A millstone or a milestone,
Which shall it be?
Shall I hang it heavy around my neck
And drag it along with me,
Or stand it up by the roadside
To mark one more victory?

Our lives often seem filled with trials of one kind or another, and with each trial we must choose. Are we going to let some painful evidence convince us that evil is a real power that has invaded our lives, wreaking destruction and discord? Will we allow it to become a millstone pulling us down, as we drown in self-pity and fear? Or are we going to trust implicitly that “the substance, Life, intelligence, Truth, and Love, which constitute Deity, are reflected by His creation; and when we subordinate the false testimony of the corporeal senses to the facts of Science, we shall see this true likeness and reflection everywhere” (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 516)?
