I am writing this testimony to glorify God, with the hope that someone may be encouraged by reading some of the healings we have had in our family.

At one time when I signed up for swimming lessons, I was required to have a heart checkup. I was told I could not take the lessons because of the unfavorable report. Mary Baker Eddy writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (p. 425): "God is more to a man than his belief, and the less we acknowledge matter or its laws, the more immortality we possess. Consciousness constructs a better body when faith in matter has been conquered. Correct material belief by spiritual understanding, and Spirit will form you anew. You will never fear again except to offend God, and you will never believe that heart or any portion of the body can destroy you." I pondered this when it became necessary for me to have a physical examination for a university position. I called a Christian Science practitioner to help me, and she was very understanding and positive in her help. A reference from Psalms (73:26) "My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever" was very helpful.

After a few days I felt the calm and peace of being close to God and knew that nothing could be seen but God's perfect reflection. My good health was acknowledged in the examination. This was several years ago, and I am still working at the same university.
