My parents began their study of Christian Science when I was two, after a dramatic healing of my sister. She, at the age of four, had ingested a nearly-full bottle of orange-flavored aspirin, which she had thought was candy. Through the prayers of a Christian Science practitioner, a full healing was effected.

I still remember my first teacher in the Christian Science Sunday School and the lessons I was taught. Christian Science was always the only religion I ever wanted. But, until recently, I don't think I ever really understood what it can mean to practice Christian Science.

A healing of severe back trouble that occurred a few years ago helped me to be more consecrated in putting Science into practice. One morning when I got out of bed, I was faced with great discomfort in my back. I managed to get to the kitchen and begin preparing my breakfast, but soon the pain increased and became unbearable. I could no longer stand or even move. I lay on the kitchen floor and tried to pray. I needed the prayerful help of a Christian Science practitioner, and eventually I was able to crawl to a telephone, all the while earnestly declaring spiritual truths.
