Finding Christian Science was like stepping from utter darkness...
Finding Christian Science was like stepping from utter darkness into a light and harmony and joy I had never thought possible.
My memories of my childhood were of pain, illness, and continual trips to the doctor. My hard-working parents gave my sisters and me the best care they could, but our physical troubles only increased. I was admonished by my parents to be always good or God would punish me. This picture of a wrathful God only added to my fears and insecurity.
During my grade-school years, one little girl stood out to me from all the rest. She was always smiling, rosy-cheeked, and healthy. She was a Christian Scientist. I was impressed.
