While I had heard about Ms. Eddy's Christ and Christmas poem growing up, I didn't read it until just recently, when I came across MJSmith's analyses of it on The Ark of Truth Mother's Hood. I am more acquainted with Ms. Eddy's hymn/poem Christmas Morn as it regularly made an appearance at Christmas Hymn Sings, … Continue reading Commentary on Ms. Eddy’s “Christ and Christmas”

Ellen & Christian Science
I like that Ellen DeGeneres has been very open about her Christian Science past. Christian Science was mentioned in a June 2002 interview with CBS, and it got a passing mention in her Nov. 2005 People interview.

While I enjoy cooking with wine, I still don't drink, and my over all knowledge of alcoholic beverages is fairly limited. I'm sure there are other former-CS out there with a similar problem. Thankfully, this handy-dandy chart of … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving

I showed it to my husband -- … Continue reading Empathy during Illness: Christian Science is Lacking
