FOUND: A LIFE WORTH LIVING

Donald Shipman

A few years ago, I believed I didn't have long to live. I felt a growth in my throat, and I had awakened on several occasions with an irregular heartbeat. I barely had the energy to cut the grass or to walk down the driveway. I was convinced that if I didn't get better soon, I wouldn't be around much longer.

I finally came to my senses and asked myself, "Do I want to live, or do I want to die?" I realized that I wanted to live, and I knew that if God couldn't heal me, nothing could. Having witnessed a lifetime of Truth-based healings, I had no doubt that all real healing comes from God.

I began to pray in earnest and asked a Christian Science practitioner to pray with me. I found a new love for the Bible. I read the New Testament first, then the Old Testament. I read Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy from cover to cover and most of Mrs. Eddy's other writings. The Christian Science Sentinel—Radio Edition tapes and all the periodicals were a tremendous help in keeping my thought at a level where true healing could take place. My fear vanished, but the bodily symptoms lingered.
