RASH ON FACE AND NECK HEALED

REX NELLES

A couple of years ago, I was living and working year round at a Christian Science summer camp that was available for the public to use in the off season. During autumn, there was a large group renting the camp, and on an early Saturday morning, I'd scheduled a meeting with one of the leaders to go over logistics.

As I was getting ready for the day, I felt unusual tightness and some irritation on the left side of my jaw and neck. Since I'd grown a big bushy beard, I couldn't see anything physically wrong when I looked in the mirror, and thought nothing more of it.

But when I walked into my meeting, the woman in charge of the off-season group said, "What's wrong with your neck?" Looking in a nearby mirror, I saw a large puffy rash covering a large portion of my neck and jaw. Surprised, I excused myself from the meeting and went back to my cabin to pray. I'd relied on Christian Science in many aspects of my life before and told myself that I'd handle this problem by turning to God in prayer. I sat down and began to read the Christian Science Bible Lesson out of my Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy. For the next couple of days, I dedicated time each morning and night to quietly praying in my cabin, acknowledging God's loving presence and control in my life.
