Subscribing for the periodicals as the Manual of The Mother Church directs every member to do (see p. 44) is a lot more than paying the subscription price and receiving a magazine. I read every single issue of the Journal and the Christian Science Sentinel I get.
At one time in my life, however, I’d skim the titles and read only the articles that looked as if they might benefit me. Then one day I read one article that I normally would have passed over. It contained the coolest insight in it, which the title did not allude to. I was so wowed I started reading every article, testimony, and other items, to see what gems they held, and I discovered there are gems in every single piece. So I realized that subscribing includes actually reading!
I was so wowed I started reading every article.
