Growing up was very difficult for me, and the tension in my household resulted in a long-standing rift between my mother and me. After I finished college, I moved far away from my hometown and didn’t speak to my mother for several years.
Searching for a system of ideas that would guide me to be a truly principled person, I followed many religions and philosophies, and finally was led to Christian Science. What I learned at the first Christian Science church service I attended made such an impression on me that I joined the church and took Christian Science Primary class instruction in quick succession. It’s been almost 30 years since that first church service, and slowly but surely, I’ve begun to absorb the rules of this Science.
Through my study of Christian Science, I’ve learned many lessons and demonstrated many healings—the nicest of which has to do with my mother and me. She is quite elderly, and a short time ago she lost the support of someone who’d been helping her.
