This is an incredibly long post which may be a little hard to follow. I mostly wrote it for myself, but thought I would share it here as well. It is a semi-metacognative conversation on selections from the chapter on Marriage in Science and Health. I was mostly left with a great desire to build … Continue reading the formation of mortals

2 a: still in existence, force, or operation*
The Mother Church is running a campaign to rejuvenate the CS movement called "Church Alive." Interestingly, there are a number of other religious groups that are also using the theme of "Church Alive." The Catholics have a "Church Alive" website, there is a Church Alive YouTube channel, a TV station and a series published by … Continue reading 2 a: still in existence, force, or operation*
placating the masses & getting govmt. money
It is my turn to be inspired by a fellow blogger: Emerging Gently has a piece entitled Christian Science AND Medical Care? which inspired me to actually read the NYTimes piece instead of just skimming over it and sighing heavily at TMC's attempt at relevance. Back in 2010 the NYTimes ran a piece entitled: Christian … Continue reading placating the masses & getting govmt. money
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
summaries
I have a confession to make: I spend way too much time looking at my blog stats. Even when I don't post any content, I try and check and see how many people have stopped by to look. I'm still slightly shocked anyone (beyond my husband and my BFF) reads what I post. I also … Continue reading summaries
I don’t need Camels
I'm a member of a "local" Christian Science group for "young adults." I haven't actually attended any of their meetings, but I also haven't bothered to have them take me off their e-mail list either. This came in my inbox today: Dear [name of group withheld] Member, David Fowler is working on filming short interviews … Continue reading I don’t need Camels

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
Christian Science, Health Care & the Government
I feel strongly about the separation of Church and State. I enjoy having the freedom to practice whatever I'd like, and the freedom from being forced to practice any particular religion. It makes me uncomfortable when "conservatives" with "Christian" values start lobbying Congress for laws that line up with their (Old Testament) views on morality … Continue reading Christian Science, Health Care & the Government
