That's what Christian Science teaches. He's much bigger and more dependable than a sock. And God shows up, as it were, in the strangest places sometimes. I should know. Once I found Him in a copy of People magazine.

I'd been in this really crummy relationship and was desperately trying to pray my way out of it. But in spite of my efforts, I felt like I was stuck in romantic fly paper, unable and, frankly, unwilling to break free.
