This is #3 in a series of posts looking at the 26 Christian Science Weekly Bible Lesson subjects, chosen by Mary Baker Eddy, and rotated twice per year. These lessons are the sermon at each Christian Science church worldwide, and are read by Christian Scientists daily. Today’s subject is “Adam and Fallen Man”.
This is why I seriously loathe Christians sometimes. This kind of conduct is disgusting beyond all description.
A while back, I wrote a post about an experience from my days as a Christian Science Sunday School student. My teacher at the time was a man I call Mr. M. (I’ll keep his identity secret, although I believe he is now deceased). If you go back to my previous post, you’ll read all about his diatribes against abortion, but that’s only one of many for him. He had more, and worse, in his arsenal. Continue reading
The following is a guest post from Kat, a regular reader and commenter.
Our youngest child has been hit by the 48-hour stomach bug. It came on suddenly and without warning, one moment riding a bike around the yard, the next projectile vomiting all over the patio.

I stayed home sick today from work. First of all, I want to say that I’m grateful I can do this; not everyone has a job that gives them the benefit of sick days, and I dearly wish everyone did.

Rarely a day goes by that I am not grateful for what I have. Continue reading

Today, we celebrate the new year: 2014. How time seems to fly lately. I don’t know if it’s a function of age, or something else, but it seems to me that time passes more quickly now than it used to.
