I often watch the television program Antiques Roadshow. It’s one of my favorites.

Several years ago our son was participating in a round-the-world sailboat race, which took about nine months. The finish line was in Southampton, England, which is up the English Channel.

Travel can be an opportunity for advancing spiritually by following God’s direction, as I have learned.   A couple of years ago my husband and I took a river boat cruise from Vienna to the Black Sea.

As I was listening to the children’s testimonies, and testimonies involving children, at an online Christian Science Wednesday testimony meeting, I found myself relishing the simple, childlike thoughts and spiritual truths that were being expressed. There were no fancy words, no intricate explanations—just clear reliance on the basic principles learned from Sunday School and parents.

Have you ever had a dream where you could fly, where you had the ability to take off, soar, and look down on scenes below? I had such a dream recently. I could move sideways and up and down.

I had put my house up for sale well in advance of my moving date. Six months was plenty of time, I figured.

Although I do believe with all my heart that the path will open up for me to serve in a Christian Science nursing facility, for now I am honored, blessed, and humbled to be one of the conduits of the Light of divine Love in a hospital, where I work in environmental services.   I would like to share a wonderful demonstration at the hospital that happened recently.

When my family was young, one day I found my home in anguish. The children were complaining, one of them was ill, my wife was too, the mood in the home was gloomy, and I was depressed.

One thing that sets Christian Science churches apart from most other churches is the weekly testimony meeting on Wednesday nights. The past two years I’ve come to appreciate these gatherings as mid-week refreshments.
