Margaret A. Rose with contributions from Jason Rose

In my childhood and young adulthood the "true meaning" of life seemed elusive. I felt a lack of satisfaction with the religion of my childhood and an awareness of the emptiness of materialism. Almost a decade of near agnosticism followed.

It seemed some of the beliefs that I had trusted were really false supports. Relying on them was like walking on sandbars to avoid the water only to find that your feet were sinking through the sand into the wetness anyway.

The desire to gain a closeness to God resulted in a fuller awareness of His presence and a strong interest in spiritual growth. After reading some Christian Science literature and Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I began attending the services in a nearby branch Church of Christ, Scientist. This led to church membership.
