Do we really have too much to think about?

When we began "thinking it through" together last July, we talked first about ethics and people's reawakened interest in living by solid values and a moral code. Later we looked at the injustice of homelessness and how prayer has the capacity to bring to light the refuge of home wherever it may be needed. And in the Sentinel issues since then, we've covered a lot of ground in learning together more of what it means to be pray-ers and healers in the world and for the world. We've dealt with the so-called "big issues," but often, too, with today's personal and family issues that can loom large, as we do in this issue.

It's clear, of course, there's no lack of things to be "thought through." But we felt it was time to pause and let you know that the informed prayer, right reasoning, and spiritual sense which everyone is bringing to this work are making a difference.

For one thing, you should know that when we say "everyone" we literally mean everyone—writers, readers, and editors. These columns have been written by many of us on the editorial staff, but what gets said isn't some unique individual revelation. It is very much a collective demonstration— undergirded by the Science of Christianity and by your demonstration of it. We have drawn on the insights and support of colleagues and the many healing experiences that come our way through articles, interviews, testimonies, and correspondence. These experiences illustrate the remarkable willingness of Sentinel readers and contributors to "think it through" in the toughest of situations and with practical, healing outcome. As a matter of fact, whether this column opens a Sentinel or not, each issue is really a call to this kind of spiritual work.
