Visions of the Dead – Part 3
by Dusty May Taylor In Parts 1 and 2 of this series, I went over what the bible tells us about visits from the dead. We discovered that the lost are trapped in Hades after death, that familiar spirits may come to deceive or through mediums, and that communication from the dead is highly forbidden …
Visions of the Dead – Part 2
by Dusty May Taylor Last week we looked at a common question I receive, which is “Has my deceased loved one visited me in a dream/vision?” To summarize, we found that scripture states the deceased can’t reach the living and can’t return for unfinished business. However, we know they are frequently used symbols or representations …
Visions of the Dead – Part 1
by Dusty May Taylor Recently I was asked about the legitimacy of visits from deceased loved ones in dreams and visions (both what we see in our inner eye, and visions that appear real). I’ve got opinions, but I wanted to take the question seriously and really learn. So I went on a research journey! …
Can Epsteins Be Forgiven?
Yesterday I watched the 60 Minutes Australia exposé on the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking ring. To say I was disturbed is an understatement. He and his accomplices exploited the young and vulnerable, targeted girls with a history of trauma, and raped them. Thousands of them. That could have been me. The man is dead, and …
“Unplanned” — a Canadian’s off-the-cuff review
Since Ottawa might only get a one-week screening of “Unplanned,” the autobiographical story of former Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson, I figured I better show up.

Beauty and Blessing — March 3rd 2010
Today is an absurdly beautiful day. I got up early and the sun was shining. I walked outside and it smelled like melting snow, damp earth, and thawing grass–the smell of Spring! I can’t tell you what a relief it is to no longer have to fight and pray tooth and nail to keep my …
Singing in the Season — December 2009
(A review of White Christmas at Theatre Aquarius. Originally published by Mayday Magazine, December 2009.) Irving Berlin’s White Christmas is a fun, sweet-natured family musical that gets your feet tapping for the Holidays. Directed by Ron Ulrich, the new Artistic Director of Theatre Aquarius, the show is lively and engaging, and passes by in a …
HTI Rocks the Woods — December 2009
(Review of Into the Woods at Hamilton Theatre Incorporated. Originally published by Mayday Magazine, December 2009.) This month I took in two shows, and started with Hamilton Theatre Incorporated’s production of Into the Woods. To start with, how much do I love the Downtown Arts Centre? I am greeted by warm-hearted ladies with eyes that …
On Love and Eating — November 2009
(Originally published by Mayday Magazine, November 2009) After the month of October being largely devoted to selfishness and deceit (trick or treat!), it was a breath of fresh air for me to sit back and think about relationships. Almost everyone cherishes them, and longs for them. The kind of relationships that make you sit back …
