Inspiration to me [Gloria Preston, “ Watching for the right symptoms ,” Journal, December 2022] This article is an inspiration. I have been feeling unloving and trying so hard to change these negative feelings.

Brilliant piece Thank you for the brilliant piece “ Christian Science nursing—a ministry, a calling ” by Vanessa Campbell and Tony Lobl in the November 2022 Journal. It brought much light and a clearer understanding of Christian Science nursing and its very important role in Christian Science healing.

Refreshing to read [Ariana Herlinger, “ Rebuilding our concept of church ,” Journal, September 2022] What an absolutely inspiring and on-point article! This subject is very near and dear to me, and it was so refreshing that it was discussed in such a straightforward manner. The story of Nehemiah and the wall has always inspired me to remember to be clear as to the purpose of my work.

Important topic to address [Susan Booth Mack Snipes, “ Address mental malpractice? How? ” Journal, September 2022] Thank you for the way this article simply yet effectively addresses this subject, and for the description of the writer’s experience and subsequent revelation. I am applying the lessons she learned in my own life.

Important ideas [Leslie Revilock, “ Climate change and mental change ,” Journal, August 2022] This piece has such important ideas, which can be broadened to include pandemics, economics, conflicts, cultural degradation, and wars. It’s interesting how Mary Baker Eddy forearmed us for this era with her emphasis on handling weather events of her day.

Loved the July issue I am so grateful for the Christian Science periodicals. They are always timely and full of fresh inspiration.

Thankful for reminder [Susan Booth Mack Snipes, “ Progressively letting go ,” Journal, June 2022] A warm and grateful thanks to the author for reminding me that all good is from God alone. It is not located in person, place, or thing.

So many strong points Just wanted to give thanks for the wonderful interview in the March Journal, “ Where is God when bad things happen? ” with Scott Preller and Ethel Baker. It has so many strong points highlighting the effect of an understanding of the all-presence of an all-powerful God, even in the harshest of circumstances.

Opportunity for growth [Heike Arneth, “ Evil exposed and dissolved ,” Journal, March 2022] I needed this article! And I am so grateful to know that I do not need to hold on to long-held beliefs about myself or anyone else. Such a freeing, expanding, and exciting opportunity for spiritual growth.

Got me thinking [Ruth Geyer, “ The healing deep dive ,” Journal, February 2022] This article was written with such warmth and grace. Usually, I think of going up higher to seek God’s love and guidance when faced with an issue, so the thought of diving deeper really got me thinking.
