Healed after a snowboarding accident
I attended a high school in Colorado that had a focus on Christian Science and outdoor education. During my three years there, I grew spiritually and learned to understand God and my relation to Him. I also learned to snowboard, and went from being a beginner to feeling comfortable with more difficult runs.
One afternoon, the school went to a large recreation area for skiing and snowboarding. My favorite run was full of curves, hills, little mounds, jumps, and a lot of trees. It was like going through an obstacle course and a maze all in one.
It was very cold that day, and snow started to fall hard as I went up the chairlift with a friend. When we reached the top, we strapped on our snowboards and headed down. Partway down, we decided to try going off a jump hidden among the trees. We didn’t know there was a sheet of ice covered with snow in front of the jump.
