Reply To: "Faith in Drugs"

Since coming to Plainfield I have begun to really appreciate knowing the real, unadulterated meanings of the words we use. With the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary, and other resources, it has slowly become clearer to me how this understanding affects our ability to handle error. Through the Forum, the Bible Studies, Roundtables, and all this Church offers — along with regular practitioner support — my toolbox has been expanded and refined in ways that I could never have done on my own. Your posts have been an important part of that, Parthens, and I am very grateful for them!

During my time here, I have seen how eliminating words such as luck, fortunate, chance, etc. from my vocabulary have forced me to see where those concepts had a hold in my thought so I could handle them. I have also found that gaining a real understanding of Love has uncovered all the times its counterfeit showed its head before. Without a right understanding, I was as unprepared as though I was bringing a flower to a gun fight: I never stood a chance, which is exactly what error wants.

I am so grateful for this Science, and for all that is done here. Thank you!
