Make the right call: Reject anger
Brittany is ready to take the court.
This past summer I was really excited about a basketball tournament against one of the best teams in our league. On the way to the gym, my dad and I said a “met” together in the car. The word met is short for a “metaphysical” idea. At the summer camp for Christian Scientists I attend, before every activity we start with a good idea, usually from Mary Baker Eddy’s writings, the Bible, or the Christian Science Hymnal.
Our “met” before the basketball game went along the lines of a quote from Mary Baker Eddy’s Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896: “Never ask for tomorrow: it is enough that divine Love is an ever-present help; and if you wait, never doubting, you will have all you need every moment” (p. 307).
