My prayers assured me that I would not have to pay a penalty for falling, nor suffer from any so-called material law that insisted I’d experience bad effects.
My arm was swollen and painful, and black and blue down to my fingertips. I asked to be taken home, and the staff of the Christian Science retirement community where I live, who had accompanied me to the appointment, obliged.
