I am grateful for having grown up in a loving Christian Science household and for many years of attendance in a Christian Science Sunday School. During this time, I witnessed many physical healings at home.
One time, one of my brothers was very ill with what I believe was double pneumonia. A Christian Science practitioner was on the case, and in a very short time he was completely healed.
Later I attended a two-year women’s college, where I picked up two bad habits, smoking and social drinking. These habits stayed with me for about seven years, all told. During that time, I often tried to quit the smoking by cutting down to three cigarettes a day, which resulted in my smoking many more another day. After two years of college, I went to work for two years. Then I did three years of military service, after which I signed up for college again.
