Spirits

With all the blogs about Religion, God, Christian beliefs and so on, I thought I would take it one step further, and see where it leads to.
A few questions first before I start telling you all my experiences. First off, do you believe that once we die, that's it we are dead? Do you believe that when you die you go to another place, for example, Heaven or Hell? Do you believe in reincarnation? And finally, do you believe as I do, that when you die, your spirit is free to roam, until it's time to move on, (to the next life)?

I have over the years had dealings with spirits, and they have come and gone. Ever since my mother passed away a few years back, I have felt her presence around, more so when I was living alone. Now I wasn't told until after my mum had died, that she had told one of my friends, that she will be watching over me when she passes away, including my brothers, family members and friends. I knew she would do this anyway, as she was that type of person, she loved her family and cared for them very much. I like to look at my mum as like a Guardian Angel, always there when needed and to watch over me to keep me safe.
I remember one time, not long before mum passed away, I had to get something from mums bedroom, and as you do, you know all the familiar smells in your own home. Well this one time, in just one spot in her room, there was an unfamiliar scent of perfume. I told mum about it, and I agree with her, that it was her mum, watching over her.
To add a little more perspective to the story, my grandmother, use to go to a Baptist Church every Sunday, and this church was directly opposite her house, a beautiful old church it is. So her faith was in God. I have very little memory of my grandmother, but I know that she was a warm hearted person. The one thing I wish I had the ability, is to be able to hear their voices, instead of just feeling their presence. I suppose when the time comes, I will hear their voices loud and clear. I look forward to that day, (I hope not for a while yet).

One final question before I finalise this blog, If you truly believe in the word of God, or put it another way, believe in the words from the Bible, then how can spirits roam the Earth?
I welcome all comments.
