'I LOVED WHAT I WAS LEARNING'

TOM LA VERE

Last summer, I noticed that my left ring finger had curled under, and that trying to straighten it was quite painful. Any pressure on my hand, such as lifting anything, or even putting my hand in my pocket, was also painful. For a while, I would try to force my finger straight, but this just resulted in more discomfort and had no positive effect.

I finally realized that my attempts at physical adjustment were not required if I was going to rely on God for healing through my study of Christian Science. I decided to read Science and Health from cover to cover. In a short time, I began making progress with overcoming the pain in my hand through prayer, although my finger was still curved.

Then, one morning, I awoke with a pain in my left shoulder. At first, I thought I might have just slept on it in an awkward position, but the discomfort continued, and sometimes spread to my arm. After a few days with no relief, I called a Christian Science practitioner for help through prayer.
