The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

Thank you! We can always turn to God no matter the mess we are in…. usually self created.

I became very curious about Jonah after my Bible fell open to the 4th and last chapter. Even after Jonah returned to God in his prayers, was delivered from the whale’s stomach, went to Nineveh as God directed, he was still angry about the whole thing and wanted to die. I was struck about how God stayed with him and although Jonah was given a rebuke He made it clear to Jonah that he must trust God in His judgement and be content. This is a wonderful lesson not only to obey God, but also not to question what God is doing or has done.
