All of my friends had skateboards, but I wasn't very interested in them. Then one day a friend showed me all the moves I could make on a skateboard—finger flip, power slide, and rail drop.

The next day I got a used one. Early on a Sunday morning about a week later, I went out to skateboard and fell on my arm and hurt it badly. I went inside, scared and in a lot of pain. My mom comforted me, and we said the Lord's Prayer (see Matt. 6:9–13) and "the scientific statement of being" (see Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, p. 468). I was very afraid, but I knew God was taking care of me no matter what. Also, I knew I was God's image and likeness; so I couldn't be hurt, because God is never hurt.

Church was about to start, so I got dressed with help from my mom. Then I went to Sunday School. What I learned there about God really helped me, and I felt better.
