There are so many things I loved about attending the Christian Science Sunday School: the pure and holy atmosphere, the opportunity to delve into the Bible and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, and the spiritual lessons I learned. Sunday School was a place where I was encouraged to take these spiritual lessons and apply them to my life.
One Sunday, my Sunday School teacher talked about Mind, one of seven synonyms that Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy gives for God. After that particular lesson, I felt as though I understood a little better that Mind is intelligence itself. So, divine intelligence is everywhere and always present because it is Mind. Also, the Bible teaches that man is created in the image and likeness of God (see Genesis 1:26, 27), so man reflects absolute intelligence (or God) all the time.
Sometime after this, some friends and I were playing a game we used to play, one that perhaps wasn’t very safe but that we, as young boys, enjoyed. In this game one person slides down a hill on a sled, while another stands down the hill, directly in his path. There was a dare to see which one would avert collision first.
