One night, several years ago, when I returned home, I could not find the matchbox to light my lamp. So I went to take my bath in the darkness.
This comment was originally posted on JSH-Online in response to a question published in the Journal : How could Jesus show physical effects of the crucifixion to Thomas? ( January 2013 , p. 44) Thank you for this interesting answer.
It is with much gratitude that I recount this experience. Some time ago I was trying to open an old wardrobe when a small piece of the plywood covering the wardrobe door went into my fingernail.
In her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy makes a powerful statement: “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need” ( p. 494 ).
A few years ago, while I was at a dental checkup, my dentist said he was concerned because there were deep pockets in the gums around my teeth. He asked that I come in for a teeth cleaning every three months, rather than a standard cleaning schedule of returning every six months.
One day in early 2012, my husband noticed our son’s gelding, Vinny, exhibiting behavior that unmistakably indicated serious colic. Colic is often fatal in horses.
While working in Africa for several months, I was invited by good friends to spend five days visiting Kruger National Park, a large game preserve. I had never done this before but always wanted to, so I was very excited by the prospect.
Science and Health came into my life as a beacon of light, bringing me a sense of harmony and peace. I have learned from this book the love, wisdom, and power that God manifests in our lives when we’re facing health problems.
In 2000, I was moving to another city, and with all the problems to solve relating to the move and two young daughters requiring my attention, I felt very stressed and started showing symptoms of a heart disorder. The episodes were constant, but I didn’t think much about the condition until one day while shopping I felt chest pain and experienced an increased heart rate; my vision became blurred and I almost fainted.
Six years ago a sticky substance formed on one of my eyes, which made it very hard for me to see. I asked a Christian Science practitioner for prayerful help.
