"Dear Mom, please keep your opinions to yourself." That was the note on my desk when I came home after an early morning run. The previous evening, my college-age daughter and I had had a conversation about her boyfriend. He'd spent a couple of weeks in our home, and I'd told her some thoughts I had regarding his disposition. The note was left as she left for her summer job.
Opinions never healed anybody!
My response to the note surprised me. I wasn't angry or hurt. The only word that resonated with me was opinions. I'd recently been accepted into the directory of Christian Science practitioners at the back of this magazine—agreeing to commit my life to spiritual healing. Now I saw that I had to be thoroughly consistent with this commitment.
