Biking blessings

One afternoon in March 2012, I was at my house after school. I didn’t have much homework, so I decided to find something to do that would be a good use of my time. 

All of a sudden this angel message came to me: “God is all around us.” I really enjoy building with Lego blocks so I had the idea to build a church out of them. I named it “The Church of God,” representing the idea that everything is in God’s control and everyone is safe in God’s arms. In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy describes Church as “the structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle” (p. 583). The next morning, while I was preparing to go to school, I remember thinking about Church and how everyone on earth is in it, including me.
