Throughout my childhood Christian Science healed me quickly of various diseases. A healing of recurring earaches stands out; my mother called a Christian Science practitioner to pray for me, who helped me to gain an understanding of my true identity as a perfect, healthy child of God. I remember praying with the statement on page 463 from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, "A spiritual idea has not a single element of error, and this truth removes properly whatever is offensive."

One Wednesday evening my mother went to church, leaving me resting on her bed (Dad was home with me). After she left I thought about that statement and reasoned: "I am a spiritual idea; I cannot have any evil, because God is good and He fills all space. This truth of God's allness removes in a proper, understandable manner anything unlike Him—anything offensive." Shortly after this the pain disappeared. I have never experienced this kind of ear problem again.

Five years ago I had another important healing. I began feeling extreme pain at the base of my spine, and would occasionally find signs of some kind of discharge. I became quite fearful, remembering that both my father and an older brother had had a similar condition. They had chosen to have medical attention, with mixed results.
