Living in a big city, there are so many opportunities to meet new people. And Boston is filled with people who are open to talking to strangers. This has been a new experience for me. I come from a small town where we go straight to our destination and then straight home without stopping to talk to strangers, if we can help it. Here, I find that I talk to at least one new person every day when I walk to or from work. It can be only a few words or a full blown conversation, but it assures me that people are very receptive to talking with one another. And they’re open to talking about religion, too. I’ve already had so many experiences where I’ve been able to explain my view of Christian Science to someone new. Read the rest of this entry »

Why are we so hung up about discussing religion with other students? Why is it a taboo subject?
I remember not wanting friends from school to find out I went to church for fear of having to discuss my beliefs with them. Ironically, it wasn’t until one of my friends invited me to her church youth group that I started to become more vocal about my Christian Science beliefs. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m a big fan of ted.com,–it’s a site devoted to sharing the ideas of today’s deepest, most creative thinkers. Recently, I saw a great 3 minute video about how movements get started.
It got me thinking about Christ Jesus and Mary Baker Eddy, and how, if no one had ever followed them, they’d just be unknown individuals who may have seemed a little crazy to everyone around them. Their accomplishments would have faded into forgotten history. But those first few followers, who were willing to leave their old ideas behind and follow these extraordinary people, created movements that span time and reach hearts and minds in every part of the globe.

Yo soy una gran aficionada de ted.com, – es un sitio dedicado a compartir las ideas de los pensadores más profundos y creativos de hoy en día. Recientemente, vi un video muy bueno de 3 minutos sobre cómo empezar un movimiento.
Me hizo pensar en Cristo Jesús y Mary Baker Eddy y en cómo, si ellos no hubieran sido seguidos, hubieran sido individuos desconocidos, que tal vez parecieran un tanto locos a sus pares. Sus logros se hubieran desvanecido y hubieran sido olvidados. Pero esos primeros seguidores que fueron capaces de dejar atrás sus viejas ideas y siguieron a estas personas extraordinarias, crearon movimientos que se extendieron en el tiempo y llegaron a tocar corazones y mentes en todas partes del mundo.

I’ve been hearing about statistics concerning violence against women lately. It seems that when there are holidays or sports events that encourage heavy drinking, violence against women including rape, escalates. Hearing one of these reports on the radio last week made me start praying about safety—everyone’s. Read the rest of this entry »

Recientemente he estado oyendo muchas estadísticas que tienen que ver con la violencia contra mujeres. Parece que cuando hay vacaciones o eventos deportivos que incitan el aumento del consumo de alcohol, la violencia contra mujeres, incluyendo la violación, también crece. El escuchar uno de estos reportes en la radio la semana pasada, me hizo comenzar a orar sobre la seguridad – de todos. Read the rest of this entry »
