Partially indulged.

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!

    “Wrath which is only appeased is not destroyed, but partially indulged.” from Science and Health, by Mary Baker Eddy, page 22
    This line from our Lesson popped out at me.

    Websters 1828 Dictionary:
    “Appease: To make quiet; to calm; to pacify.
    Destroy: To cause to cease; to put an end to.
    Indulge: To yield to the practice of, without restraint or control.”

    My habit of “pacifying” is allowing some error to remain unaddressed. I ask, “What am I appeasing and why?” I see that what I called being “nice” really was avoiding something. I was also attempting to solve things with human will now I am glad to be learning how to do this with God.
