One day I was helping my mother in the kitchen, and as I poured boiling water off some macaroni, the pan slipped and the water spilled all over my front.

We also called a Christian Science practitioner, who told me to think about the Bible story of the three Hebrew men in the fiery furnace, and how they were protected from being burned because of their faith in God.
