It is with great joy that I share my appreciation for Christian Science and the healing power of prayer. Last summer while living at my remote cabin on an island in the Bering Sea, off Alaska, I injured my eye when a bungee cord I was attaching to my all-terrain vehicle came off and hit my eye with full force.
On the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, my employees and I were in a hurry to submit a bid on a major contract before the close of business that day. In the process of rushing to finish in time, we overlooked one part of the bid.

Priceless lessons from the Scriptures, particularly the healing ministry of Christ Jesus, have become increasingly clear to me through the study of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.

Recently at a Wednesday night testimony meeting, the readings focused on the concepts of cornerstone, rock, and foundation of Church. This made me think about how Christian Science never leaves you.
