First off, let me say that the thought of practicing Christian Science for the public was the very last thing I would have imagined myself doing. I would have said "Never in a million years!"
Not only was it not in line with how I saw myself, it didn't fit my capabilities. Most practitioners and their patients communicate by telephone, but I was uneasy about talking on the telephone. I was also uncomfortable meeting with new people—shyness, I guess. Yet today, I can look back and see how my whole life had been a preparation for this precious work. Part of that preparation had been my making God my love in life.
