Protected during, and after, a car crash

Thomas Liston

Last Mother’s Day my wife, daughter, grandchildren, and I were on our way from church to join up with the rest of the family for a meal. We stopped at a traffic light behind two other vehicles—and then, without warning, a truck traveling at highway speed struck our car from behind.

Instantly our car was filled with audible expressions of Truth from the five occupants, all of whom are Christian Scientists. I immediately heard statements like “God is Love,” “There are no accidents,” “Man is not material,” and other familiar statements, many of which were well-loved quotes from the writings of Mary Baker Eddy. We were all safe—the glass shards from the imploding rear window did not harm any of us.

Immediately after the collision with the truck, our car had struck the car ahead, and it in turn struck another vehicle in line. In the process our car collapsed into itself by more than four and a half feet, and was damaged beyond repair.
