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!

All ‘jobs’ or ‘walks of life’ are demanding if done morally and correctly. It took a while to figure out that growing up on a farm i was taught little things gradually over time with new things added when earlier lessons were perfected. When hiring an adult who hadn’t grown up on a farm; even the ‘simplest’ thing such as interacting with a new species of animal (in this case cows) was baffling to the most ‘intelligent’ newbies. Sometimes that seemed better than an experienced hired hand because they usually wanted to do things ‘their way’ that they were familiar with. So when I milked cows for a neighbor I tried to imitate ‘their way’ of milking because that’s what the cows were used to.

Coming to Christianity later in life I materially am clinging to what I’m familiar with; human thought. Even more difficult than overcoming my incorrect concept I had of Christianity is the ‘skewed’ version of Christian Science that is practiced by those who don’t follow our Leader correctly. Essentially at the present time I’m trying to drop human concepts and be at-one with God, now I see why those poor folks I hired in the past were so confused because that’s what human thought does to us:(

I do enjoy hearing testimonies from Scientists who work among people or in offices because that’s where I find it the most difficult to listen to God. When I’m doing ‘physical’labor’ out in nature I find it much easier to be at-one with Him.
