As for Tim, he may not actually be in Purgatory. In many Pagan beliefs, our version of Heaven could be here on Earth as a Ghost similar to a nature spirit.<br /><br />He's probably guarding the land now. Or like Pastor Swope said he just needs more time with his buddy.Jose Pradohttp://facebook.com/talismanoftheancientsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-26765481126793800882012-10-19T00:09:24.915-04:002012-10-19T00:09:24.915-04:00I think Blogger ate my last comment, but it looks ...I think Blogger ate my last comment, but it looks like you need to edit your numbers slightly. The boy you saw in 2006 looked like Tim did in 1974, which is actually 32 years earlier, not 20.<br /><br />Other than that, I'm not quite sure what to make of your story. I don't really have much confidence this was a ghost; the boy didn't seem to have a purpose to fulfill -- say, unfinished business or an appeal for prayers -- nor was this an afterimage of intense emotion. Regardless, this does not seem to be a purgatory; it more resembles Limbo: perfect natural happiness, but without the Beatific Vision.

I saw a young boy and a large dog walking down that far edge and disappear. I was taken aback a bit because for the life of me I swore it looked just like Tim and Dutch did 20 years ago." So, 20 years before 2006 was 1986, when Tim was 24; you mean how it looked more than 30 years before (though it is probably hard to believe so much time has passed).

Tim got Dutch for his 10th birthday, and Dutch died at age 14, so apparently when Tim was 24. Tim died a couple of years later, "almost 20 years ago." The ghost looks like Tim did 20 years ago -- when he was about 24? No, apparently when he was about 12.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04843514873861242426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914842448114558426.post-51270893455714463262012-09-28T08:47:42.979-04:002012-09-28T08:47:42.979-04:00Great story, Pastor Swope.Great story, Pastor Swope.Jeff Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07386092048101815743noreply@blogger.com
