Truth over tabloids

The Editors

It’s hard to miss the headlines.

“Bikini body after baby!” “Crazy in love!” “Divorce rumors swirl!” shout at us in bold colors as we wait to make our purchase at the grocery store or surf the Web. All the gossip and self-promotion can prompt us to look away. But with celebrity culture increasingly making news, should we just be passive observers? We can actually be vigilant about detecting basic lies that try to pull us away from recognizing each person for who they really are spiritually—whether a “regular Joe” or a famous name.

Christian Science gives us the tools to meet life's story lines with spiritual counter facts.
