BURNED OUT OR FIRED UP?

BY PAM DEBOLT

Let us feel the divine energy of Spirit, bringing us into newness of life and recognizing no mortal nor material power as able to destroy. Let us rejoice that we are subject to the divine "powers that be."

—Mary Baker Eddy,Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 249
