I was receptive because my heart yearned for better answers, and I have been endlessly grateful ever since to my friend for sharing Christian Science in the way he did.
I wondered if I would have enough time for everything and still be able to succeed in the doctoral program I was embarking upon. I debated whether I should even continue with it.
I knew that the solution to my problem would be to turn my thoughts around and purposefully spend time learning about my spiritual identity instead of just wallowing in how I was feeling.
I understand better how important it is to watch our thoughts and not think of anything as dangerous or capable of doing harm. How can anything cause evil when God, good, has all power?
