Late in 1993 I woke one morning with much pain in one big toe. Immediately I prayed. There is no sensation in matter, I reasoned, because spiritual truth denies such a possibility. The condition did not improve, but I had no fear whatsoever that healing would not come. Later I decided to cancel an appointment in a town some distance away.

The person I was to visit, a longtime friend who is also a Christian Science practitioner, sensed something was not right. We discussed on the telephone the possibility of her praying for me, and agreed that she would begin to do so.

The difficulty continued for a couple of days, and I found myself hobbling around and confined to the house. Then the other big toe assumed the same symptoms, and even getting to the bathroom was a struggle. Still I stuck to the prayer I had taken up, and trusted that I would overcome this problem through spiritual understanding.
