One Afternoon, my sister and I were headed for the mountains to pick up our children from camp. As we drove along, we talked about healings our children had had through prayer. We loved what we were learning about this statement by Mary Baker Eddy: "No evidence before the material senses can close my eyes to the scientific proof that God, good, is supreme." Miscellaneous Writings, p. 277.
While considering these ideas, we saw, ahead on the highway, a large object flying through the air over a tractor-trailer and landing by the side of the road. At first we thought the truck had lost some of its load. But as we passed it, we saw that it had been an out-of-control car, which landed upside down on the roadside grass. Several rigs had already pulled over. We also pulled over. Our prayer was to be able to help in some way.
My sister notified emergency personnel on her cell phone, while I made my way past the parked rigs to the overturned car. As it was some distance to cover on foot, I had time to pray. Questions came to me: What will I see? What will I do? Will I have the composure to meet the need? I remembered my conviction of a few moments before, that nothing I saw could make me doubt that God is supreme.
