 691 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,520 whisper, you know, hi. So and so I'm Marie, I'm here 692 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,280 to, you know, I'm just going to do a few vital signs and check 693 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,800 on you because see how you're doing, you know, are you in pain 694 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,520 or, you know, you just kind of talk to them like they're going 695 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,480 to answer you, but they may not. And I said, I'm just going to, 696 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,480 you know, put this little thing on your finger and I'm going to 697 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,160 check your oximeter and I'm going to check your temperature. 698 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,920 And I just kind of listened and you can kind of hear the 699 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,960 gurgling in the lungs. And, you know, I just touched 700 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,600 the scythoscope to the chest. And, you know, and I said, you 701 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,360 know, I'm kind of put my stuff away. 702 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,240 And I was like, maybe I, you know, I prayed yesterday with 703 00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:02,440 this family. I'll go ahead and pray with 704 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,840 them, pray with this patient, you know, So I just said a quiet 705 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,880 little prayer, you know, and it was more of just just praying 706 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,440 for her, this patient's peace and blessing and, you know, 707 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,000 peaceful passing because I. You know, as much as you want 708 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,120 to, I just can't, it couldn't sit there, right? 709 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,080 And her family wasn't there yet. And I don't know when they were 710 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,280 going to get there. But so Rod, I'm, I'm walking 711 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,800 away. I grab my bag and I go around to 712 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,320 the end of the bed and I'm walking towards the door and I 713 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,720 see something on the side of my my face and, and, and you have 714 00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:38,560 to just stop. And you just kind of like, OK, 715 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,480 I'm seeing something, you know, and you're just like, your 716 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,720 brain's starting to catch up. I am seeing something. 717 00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:47,160 I'm really seeing something. It actually took me several 718 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:48,880 years before I realized what I saw. 719 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:53,280 So a lake is horizontal, right? Flat, and you see ripples in the 720 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,600 water. This is vertical water, 721 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,480 basically. And I was watching the TV show 722 00:40:58,480 --> 00:40:59,960 Stargate and I was like. Oh my gosh. 723 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,000 That's what it was. I saw that lake literally 724 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,120 standing up next to me, so it wasn't like. 725 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,360 How's it this I? Struggled to describe this. 726 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:15,840 I so struggled to describe this. So, so, so it's it's ripples, 727 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,960 almost a misty look. And I look and I'm like, OK, so 728 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,600 I can see beyond the room, you know, can I see out the next 729 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:26,120 room? No. 730 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,560 Can I see into the next room? No. 731 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,960 But I'm like, you look down at the floor and you're like, 732 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,760 there's a wheelchair against the wall and there's, you know, odds 733 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:39,640 and ends because at the end of the bed to the wall, it's, it's, 734 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,840 I don't even want to say 5 feet, but, you know, there's five. 735 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,520 Feet at the end, but. I could see depth. 736 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,640 I so could I see people? Could I see figures? 737 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,960 Could I see angels? Could I see any spiritual thing 738 00:41:54,960 --> 00:42:00,280 other than the effects? No, I could only see this, this 739 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,600 water effect, almost like a mistiness. 740 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,800 And I went to the other bed and I stood there and I just stared 741 00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:13,080 at the patient and the And this water effect, I keep calling it 742 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,200 a water effect 'cause I don't want to call it a Stargate, 743 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,840 'cause I mean, but. It. 744 00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:19,720 Was a portal. It was a tunnel. 745 00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:22,520 I'm just describing, you know that. 746 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:26,400 And I just kept saying that same thing and I'm like, this is 747 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,480 really something, you know, and you're just like I, I laugh 748 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,840 nowadays and I'm thinking some people be like, I want to go in 749 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,080 it. Well, I technically did. 750 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,680 I walked through it. Nothing happened to me because I 751 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,320 walk through it because I walked at the end of the bed, But I 752 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:46,560 thought our words. I said this on another podcast 753 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,160 actually, I think I think our that prayer just helped open the 754 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,680 portal. It helped open it. 755 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:59,200 I think it really did. I what's a good way to I'm a 756 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,640 little stumped for words right now, but I don't want to say 757 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,320 that my prayer opened the portal. 758 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,840 I'm not going to say that it did, but it, maybe it helped it 759 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,000 maybe, maybe the timing was just right. 760 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,640 Maybe it was just the fact that I just happened to be there at 761 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,880 the right place and the right time and God just says, OK, 762 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,880 Marie, today's the day you get to see something special. 763 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,720 I think that's where the patient was going to get going on her 764 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,720 her journey. Yeah, that's such a great way to 765 00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:30,560 look at it. You know, with all of this 766 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,040 antidotical stuff, personal experiences, what we read in the 767 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:39,240 Bible, there has to be some humility because not one person 768 00:43:39,240 --> 00:43:41,760 has it all figured out. And just the way you depicted 769 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,400 that it's, it's genuine, it's sincere. 770 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,080 We don't want to use language like it was a Stargate just like 771 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,520 episode, you know, whatever from from this TV show or something. 772 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:52,640 Like we don't really want to do that. 773 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,240 But sometimes we don't have the vocabulary other than something 774 00:43:56,240 --> 00:44:00,160 like that, because a lot of stuff has been, you know, hush 775 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,600 hush or just not. It's campfire stories. 776 00:44:03,720 --> 00:44:07,920 And, and, and that's what I love about what you do, Marie, is 777 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,040 you're giving people a license to be like, you know what, 778 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,960 you're not alone. There's actually way more people 779 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,240 out there than we probably ever would have previously realized 780 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:21,360 until the day of technology came along to connect us all that 781 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:26,560 there's tons of stories and tons of experiences that do parallel 782 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,960 each other. And I say a lot of the times the 783 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,080 God we wish to worship, I don't say that disrespectfully to 784 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,880 anybody, but I say that as like the eye opener Marie that 785 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,120 there's no denominational preference with God. 786 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:43,440 He's he's omnipotent. He's omnipotent where I like I'm 787 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,720 when I'm talking about God, I'm talking about literally the 788 00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:50,440 creator, the light giver, the one who brings calamity, the one 789 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,080 who brings increase. All things are in his hand. 790 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:57,080 So when I hear stories like that, I'm like a little kid at 791 00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:58,520 the candy store. I'm like this. 792 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,120 We're getting closer to the heart of understanding our 793 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:06,680 experiences and this vast, you know, network of people that 794 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:11,080 kind of have been governed by the fear of can I talk about 795 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,600 what I've seen or experienced because of things like a 796 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,600 religious spirit or just fear mongering or just not feeling 797 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,480 like you can fit in. There's not not a better 798 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,640 compliment I can give you then to invite you on and literally 799 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,280 ask my audience to go check out what you're doing and to hear 800 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,320 your story, 'cause I believe in what you're doing and you 801 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,600 sharing those stories right now, almost every episode. 802 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,920 God has allowed us to interact with the ripple effect. 803 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,400 Marie, I'm still trying to understand how to explain this 804 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:46,320 to people, but this stuff happens where a story, 805 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,480 encouragement, the word, the eternal word that never returns 806 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:55,280 void, It goes out, right? So we send it forth and it stirs 807 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,360 something else and somebody else up. 808 00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,680 Then there's testimonies that come forth. 809 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,880 It's like a chain reaction. We don't see all of it. 810 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:07,400 Oh my gosh, I probably don't even see .001% of what God has 811 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,560 done through these little podcasts. 812 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:14,640 But when we do see something, we understand it's very important. 813 00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:20,480 Give us some closing statements on just like your testimony, any 814 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,680 loose ends that you'd like to tie and I'm just going to hand 815 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,360 the mic back to you. Thank you so much for your kind 816 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,000 words about my podcasts. I appreciate that. 817 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,440 I just used Campfire Stories couple episodes ago. 818 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,440 I think if you heard that campfire conversation, I think I 819 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,200 used or have I even used it yet? Oh my goodness. 820 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,880 I'm just looking at my I. Don't even that's funny. 821 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,520 You said campfire that I literally said it or I'm going 822 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:50,520 to say it. Conversations in Hospice explain 823 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,720 because it's what a fitting words is. 824 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,720 People need to be able to have hard conversations with people. 825 00:46:57,720 --> 00:47:01,800 And I want to just say, interestingly enough, I did not 826 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:08,400 tell anybody about that person that almost hurt me that talked 827 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:13,600 to my guardian Angel until I told like one person the next 828 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:14,760 day. And they're like. 829 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,840 Oh, I would have done. XYZ and I'm thinking you weren't 830 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:22,040 there and I just sealed it up, put that in the vault, didn't 831 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,120 tell anybody until right before I ended up sharing it on the 832 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,120 podcast. I told my nieces and they're 833 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,840 like, wow, this is a great story. 834 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,960 And so then my my other one, I didn't tell anybody for several 835 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,000 couple years. What do you say? 836 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,480 Like I didn't even have the words you, you called it. 837 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,480 I did not have the words to describe what I saw. 838 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,320 So, so to wrap up, where am I and what am I doing? 839 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,560 I am, I am going to keep on doing Hospice explained. 840 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,520 And if somebody that's listening wants to share their Hospice 841 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:59,160 story, I, I love kind of going over those Hospice stories. 842 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,640 If you're a medical professional and you want to encourage 843 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,480 somebody, you're welcome to be on Hospice explained. 844 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:10,600 Both of those, you know, they just kind of fit and I really do 845 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,320 keep it a safe place for, you know, belief systems. 846 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:19,120 So, you know, you don't have to be believing in a certain system 847 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,720 or sorry, not to believe in a certain system. 848 00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:26,000 You don't have to believe a certain way to be a guest on the 849 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,480 show by any means on either way on either that or Hospice 850 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,080 encounters, but Hospice encounters piercing the veil. 851 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:38,040 And I got that from fellow podcaster Brandon Spain on 852 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:42,360 unrefined podcast. He, he said, I said, Brandon, we 853 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:47,360 were doing a, a podcast group, you know, online and I said 854 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,320 Hospice encounters needs more. And he goes, how about piercing 855 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,480 the veil? And I thought, you know, that 856 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:57,000 really, that really picks that piece right in the right in the 857 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,560 middle. That's exactly what it is. 858 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:00,680 There's a veil that we can't see. 859 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,080 And I came down for me a few times, you know, in the 860 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,000 different moments, like when the Angel stopped me from hurting 861 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,880 myself in the bathtub, not hurting myself, but falling in 862 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:16,000 the bathtub or, you know, from protecting me as a teenager. 863 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,400 So there's a veil. And if you want to Share your 864 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,560 story, and Rod's been on Hospice encounters. 865 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,280 If you want to Share your story, I'd be happy to have you. 866 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:29,440 And I got to be honest, Rod, I think it's going towards near 867 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,080 death encounters. I don't know why it's not the 868 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:36,240 way I originally intended Hospice encounters to go, but 869 00:49:36,240 --> 00:49:40,560 that seems to be kind of the, the way it's starting to head. 870 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:45,520 So I think like you really felt, I, I think it gave you some 871 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,120 peace or it gave you, what did you use the word? 872 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,320 It gave you some closure. A place, yeah, like a place to 873 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,280 air it out. Like I I recited my experience 874 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,240 in my own mind. People in my personal life knew 875 00:49:57,240 --> 00:49:59,400 it. But once people started, you 876 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,040 know, requesting me to come on their podcast, I think I've been 877 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,840 on 1/2 a dozen shows to talk about my experience. 878 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,680 Every time it felt a little bit better, it aired it out. 879 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:13,840 Yeah, exactly. And so I, I think that might be 880 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:17,520 where it's heading. I'm not stressing over it 881 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,760 because podcasting. Nobody knows how much time it 882 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,400 takes except another podcaster probably, or somebody. 883 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,440 That used to podcast. I understand what you're going 884 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:30,400 through. Yeah, I know I I work and I, you 885 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:34,320 know, got lots going on.
