The whole picture

Garrett Barner

This past summer I was a counselor-in-training (CIT) at a summer camp for Christian Scientists. The summer was filled with new experiences, revelations, and lots of new chances to demonstrate Christian Science. There were many healings that I experienced, but the most prominent was a healing of my leg.

As I participated in a staff “gym-khana” (in this case, an equestrian race), I was thrown off my horse while running in an event called the “keyhole.” In this gymkhana event you ride into a keyhole-looking area in which you have to go through two poles, stop, turn around, and then run out between the two poles, while being timed.

It was while stopping that I lost balance in my saddle and got thrown off my horse. After landing, I immediately started to feel discomfort in my leg. Since I was told I could run the event again, my only thought was to get back in the saddle.
