In 1987 I was pregnant with our third child

Christine Leimbach-Walen

In 1987 I was pregnant with our third child. One morning I woke and found that I could not pass water. This was a Sunday morning. I went to church, and although it was painful to move, I found the service to be of comfort. When I got home, because I was still in pain, I called a Christian Science practitioner to pray for me.

She asked me to look up the following citation in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy: "For right reasoning there should be but one fact before the thought, namely, spiritual existence. In reality there is no other existence, since Life cannot be united to its unlikeness, mortality."

Over the two weeks that this practitioner worked with me, I really learned the difference between matter-based reasoning and reasoning from the standpoint of God's allness. I realized that trying to reason from the standpoint of both matter and Spirit, God, was futile.
