Timely articles

I want to express my appreciation for Greg Jarvis’s article “Stability during the housing crisis” [March 19 Sentinel]. The example of the woman needing to sell a house and going to church before looking at an important voicemail shows the power of church and putting God first. That prayerful church time allowed the caller to phone again with a more abundant result.

Another article, “Love is reflected in home” by Michelle Nanouche, was also helpful. I appreciated the thought that as we accumulate stuff in our lives we can ask if each piece “fit[s] with my life today? Does it add value? Will keeping it promote my spiritual growth and progress, or am I afraid that if I let it go I won’t have what I need?” This questioning is a great basis for approaching piles accumulated in storage and in thought!

Both on court and off

Many thanks to Barbara Klementz for sharing her inspiring basketball story in the March 12 Sentinel. I loved reading how she applies “a prayerful understanding of God to [her] life”—declaring with joy: “Yes, sports at ‘my age’!”

I met Barbara at the National Senior Olympics in Pittsburgh when we were attending the local Christian Science church service. After realizing that we both play basketball, we smiled knowingly when we heard Psalms 100:4 read from the desk. “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise.” Later our teams met on the basketball court for a tournament game.

Thank you, Barbara, for assuring us that “God is the direct source of strength, energy, agility, and limitless living.” I’ll continue contemplating all the wonderful ideas in the article—applying them with joy on the basketball court.

No self-condemnation

I would like to thank you for the March 5 issue of the Sentinel, “Erasing mistakes.” The article “Many mansions” by Elaine Jarvis helped me see that self-condemnation for past mistakes only keeps us in the dark, and Elaine explained beautifully how to move past them into the light of Truth.

Also, Doug Brown’s article “Seeing through the mist” was helpful to me in his explanation of seeing spiritually instead of through the limited senses.

What bounty! This entire issue brought much inspiration.

Correction

In the March 26 Sentinel, in the article “Singin’ in the rain,” page 16 ends with a complete sentence and the top of the column on page 17 begins with a partial spelling of a word. Obviously, some words have been omitted. It’s a fine article and I know that all of us would like to know what’s missing! Thank you.

We were “cryin’ in the rain” when we discovered this error, which occurred during production. Our sincere apologies to the author and our readers. The sentence in question should have read: “The decision to ‘be what I would be if I were healed’ was the result of the understanding I had gained from a previous healing, as well as what I was currently learning.” Read the article in full here.
