I headed to a quiet park to listen and pray about this so-far unsuccessful deal by organizing my thoughts and praying to affirm and understand spiritual truths from the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s writings.

Our team had been working for months to creatively rezone two parcels of land, and the city planning and zoning commission would cast its vote on the matter that night.

From the moment he was assigned, this case officer had created obstacles for us and caused numerous delays.
