It had been a long week. Keeping track of four children, running a household, and operating a small business left no time for going into my spiritual "closet" of prayer as it were. So the painful back condition was only becoming more and more aggravated.
My job involved the operation of an aerobics company, developing choreography and movement for an increasingly demanding client base. But my activity had literally and figuratively ground to a halt. Though I was unable to perform any of my day-to-day activities, a friend of mine suggested that I go to a talk on Christian Science.
The day of the talk, I was still moving slowly, and I entered to find seating available only in the front row. The speaker waited patiently as I inched my way carefully down the aisle and lowered myself gingerly into the seat.
