Don't catch that ball!

Jenifer Carol Wechsler

Imagine you were playing ball with your friends, and you were about to catch the ball. As it came toward you, you saw it was covered with gooey, drippy mud. Would you catch it? Or would you duck and let it go by?

Error is just like that messy ball. We don't have to play games with sickness, or anger, or other bad things. We don't have to catch any error!

A ball player should be alert. That means he must be able to see quickly what's happening, be watchful so he can decide what to do and do it quickly. We wouldn't play ball with our eyes closed, and we shouldn't be caught with our thinking closed either. Christian Science helps us to be always watchful and not to play error's game.
