Good morning, this spring day. I would like to say how much I loved the photo by Steve Ryf in the November 4 Sentinel. It was just beautiful, catching the light in the mountains with the lovely creek and rocks in the foreground. And it was so apt for the corresponding Bible verse telling us that the light is come, reiterating what is in this week’s Christian Science Bible Lesson. Thank you so much. I love everything in the Sentinel and can’t put it down when it comes in my mailbox.

Grateful thanks to Debby Miller for her testimony “Farm dog quickly healed” (Sentinel, October 7, 2013). I was especially taken with her confidence in the power of her prayer as she continued leading her horses home after one accidentally trampled one of her dogs. Little did I know how useful her inspired sharings would be. The very next day, my little dog stumbled into a hornets’ nest. As I followed Debby’s refusal to focus on alarming symptoms, the quick return to harmony for Ceilidh was most gratifying. Mary Baker Eddy’s passage, “All of God’s creatures, moving in the harmony of Science, are harmless, useful, indestructible” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 514), addresses all the players in our experiences—horses, dogs, and, yes, even hornets!
