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 for this great reminder to “keep our conversation in heaven.” I’ve come a long way from a time when I had a pretty unbridled tongue, and I’m grateful for this progress.

To “bridle”: 1. To restrain, guide or govern; to check, curb or control; as, to bridle the passions.

I know I can be my own worst enemy if I don’t keep my thoughts in check before they become words. Mrs. Eddy tells us to “Stand porter at the door of thought”. It’s so worth the effort to watch in this way!
