The way is straight and narrow.

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!

    “Be watchful, sober, and vigilant. The way is straight and narrow, which leads to the understanding that God is the only Life.” by Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health, page 324

    This line from our Lesson this week spoke to me of obedience and patience. In thinking about the instructions at Plainfield, in the Bible, and Mrs. Eddy’s writings I remembered in school learning how to use the balance beam. To stay on the straight and narrow beam takes focus, persistence, patience, discipline, and practice. There are rules to follow. It doesn’t help to get discouraged. I do not expect to do cartwheels as a beginner and start with the lower beam and work up to more advanced skills. It helps to keep your eye looking where you are headed rather than stare at your feet. There are many things I must yield to in order to stay on the beam. Just like I am learning about following God’s precepts here at Plainfield. I am very grateful for the love and time put in to everything done here for our spiritual growth. Just like the beam though it is up to me to work it.
