I think it is time for the Christian Science community to be a little more honest with themselves (and the public at large). The Mother Church can scoff at the "false" idea that Christian Science forbids it's followers from seeking medical care. The TMC can even let the NYTimes interview some CSPs with their blessing, … Continue reading a little honesty, please

supernatural & highly abstract hygiene
I follow a number of blogs written by both practicing and former Christian Scientists. I try to find ones that are inspiring, thought provoking, different, well-researched, and relatively new to the scene. There are lots of interesting CS and former-CS bloggers out there. The other day, LebensFreude-Heilung (for the English, visit Vitality and Healing) posted … Continue reading supernatural & highly abstract hygiene
my Prin hoodie
The other morning it was rather chilly and I was going to spend a part of they day on projects around the house. Without much thought I pulled out my Prin College hoodie, cozy, warm and already stained from projects, to wear. I took Kid1 to school and the first friend we saw was the … Continue reading my Prin hoodie
Planning Ahead Can Make a Difference in the End
A friend of mine shared this on my facebook wall recently and I thought it was worth sharing here. I love the reminder that when you pass away your energy is still around, it is not lost, it is just less orderly... some how that seems fitting. Planning Ahead Can Make a Difference in the … Continue reading Planning Ahead Can Make a Difference in the End
no more monkeys
In the car today Kid1 wanted to listen to kid music. I obligingly put on the kid-appropriate album on the ipod and up popped the five little monkeys song. For those of you fortunate enough not to have heard it well over a hundred times, the premise is there are five little monkeys jumping on … Continue reading no more monkeys
fear & heresy
Growing up as a Christian Scientist meant living in fear: fear of mental malpractice, fear the government would take away our religious exemptions, fear we wouldn't be able to adequately demonstrate healing and need (or be "forced by the state") to get treatment from the medical industrial complex. Having left Christian Science, many of us … Continue reading fear & heresy

This is part of my on-going series of posts on Health Care for Christian Scientists & Former Christian Scientists. I have done my best to collect accurate information about vaccines so that you can make an informed decision. If you have any questions or concerns about vaccinations for yourself or your children, please talk to … Continue reading Vaccinations
Puritan Valentine’s Day Cards
Being with you fills me with impure thoughts, and I am ashamed because my thoughts are interfering with my relationship with God. How very Christian Science.
Back, but not really
We are still recovering from the plague. We're doing better, but lack of sleep, snot, and a really horrible sounding cough continue to haunt us. We took Kid1 and Kid2 to see their pediatrician on Monday. The good news is that the "worst of it is probably over" and that it is "not influenza, bronchitis, … Continue reading Back, but not really
Children’s Ailments
For someone whose only child was taken into care in 1851 (or raised by others, depending on which version of the story you choose to believe), Ms. Eddy has quite a few things to say about the raising of children, and the best way to handle their ailments. My favorite piece of child-handling precedent comes … Continue reading Children’s Ailments
