In college, I was required to take a course in biology to complete my degree. As a new student in Christian Science, I was concerned that this course might delve deeply into the subject of matter as the substance of being, and tend to reinforce my belief in it.

I had an experience one evening that gave me the opportunity to figure out what to do. I was walking through the neighborhood, reviewing what I had just studied for an examination I was to take the next day. The exam was on a detailed sequence of events that occur when various blood cells work together to heal a wound.

I came upon a large dog who looked friendly. But as I started to pet him he promptly bit my hand. Unafraid, I wrapped my hand in my T-shirt. I continued my walk since it was a very pleasant evening, and I didn't feel like going home yet. Previous experience with a dogbite on my leg that became painful and infected could have made me fearful of what might happen if the hand became infected, but I didn't entertain the thought.
