INEXHAUSTIBLE RESOURCES

INGRID PESCHKE, MANAGING EDITOR

These are not easy times. The pressures of our current economy have hit home for so many with daily news of layoffs, plummeting retirement accounts, and home foreclosures. Finding what's "steady" in the midst of financial instability can be tough.

But not impossible. And that's the message of this issue.

As I drove to work recently—along with thousands of other Boston commuters—I found myself actually grateful for the morning traffic slog. At that moment on I-90, my fellow drivers represented to me employment, purpose, forward movement—rather than the stress of bumper-to-bumper driving. And then, almost like reading a billboard, a flash of inspiration came: "We're all connected to the same inexhaustible resources of Spirit." I recognized this as an idea from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. Mary Baker Eddy wrote on page 494, "... to all mankind and in every hour, divine Love supplies all good." (And the note in the margin reads "Inexhaustible divine Love.")
