I started this post months ago, and I've revised it and revised it and revised it ever since (and I'll probably have revised it a few more times before it goes live - it has had 25+ revisions so far). I was initially considering quitting blogging entirely -- I'll be honest, the fact the top … Continue reading One Year In, Now What?

A Letter to the Jehovah’s Witness Lady
I found this to be a most enlightening piece, I was not aware that MBE's coming was foretold and by prophecy and that the signs were fulfilled. I may have to keep this piece on hand if the dear Mormon missionaries ever come back to visit.
the Co$t of Chri$tian $cience
I have written at length about authorized Church Literature, how every "good" Christian Scientist has at least three copies of Science & Health, and how even the Right Dictionary can make a difference. I recently visited a friend who had several bookcases full of CS-related literature - Bound Volumes, multiple copies of the KJV Bible … Continue reading the Co$t of Chri$tian $cience
Divine Love: Two Boats & a Helicopter
In lieu of art and iconography, Christian Science churches often adorn their walls with stark quotes from Our Beloved Leader, the Discovered and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy. One of the more popular quotes to adorn sanctuary walls is "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every every human need." I've … Continue reading Divine Love: Two Boats & a Helicopter
Final Generation 2
I was inspired by the comments on the previous post to share a little more about my background. Everyone says they were "encouraged to explore and question," my father (selectively) encouraged my exploring and questioning. I did a lot of exploring and questioning, which is of the lovely, and often problematic, things about Christian Science: … Continue reading Final Generation 2
Final Generation CS
Not too long ago the Mad Cap Christian Scientist talked about being a "Second Generation Geologist," pointing out that A person can’t just inherit an expertise in geology – you have to do your own work, and put in your own study of it to be able to make the claim that you’re a geologist. … Continue reading Final Generation CS
Used
I want to find this doll, bring her home and care for her. She deserves more than to be abandoned by TMC.
Liberated from Limited Thinking
In the Principia magazine PURPOSE Summer 2013, there is an article about liberal art education, and on p. 13 there is a little blurb from the college president, Dr. Palmer, which talks about his perspective on the liberal arts and sciences: Liberal arts are liberating arts. They’re an opportunity to see how multiple disciplines work … Continue reading Liberated from Limited Thinking
human fabrication & “true” Christian Science
A few weeks ago I was contacted by an author, spiritual healer and counselor in Australia who had come across kindism.org. She writes monthly inspirational news letters, and has recently posted some of them to her website/blog. I found her July message on "True Christian Science" (1) to be rather interesting. She begins with a … Continue reading human fabrication & “true” Christian Science
how is this relevant to me now
I've had this blog on auto-post for a few weeks now and I've found the experience to be rather liberating. While I've been checking in to moderate comments (mostly spam-bots), and read other people's work I've done remarkably little with actual content. I've got half a dozen posts "in the works" but right now I'm … Continue reading how is this relevant to me now
