My arm was perfect
I was scootering down a hill, and I hit a rock and fell. I walked home crying, holding my arm. I got home, and nobody was there. So I went to my grandfather's house, which is down the road.
My parents came and got me. They took me to the doctor. My arm was x-rayed. The doctor said that I had broken my arm, and put a cast on it. He said that I would have to keep the cast on for the rest of the summer.
A week later I went to Sunday School, and my teachers and friends and I all prayed. I thought, if God is perfect and I'm a reflection of God, then I'm perfect. I also repeated "the scientific statement of being" from the book Science and Health and thought about it a lot.
